Folk Dancing Party

The Buntingford Branch of the English Folk Dancing Society has made rapid progress in folk dancing.

On the 9th inst. the Branch had a party at the George Room, when folk dancers from Walkern and Great Munden were also present.

There was a capital programme of these graceful and pretty dances that all enjoyed. Quite a feature of the evening were the special dances by Mrs G. Armstrong and Miss Olive Poulton.

Songs, interspersed with the dances, gave additional pleasure, and were contributed by the Rev. A.G. Langdon, Mrs Hull, and Mr E.E. Dennis.

Country Dancing

The first of a series of meetings of the Buntingford Branch of the English Folk Dance Society was held at the George Hotel on Thursday evening of last week.

There was a good number present, and a company from Walkern came over to join in the evening's pleasure. Miss M. Macklin presided at the piano, and Mr E.E. Dennis made an efficient M.C.

Thanks to Mrs H.L. Baker (the hon. secretary) and Mrs M. Corp (hon. treasurer), the Buntingford branch of this popular society is on a very sound footing, and an attractive programme is promised for the coming season.

Miss G. Pugh, of Ardeley, is the efficient and popular instructress.
