Hi everyone, I currently have someone who lives in Pinner, London who is visiting Cape Town and is coming to our club. She was exposed to dancing in her youth and is keen to take it up again now that we have got her back on her feet. I was also running a ceilidh at a wedding on Saturday and one of the bridesmaids, out from Putney in London, was so enthusiastic about the experience that she also wants to get involved back in London. I promised to let them know their nearest SCD club. Can anyone help me? I am not sure of the geography to be able to pin down the nearest. The name of the most convenient club and an address or contact name and number would be great. Campbell Tyler Cape Town

Unfortunately my geographical knowledge of London is not that good and so I am not sure which of the clubs listed would be close to Pinner and Putney respectively. Also which might be more conducive to a recent convert. Campbell Tyler Cape Town

Thank you very much Graham. I will give her your details, her first name is Maggie. Now anyone for Putney? Campbell Tyler
Hi Campbell, >> Now anyone for Putney? There is an RSCDS beginners/elementary class which sounds just the job for your friend to start off with. Wednesday evenings in Sloane Avenue, London SW3. More details here - http://www.rscdslondon.org.uk/html/elementary.html There are several other SCD groups in the area - these are clubs rather than classes and would cater for all abilities so I don't know if they teach the basics... It depends what you friend is looking for, really. The nearest one would be the Sheen SCD group on Wednesday evenings in East Sheen. There is also the Chiswick SCD club which meets in Turnham Green on Sunday evenings, and a group in Balham on Tuesday evenings. Contact details for these as well as all the other groups in and around London are here - http://www.rscdslondon.org.uk/061127ClassesList2006_7.pdf Hope this helps, Jan Beaconsfield, UK RSCDS London Branch
Thank you Graham Hamilton and Jan Rudge for giving me the extra information I needed. I hope both people turn out to be long-term dancers and are an asset to whichever group they join. This ability to refer dancers elsewhere is in itself sufficient reason to be part of Strathspey. Thanks to all. Campbell Tyler Cape Town
