A DRY forecst for travel to and from this dance. Warmer than average for a bus wait !

 Afternoon dances, for some with a long journey to the Brummie Contras, mean easier travel when evenings are dark.
Our dances from November through to January are mainly on Sunday afternoons.

- Enjoyed your Christmas -
NOW THIS SUNDAY 29th December
- Your Brummie Contra -

RELAX after travel. An inclusive hot drink & biscuits from 2.10. YES and many
thanks usually, to Jim & Jackie. But - since I have moved this to Sun 29th (to allow some working on Friday 27th to come) - we miss these - our most loyal attenders. May they thoroughly enjoy celebrating a Hogmanay holiday in the Scottish snow ! At Brummie Contras, they have maintained a completely continuous (and unswervingly helpful presence) since we began at the Chaplaincy. My apology to everyone for this unintentional exclusion. Diana Price will kindly host your early arrival with a welcome this time, and a HOT DRINK at Bournville.

Bill

-  A few words of thoughtful appreciation -
For the first two years of our annual final fling, Bill Kinsman
was 91: then 92 years of age. Bill called superbly : mainly from memory, in his characteristic, enjoyable and relaxed manner -
- for us, near the end of his many years of much loved calling.

In 2018, Bill was drastically debilitated by stroke.
Sadly he died earlier this month.
Bill's church service and wake were on Friday of last week.
- May we long retain the happy memories we have of Bill. -
For Brummie Contras, he was our oldest caller.
Yet Bill was young at heart and always his calling was excellent,
and brimming with Bill's infectiously joyous personality.

- Brummie Contras -
-2019 December -Had superb beginning on 1st -A talented calling delivery from Rhianwen Davies (now from Cambridge)-
-   to the wonderfully memorable contra tunes of Linda and Gareth of ECDB.  -
-  Kim's Xmas Party, our last dance, was fun and delightful as ever with a particularly brilliant selection from Kim  -
-   to lovely seasonal playing from Karen & David (with excellent music).  -
