Surbiton and District Caledonian Society
Welcome to our website!

We are the Surbiton and District Caledonian Society.

Would you like to come and join us for some Scottish Country Dancing?

We meet every Thursday from early September until the end of June (except on 24th January, 2008 - the evening before our Burns' Supper - see the calendar page).
Our Thursday evenings are from 8:00 to 10:30 pm in St Marks Church Hall,  Church Hill Road, Surbiton  (map).  The hall has a car park and there is plenty of additional parking places on the road.
We dance Jigs, Reels, Strathspeys and have Fun!  Our motto - in Latin and Gaelic - means "Joy through Dancing" and that pretty well sums up what we get from our Thursday nights.

Apart from the sheer enjoyment, Scottish Country Dancing also stimulates the little grey cells and keeps you fit!

Our club is very friendly and informal - and newcomers are made especially welcome.

You don't need a kilt, a partner or experience and you do not have to be Scottish
(though we suggest you bring a pair of soft shoes).

If you want to contact us or find out more about what we do, click here or on the About Us link or the other Navigation Bar links on the left.

Questionnaire

In August 2006 , we sent all Members a questionnaire with the Chairman's annual letter in order to get some feedback about what we are, and should be, doing.  You can now download a summary of the results of the questionnaire.  It makes very interesting reading!  If you have comments on it, feel free to contact the webmaster who will pass them on to the management committee. 

Rating the Dances

One of the bits of feedback from the questionnaire was that members would like to be able to rate the dances they have just done.  We now do this each week.

The Members' Page also shows what the Society or some of its members have been up to in the past year or so.  We invite all members with anything they would like to share with other members or the world at large (eg photographs, comments, reports on visits to other groups etc) to send or give relevant text and photos (digital or hard copy) to Stewart, also know as the webmaster.

2007/08 marks the Society's Diamond Jubilee. We will be having a special ball on 27 September, 2008 to mark this anniversary .   Watch this space for more details.

 

Demonstration Team 

The Demonstration Team gave a display of some typical dances at the Malden Bowls Club on Friday, 3rd February 2006 (Photos).  If you would like us to perform for you, please contact our club secretary, by email David Horwill or telephone (01932 784 866).
