The Singing for Pleasure, Ballroom and Latin, and Modern Jive groups would love to have more men join them. (Women are still welcome to join!)
Signing Up for Groups/Waiting Lists/Leaving Groups
Please contact Paula, groups co-ordinator, if you are interested in joining any of our existing groups. Even better, come along to our monthly meetings where you will be able to talk to some of our convenors and find out more about their groups. More than half of the existing groups currently have space for new members.
Even for groups that are full it is worth putting your name on waiting lists. When spaces become available they are offered to people on waiting lists first. If you don’t register your interest, you could miss out!
If you have signed up for a group that you can no longer attend, please let your group convenor know so that the space can be allocated to someone on the waiting list.
