Ruby Anniversary

Hello Kay & Eric,
Your email sent me scurrying back to my books and yes I have credited
this dance in Minicrib incorrectly, the 4x32 bar dance crib in my
notes was devised by Margaret Waddell for the 40th anniversary of the
Duns and District Branch in 1993.
The dance in the Croydon Anniversary book is a 4x48 bar dance and was
devised by Barbara Barnes for Croydon Ruby Anniversary The Croydon
book was published in 1994 though I think their Ruby Anniversary was
1993.
I will correct my notes and will also add the Croydon version - I have
yet to decide which one to call version 1 as they have the same title!
I have copies of both of these dance instructions and will be pleased
to forward copies to any interested dancers on request.
