Next Friday, 25th June, CLH will be holding a garden
party for CLH members! We’ll provide the barbecue, you bring the food.
Time and location are to follow, but put the date in your diary now. If you’re not a member, now is an excellent time, as membership is a wonderful £3/£4 and lasts until the end of October.
On Saturday 3rd July, come and spread the lindy love to people on the
streets of Cambridge. The plan is to enjoy some social dancing and
strolls (with a couple of troupe routines mixed in). Our slots are 2-3
pm at Peas Hill (side of the Guildhall) and 4-5 pm Quayside. Also,
there will be a party (with food, music and dance) for everyone
involved in the Buskers Festival on Saturday 3rd July from 6pm – late,
at The Cricketers, Melbourn Place, Cambridge. Do come along and join
it – it’s been great fun in previous years!
Sunday 11 July is the Heart of the World festival, “a city-wide event
raising the profile of world music and culture in Cambridge” and the
second day of the Big Weekend, all on Parkers Piece. The troupe will
be doing demos some time after 1pm, and there will be a flash mob that
everyone can join in with at 3pm. We have no idea what to expect but
have been told “you just need to turn up”. Sounds like fun! Who wants
to come along and see what happens?
As if that’s not enough, Jazz on Jesus Green is back, with bands
playing on Sunday 20th June, Sunday 8th August, and Sunday 29th
August. Come along with a picnic, for afternoons of chatting and
dancing!
Finally, on 1st July, registration for the hottest event of the year
will open: Cambridge Lindy Exchange 2010. Relaxed and friendly with
three brilliant bands and more cake than you can shake a stick at,
this weekend of dancing and socialising attracts dancers from all over
the world, and is not to be missed. There are only 100 places and they
sell fast so be ready to claim yours.
Last but not least, both the Speakeasy on Monday and Wednesday classes
will be continuing throughout the summer. Keep those Mondays and
Wednesdays free!
