Come to the ceilidh, 8th Feb, Lymm

We're delighted to be playing a ceilidh at the LymmYouth & Community Centre in aid of the Helen Margaret Owen Foundation.

This is a very worthy cause, you can read all about it by clicking on the link.

Briefly, it supports The Kirinya Centre in Uganda which provides education and support for over 150 pupils and teachers in their nursery and primary school. It is currently taking care of more than 70 orphans. 

Tickets are available from lindsay@webbmail.org.uk  ...but be quick, tickets are selling fast!

LymmYouth and Community Centre is located on Bridgewater Street, Lymm WA13 0AB

New Year's Ceildh 2024

 

Our New Year's Eve ceilidh is fast approaching, and tickets are going well - there's no better way to welcome in the New Year than having a leap around to a fun and lively ceilidh!

If you're intending coming and haven't bought your tickets yet it's best you get your skates on.

Due to the size of the venue, ticket numbers are limited, and when they're gone they really are gone!

Order your tickets from https://wegottickets.com/event/638199

Please bring a generous contribution (enough for the size of your party) for the food share, sweet or savoury, up to you - it always works out well in the end!

You bring the food, we provide the cutlery & crockery.

Please don't bring your own drinks, there's a decent bar - and we really like to support the Morley Green Club.

So get your dancing shoes on - and let's dance in the New Year!

Last night's fun

A couple of HopGoblin members, very ably assisted by Rachel on whistles, Howard on percussion, and Ursula on Anglo concertina, played an early evening ceilidh for some youngsters in Moss Side, Manchester. 

 
We thought that Rob, as caller, would have his work cut out - many of our audience didn't have English as a first language. 

 
We needn't have worried, Rob, as ever the pro-caller, did a fine job - no doubt made easier by the enthusiasm of the dancers.

 
What a lovely, friendly audience we had - they had fun, we had fun: win-win!
