Last week, Checkers entertained everyone at dancing on Wednesday night and the crowd really enjoyed the evening. Next up is Pat Costello on Wednesday, May 28. A firm favourite with all our dancers. So, mark Wednesday night dancing 9pm to 11.30pm in your calendar. Complementary tea/coffee and sweet treat so come and join in the fun. Last Sunday, Jimmy Hogan and Lar Kenny kept the dancefloor hopping with a great afternoon full of great tunes. Next on the line-up is Philip English, on Sunday, June 1, who will no doubt entertain and draw a crowd. Sunday afternoon’s social dancing begins at 3pm and finishes at 6pm.
