FRIENDLY SOCIETY BARN DANCE, 2nd September 2006
Click on pictures to enlarge.

Malcolm Harding and a band of loyal helpers spent several days putting up the Barn Extension, sweeping and laying out the carpet as well as putting up the decorations. 

Barbecues were fetched and food bought and the bar stocked.  The weather was hesitant but kind in the end. 

The Back Room Band arrived and set up and 80 people were on hand to enjoy the evening.  The dancing was brilliant fun and the bar did a roaring trade especially on the soft drinks for the energetic dancers. 

The caller was his usual enthusiastic self and had many of the more reluctant dancers on the floor.  The BBQs ensured that everyone was well fed and a special thank you is due to the cooks and tenders of the fires. 

Sunday morning saw everything cleared up and put away.  Thank you to all those who continue to house the various bits of Friendly Society kit we used, especially Mick Fletcher, Malcolm Harding and Mike Love.  Thank you to Malcolm for providing the venue – it seems very appropriate to have a Barn Dance in a Barn!
