Our Club was founded by Terry Pine in the Autumn of 1989. At that time Terry had recently been graduated at Mainstream level and had a vision that he wanted to share this good-time feeling with others. So he persuaded some of his family and friends to give him their support.
He bought a few records and some kit, hired a hall and placed an ad in the local paper inviting people to come and learn square dancing. Much to his surprise the response was good. The rest, as they say, is history...
Since those early awkward days in that cold damp hall, many hundreds of people have passed this way, most having been taught Square Dancing by Terry. The club now meets two evenings a week in a warm, bright hall.
One of the strongest traditions within the club is that so many of us love to travel to other dances, big and small, simply to enjoy square dancing and to meet friends, old and new.
Over a period of nearly 30 years members have danced in many parts of the UK including, Torquay, Isle of Wight, Hemel Hempstead, Birmingham, Southampton and many others. Abroad the club has danced in Germany, Spain, America, Canada and France as well as on cruises. Wherever we go we always find a warm welcome and a chance to meet old friends once again as well as make new ones.
