Saturday 28th November 2009 with caller Charles Haskell Dear Woodsiders,
Thank you for the fantastic ceilidh you gave us at the Marriott hotel in Bournemouth last Saturday. It was hugely enjoyed by all and it was a great testimony to yourselves that so many people got up and danced. Many of the guests did not know each other and the way everyone was brought together on the dance floor was really good. We have received many compliments on your behalf since and loads of photo's of everyone having lots of fun. A special thanks to Charles who did an amazing job as the caller.
We'd certainly recommend you to anyone interested in having a ceilidh.
Thanks once again.
All the best, Ray Naicker & David Maxwell Saturday 24th October 2009 with caller Mike Whitford Hi
