Our new venue at Southmead Community Centre

Bristol Irish Set Dancing Club is moving!

From Sunday 21st December the class will meet at Southmead Community Centre, Greystoke Avenue, Southmead, Bristol BS10 6BQ, every Sunday at the earlier time of 8 pm.

The Christmas ceili on Sunday 14th December (from 7.30 pm) will be the last time we meet at St Bonaventure's Parish Hall.

The new hall is very good, with a nice floor, a bar, and a car park. It is also accessible by bus - number 2 from Temple Meads via Henleaze, or number 76 from Hengrove via the centre and Gloucester Road.

To celebrate the move, the first class at the new venue, on 21st December, will be free!

Autumn Ceili at St Bon's

Last night's ceili was great fun, with excellent music from the Polka Pests (who will also be playing for our Christmas ceili on December 14th), lovely dancing and scrumptious food.

Thanks to all who came along and helped to make it go with a swing.

The raffle, in aid of Parkinson's UK, included as prizes wine, chocolates and a voucher for the pub/ restaurant The Gloucester Old Spot on Kellaway Avenue. Ticket sales made £88.

Please note that there will be no bar at St Bon's for this event, so bring your own drinks.

Also next Sunday, 6th July at 8 pm there is a traditional Irish concert at the Gloucester Irish Centre. See their Facebook page for details.

Easter Sunday dancing

There's dancing at Colyford in the afternoon (see "other local groups") and also at St Bon's in Bristol in the evening .

Lots of great dancing over the St Pat's weekend! At the ceili on March 16th at St Bon's £89 was raised in the raffle, and given to the local branch of Parkinson's UK.

Today is Tom Dee's 80th birthday!

Last Sunday Barbara brought in a cake and we all sang Happy Birthday to this marvellous guy who still dances like a spring chicken.
