Hi everybody,

Hope you are all well. I have three exciting developments to tell you
about, all coming up in the next week or so. Read on for more information.

First up we have a non-Ceilidhsoc event that I think everyone will be
interested in. This Friday, November 18th, we have the magnificent Glory
Strokes live in your town. The glam-rock-ceilidh band will be playing at
the Blind Institute on Mappin Street (the usual home of our ceilidhs) from
8pm until late. The are joined by the fantastic caller, Pete Rees.

The ceilidh is in support of the Sheffield Folk Festival, as a special
postscript to this year's festival, and a fundraiser for next year. If
you've not seen Glory Strokes before, see them now! An experience like no
other.

The ceilidh is 8pm til late, 6 pounds/4 for concession or Ceilidhsoc
members. See you there!

Then, the day after, Saturday November 19th, we have a very special and
exciting event for you. Ceilidhsoc presents a whole afternoon of dance and
fun! Here's how it breaks down:

First up, from 4pm: Workshops on all things ceilidh led by the wonderful 
Jenny Langridge!

For beginners and improvers, this is an opportunity to practice some
different dance moves, write your own dance, and even to learn to polka
without crashing.

After that, please bring food to share and eat. The tea will be a chance
to chat with people at the event, about dancing, ceilidhs and what ever
you like!

With what you have learned, party on into the ceilidh in the
evening...This will start at 8.30, and go on til late.

The workshop is free for all, what you eat and drink is up to you, and
then the ceilidh is normal CSoc rules.

This promises to be a great chance to learn a bit of background of the
dancing, so get yourself down there.

Now, all this talking about food and drink has made me decidedly hungry,
so now is a perfect opportunity to crowbar in mention of the Ceilidhsoc
Christmas meal!!

This is a chance to socialise and generally chat it up with your friends
in a relaxed atmosphere. Be you a fresher, or a seasoned hand, you are all
invited to join us.

Here is the full S.P.:

The Christmas meal is on Wednesday 23rd November (NEXT WEDNESDAY), at
ChaChas, 32 Bowdon Street, central Sheffield (just off the Moor,

). Please be there for 8pm. This is going to be a great night, but please,
if you do intend to come, please reply to this email to say so. It is
VITAL that we know who is coming, so please, get back to me with numbers.
Thanks so much, the restaurant serves an Indian buffet, by the way.

So much to look forward to, I need to have a lie down.

Any questions, just ask!

See you all soon,
