Unless otherwise stated, all events take place in St Mark's Church Hall, Church Hill Road, Surbiton.

The first night of our new season - 11th September - is just before  Dance Scottish Week.  There is a list on the website of the London Branch of the RSCDS giving details of all the Dance Scottish Week events in the South-East during the period from 12th to 20th September.

Special Evenings - Apart from the 60th Anniversary Dance and our annual Burns' Night Dinner Dance held in January each, these evenings (described below) cost £2.00 per person plus a Canadian supper (in other words we all bring some food to share and the Society adds the wine to keep our spirits high).  But we still manage to pack in 12 or more dances into the evening.

Anniversary Dance

2007/08 marks the Society's Diamond Jubilee. We are holding a 60th Anniversary Dance on Saturday, 27 September, 2008, dancing to the marvellous music of Dave Hall and his Scottish Country Dance Band at Tolworth Girls' School to mark the occasion.  Details

St Andrew's Evening
27th November, 2008.  As the long nights set in, come and be cheered up with a special party (photos) with some Scottish (and other) delicacies and a dance programme featuring some St Andrews connections (for instance the Saltire Society Reel - the Saltire being another name for the St Andrew's Cross national flag). 

New Year Party
1st January, 2009. We can expect lots of visitors as many other clubs close down over the Christmas period.  But like the old Windmill Theatre, we never close (well almost never - we do have a summer break).  Have a look at the photogallery.

Burns' Supper (Dinner and Dancing)
Our annual celebration of the birthday of Scotland's bard will be held in Claygate village hall on Friday, 23rd January, 2009.  The event in January, 2008 was as usual a sell-out with 88 members, guests and visitors from a number of local clubs attending.  (Photos)  The haggis was piped in by Stewart Murray and toasted by Ewan Mackay.  Rosemary Sloggett's brother, Ross, gave us a fantastic immortal memory and proposed the toast to the lasses.  We have a selection of photos from previous event in the Members' page.      

Spring Event (26th March, 2009)  

We all get dressed up a bit to welcome in the Spring.  

Anyone can be an MC (date to be announced)

A group of our members take over the role of MC in turn by talking us through the "walkthroughs" of their favourite dances.   

Annual General Meeting
This will be held on 14th May, 2009 at 8:00 pm and followed by a slightly curtailed general dancing session.

End-of-Season Party (18th June 2009)

Get dressed up and come and celebrate another year of fun and frolics.    As with any other of our special events, Non-Members are welcome.

Request a Dance

We have not yet decided on the date for this evening, when the programme is based on requests from the members.  There is sure to be lots of dancing and given the familiarity of many of the dances, we will have shorter walkthroughs.  If you have a favourite dance that you would like us to do at one of our weekly sessions, then don't be shy!  Tell our secretary, David Horwill.

Tuition Sessions
On certain evenings, and in particular when Jim Cook is our MC, we spend a bit more time on tuition.
