Day of dance at Bourton on the water Saturday 2nd June 2007

On a bright, sunny Saturday at the beginning of June the Cotswold town of Bourton on the Water played host to Masons Apron’s annual day of dance. We were joined this year by sides from near and far and it was great to see many old friends as well as meet new ones.  After such a wet weekend over the bank holiday on the previous weekend there was a real holiday mood with many visitors stopping to watch and ask about the types of dancing. There were all types of dance styles represented from rapper, step clog and Appalachian to north west clog and Cotswold of course.
Dance spots were all close to each other and we would like to thank in particular the Duke of Wellington, The Manse and the Kingsbridge for allowing us to dance on their sites.
One of the highlights of the day is the time to stop and chat at the end over a cup of tea try not to eat too much cake. At the beginning of the day there was a slight worry that there might not be enough cake but fortunately there was plenty to go round. As usual we collected for a charity through out the day and there was really positive response from the audience that the money was going to a worthwhile cause. We look forward to next year’s day of dance and welcoming everyone again.  

See you all next year. Thank you Lesley
