Hi, As a newbie to SCD, it has taken vast amounts of determination and fortitude to overcome the RSCDS's elitist (sorry guys) attitude w.r.t. cribs and/or briefings. I find this somewhat confusing: the RSCDS rolls aren't in great shape and yet making life easier for us newcomers doesn't seem a high priority! It is definitely the case that some of our group (Beginners) fight shy of attending balls/dances due directly to this lack (although our wonderful teacher does help).

So keep up the good work and the devil take the hindmost. I might add that every single dance at St Andrew's Summer School this year was briefed just beforehand irrespective of difficulty level, and cribs for all the dances were handed out at the beginning of the week. Perhaps change is on the way ... Donna Cambridge, UK
