Swinging B's 50th Anniversary26/03/30
Great Turnout for the Swinging B's 50th Anniversary
A great turnout for the 50th Anniversary dance that was held by the Swinging B's on March 6, 2026. They had 109 dancers dosado'ing the afternoon away and enjoying a fulfilling hot & cold buffet supper. The club honored their eldest member, Bill Shield, 92 years young, and their longest serving members Carol & Bob Milne, with certificates.
There were 6 Gift Baskets containing items donated by members, plus a beautiful hand-made quilt made by Barb & Bob Mazerolle. Dave Hutchison called, assisted by Mary. During breaks, Dave visited each table to welcome people.
Local papers (Seaway News and Local Seeker) covered the event, taking pictures and preparing write-ups for publication.

Get Out and Visit24/02/13
February is Visit Month!
OK, OK ... I made that up. But take a look around you at your club. Where are the people? The snow birds have already left, others are taking a well-deserved 2 week vacations in the sun and the cold season has reduced attendance even more.
Some smaller clubs will find it hard to form two squares ... or sometimes even one square. You know what's better than having 6 or 7 dancers sitting out during a tip? YOU! Yes you ... visiting a club could perhaps be what's needed to complete a full square. 
So don't make a liar out of me. Let's make February your time to visit another club. Phone ahead or just drop in. They'll be happy to see you and you'll be glad you did.
Any questions? ... shouldn't be. Just get out and visit!
Square Dancing is Fun
