Hi Everyone

 Wow what a hectic few weeks, with workshops, two great weekends Hep Cats & a teaching at the Jump Jive and Boogie in Bournemouth.
 We had a great time teaching Partner Charleston at Swing-Rave Easter Sunday and we have some great stuff for our 4 hour workshop on the 19th April. 
 Because of clash of interests we have changed our Improvers Lindy Hop Workshop on Sunday 3rd May, we will now be teaching The Shim Sham & Jitterbug Stroll as so many new folks wish to learn these great Jazz dances!
 Apologies to our Risby group, that we have CANCELLED our Rhythm Joint planned for 23rd May unfortunately planning ahead doesn't always work out.
 However there is loads of great events coming up for you all, we have The ever happy band the Ding Dong Daddios on 9th May at Biggleswade, The Last Chance Ragtime Band on 13th June At Steeple Morden, Si Cranstoun on 4th September at Risby & Laura B on 10th October at Biggleswade.
 Occasionally Events clash please be aware some of our dance nights are planned a year in advance so we hope that others don't clash with our dates, also a lot of effort, organisation and cost go into band nights and Record Hops & often we are lucky if we cover the band fees and hall cost without the hours of setting up and DJing the event ourselves. Please do support them; after all you want somewhere to go out dancing don't you?
 Well that my Waffle & little dig, do join us soon!
  Debbie
