During the second half, this well-organised band performed Jean Peyronnin’s Marche Aux Etoiles (March to the Stars), as a Boston Two-Step, which was well received by the club’s attentive audience.
As always, thanks to the ladies who provided the half time buffet and to Andrew Barrie on the bar. On Sunday, March 8, the club will meet again at Biggar Bowling Club at 2pm with guests Rory Matheson and his Scottish Dance Band from Glasgow.
