14th January 2026

On Wednesday 14th January, 45 Branch Members and guests were delighted to dance to the magical music of Ewan Galloway who travelled down from Edinburgh a few days early, prior to Mervyn Short’s weekend at the Ocean Beach Hotel. Two birthdays were celebrated so coffee and cake was the order of the day along with a hearty rendition of Happy Birthday! Many popular dances were included in the programme and a video of Farewell to Balfour Road can be seen if you click on the links below.
