This dance is dedicated to Sheila and John Findlay to celebrate the club’s summer party in their riverside garden in Wallingford, 1997. Unfortunately, it poured with rain on the chosen evening and we had to retreat to the Harwell Social Club. John and Sheila have since sold their sailing boat “Amapola” and bought a new boat. Dancing in Wallingford in 1998 will demand a new dance!
