Callers Club 70th Weekend
Callers Club 70th Birthday Weekend. This event was organised by Callers Club UK to celebrate its 70th year since formation. It consisted of all levels of dancing from SSD through to A2 and Rounds. It was held at the Burgess Hall at the St Ives Leisure and Sports Centre, St Ives is located midway between Cambridge and Huntingdon. There were 3 halls in use, a large hall with a very nice wooden sprung floor, a smaller hall with a fixed wooden floor and a 3rd hall (the Black Hole) which was a drama hall completely painted in matt black walls, ceiling and black curtains with a grey vinyl type floor ( not as nice for dancing on). The callers were from all over the UK calling to all levels. Trevor and Di were both calling. Trevor & Chris were on the organising committee and made a great job of decorating the Black Hole with flags and hangings. The Dancing started at 16:30 on the Friday until 22:00. Saturday was all day from 10:30 until 22:00, and Sunday commenced 10:30 until 15:00. There were no fixed breaks so you had to pick your own time for tea breaks and meal times, the dancing continued without a break. There were restaurant and bar facilities in the venue all day. Participants from LVOW and Chain Reaction were as follows, Chris & Trevor, Di, Terry and Muriel, David & Marilyn, Tony & Ann, Jill and Alan, Norman & Ann , Darren & Aprille, Brian & Carol and our Netherlands friend Hannes de Nooijer who had just got off the ferry from Rotterdam and was en-route to his daughters in Preston at the end of the weekend. Everyone enjoyed the weekend immensely and our thank go out to the organising committee headed by Kevin Lovell who put in so much hard work to make this excellent weekend happen.

Picnic at Whins Brow
 
Brian and Carol hosted a picnic in their garden on Saturday 27 July.  The weather in the morning was not encouraging, with heavy rain in the area until midday.  However, Carol’s faith in the forecast was justified and it turned out to be a warm sunny afternoon with some of us seeking the shade. 
The afternoon was a great success, with 22  attending.  A plant sale raised over £100 for the Lune Valley charities and many took advantage of tours of the garden.  Ice creams were provided to help with the event and in recognition of the work Brian and Carol have done for Chain Reaction and Lune Valley.  The weather, garden and conversation were all enjoyed and some visitors stayed until after 5.30.
