open meeting in Edinbugh

The aims and objects of the RSCDS are stated to be all about "Country
Dancing as danced in Scotland", which means a certain amount of
difficulty for anyone who would wish to alter that. I would love to
see the RSCDS paying some attention to the styles "BM" - Before
Milligan, and thus  before 1945. I like her strathspey particularly,
and would not wish to see it lost, but I also like the old style for
old dances. Monymusk is a fun dance at the old speed, but not as
enjoyable at the modern speed.
