Finally an apology we were under time pressures to vacate the hall by midnight and thie meant an 11pm end. I regret stopping the party early particularly when so many wanted to continue. Next time, yes there will be another chance to Dance Round Your Handbag we will try and seek an extension and make everyone aware of the start and end times.

Sorry and thanks again for your support.

Terry Forsey
Chairman
