Edward,

I did warn readers that I copied the article as written. Your group's name 
was not the only error - the most glaring was the mis-naming of the "Royal 
Scottish Country Dancing Society", and someone else pointed out that a URL 
was mis-spelled as well. However, the article was good publicity for SCD in 
general, and made the point that the reason it is so popular is that it is 
such enormous fun.

Your explanation of dancing 'Aberdonian' was much clearer than mine. Other 
Strathspeyers will understand how I get in such a muddle if I don't entirely 
understand the method myself <grin>

As I think I pointed out at in my copy, Mark Palmer's item was in last 
Thursday's issue of Country Life, so you'll need to order a back-issue from 
your newsagent.
