[Andrew Findlay]

London Barndance starts in about an hour - we will open the virtual
doors at 19:50 BST (London time).

Caller: Geoff Cubitt

We have live music and call again this month - in fact there
will be even more music than usual and a song or two!

The video will be musical, from Audrey Knuth's Tunes 'n Stuff group.

Zoom:

You need Zoom to join the event. Here are the details. Feel free to pass
this on to people you know, but please don't post it on social media
or other public sites (we don't want to get found by the Zoom-bombers):

The Tip Jar:

Most bands and callers have had no gig income since March 2020.
We would very much like to pass some money to our performers, so
please contribute to the tip-jar:

Local parties:

One or two groups plan to meet in parks or gardens to dance 'together'
(or at least nearby...) this needs a bit of planning and we have
collected some ideas to help. See the "Hybrid LBC Ideas" link at the
bottom of our Virtual Dances page:

https://www.barndance.org/virtual.html

Geoff has chosen dances that will work for small groups as well as for
people alone at home.


See you soon!
