One man's meat ...

I would be VERY reluctant to drop in on English or contra dance and would
have NO hesitation in joining any SCD event anywhere in the world.

At this point I would like to thank very much the dance groups in New Zealand
who welcomed me when I toured their country with kilt and ghillies in
February 1993. Especially the groups in Christchurch and Wanganui (have I
spellt that correctly?) who couldn't have been more welcoming. So if anyone
on this net is a member of or knows these groups - thanks again!
