BUCKS DISTRICT

March 2008 newsletter now available. This month's deliberate mistake in the printed version: Madeleine will not be doing clog dancing at the Tring Ball, but at the St Georges Day Dance!

Bucks District is an association of the Dance and Song Clubs in Buckinghamshire and surrounding area which are themselves connected in some way with the activities of the English Folk Dance and Song Society.  The District publishes a twice-yearly newsletter.

Events in the area include the District's own program of Saturday workshops and dances.

This year we say farewell to the Amersham Garland Dancers and have a chance to help with Water Aid.
