After six years of tireless
organising Andrew Bodey has retired from running Highside Folk Dance
Club. The mantle of organiser in chief has passed to one of our
Highside regulars, Tessa Goldsmith, who wrote:
"New dancers are
always welcome, and you don't need to have a partner....just turn
up! Many many thanks to Andrew for organising six years of Friday
evening dancing. I'll do my best to keep up his high standards -
and I'm sure he'll be there to keep a watchful eye on proceedings."
"Thanks for your
support for my first go at organising the list - the evenings (apart
from the snowy one!) have been well-attended and great fun, with
some lovely dances. We are incredibly lucky to have so many good
musicians to turn up to play for us, and such a variety of callers.
The new programme looks just as good."
Please
remember to park with consideration for the residents of Galphay.
Thank you.

Parking at Highside
Dear Highsiders,
Please could I remind you about parking at
the Club. As you know, parking is not plentiful in Galphay, and unfortunately
our popularity within the hall isn't always matched without! To harmonise
better with our neighbours in Galphay, please remember to:
- Not block any driveway, but especially
the gateway and cattlegrid leading to Braithwaite Hall on the sharp
corner (as you leave Galphay) (this is a listed building with no other
access, and also an access point for 7 working farms, which we have
managed to block on a number of occasions. Amongst other things the
owners are understandably concerned about fire-engine access in the
very unlikely event of an emergency).
- Not park on verges
- Not park too close to the sharp corner
(as you leave Galphay), to give room to other road users to get around
it safely.
Instead, if necessary please spread out the
parking further down into the village, but without filling the Galphay
Arms car park when the pub is open.
The Hall Committee are sufficiently anxious
about this problem that, although they wish to encourage use of the hall,
they may consider declining future bookings from us.
Thank you very much for your understanding
and cooperation. Best wishes, Andrew Bodey
