UPDATED NEWS……..
Well, time to catch up after a weeks break in Cornwall with two performances to report on. At the Strawberry Special, Draycott, there was a very appreciative and knowledgeable audience ranging through the age spectrum who were thoroughly entertained by a very proficient Chalice team. Again a very strong performance at The Criterion, Weston-super-Mare gave the audience a display of one of Englands finest traditions with wonderful dancing and excellent musicianship. Congrats to all. Photos of both days are in the gallery now.
Two weeks of dancing left, including a trip to Glastonbury and what normally turns out to be a spectacular season finale at The Old Kings Head, Worle. More information to come! There may be a final chance to see Somerset’s finest in Burnham on Sea on 30th August but this will be confirmed asap.
Chalice thoroughly enjoyed the Day of Dance with Lyme Morris on Saturday 11th July, with remarks ranging from….“You were the side of day”….”Cotswold danced as it should be”….. comments the team should be proud of. A photographic diary of the day is now visible if you follow the link in the menu on the right.
