The dance is dedicated to the N.H.S for their devoted work during Covid-19 and to Moira Fletcher a founder member of the Belfast Branch as she celebrated her 90th birthday. Moira, Ruth, Jenny, Tom and myself have all benefited from the wonderful invention of the pacemaker, and the professional skills of the NHS.
