Activities |
This page gives a summary of what we do, with further details on other pages.
A complete list of events is on the Calendar page.
We hold two formal functions each year:
| St Andrew's Lunch | Last Friday in November | ||
| Burns Dinner | Last Saturday in January |
Details are on the Functions page.
There is also a more informal event in late September to replace the President's Reception which is no longer held.
There is a thriving INFORMAL Scottish Dance Class, held in Allestree most Monday evenings from September to June. Everyone is welcome, no previous experience needed. We hold party evenings for End of Season and Christmas in June and December.
We also hold a main dance each year, the Tartan Dance, with a band, on a Saturday afternoon at the end of February, at the same venue in Allestree.
See our Dance Class website for further information.
Although we no longer run a formal demonstration team (pictured below at the ASCDS Festival in 2016), we would be happy to provide a display of dancing for local groups and social events.
Walks take place each month, on the third Sunday morning of odd numbered months and the third Wednesday morning of even numbered months.
Typically around 5 miles, and usually followed by lunch in a pub or similar.
See the Walks page for details.
We hold talks, or similar events, a few times a year in Mickleover; these are in the morning and followed by a lunch.
See the Talks page for details.
Other occasional events are organised and run on a more informal basis.
