During the weekend, the groups performed at the Saturday night
International Folk Dance and Ceilidh and the Sunday afternoon Folk
Dance Concert, as well as dancing in Bromley. We were again
welcomed to Emmanuel United Reformed Church, West Wickham for their
Sunday service, with dancing and coffee afterwards. We also made
sure that our visiting groups had time to visit London for sightseeing
and shopping.
Plans are underway for the 2011 Festival, to be held from 27th-30th May
2011. This will be our 30th Festival and we intend to celebrate
the occasion! We have Bitite and Auda dance groups from Latvia
confirmed for a return visit as well as our regular friends, Fiona Ray
School of Highland Dancing, the Upland Junior Dancers and the Epping
Forest Pipe Band.
