And It's September....



 

 
And it’s September…I always look forward to the summer and am ready for a break, but by the end of August I need my routine back and look forward to that as much as I looked forward to the summer.  Steve and I seemed to have a busy, busy summer...so maybe we need the routine back so we can rest up. 

Chase and Nanaimo were great square dance weekends and we’d like to thank all of you who joined us on those weekends.  We enjoyed it so much – we’re doing it again next year! 

We had a great turnout at the Abbotsford Grand Squares Sunday Dancing – so again thanks to everyone who came out. 

At the end of July we headed off to Regina, for the Canadian National – congratulations to Saskatchewan for a very successful convention.  It’s always nice to see so many dancing friends from everywhere under one roof.  Penticton is always our vacation (with some dancing thrown in).  The weather was warm and sunny and we had a great time visiting with so many friends, float the channell and play a little golf too!

Our Circle 8 Ranch weekend “Hot August Nights” with Steve Noseck and Paul and Debbie Taylor was a huge success and we are so thankful to all of those who came and joined us, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

September 10-24, 2017 – Canada/New England Cruise

THIS CRUISE IS ALMOST SOLD OUT.   IF YOU WERE THINKING OF JOINING US – GET IN TOUCH WITH ME BEFORE IT’S COMPLETELY SOLD OUT.

 
Our next big group trip will be a 14 Day Cruise through New England and Eastern Canada on Celebrity Cruise Lines.

The Celebrity Summit is a perfect sized ship for a group, with just slightly over 2000 passengers, it is easy to run into your travel companions for a visit, or a drink, or a meal.

We have confirmed dancing space and times for our sea days. We will be dancing in the mornings in the beautiful Revelations Lounge at the very front of the ship.  It has a large dance floor that will be just perfect for us.  Think about joining us! 

We will be having the 6:00 dinner seating with Round Robin seating (which means you can sit at different tables with different members of our group each night, you won’t be restricted to the same table and the same people).  Dining like this is a great way to get to know everyone you are travelling with. 

Remember the sooner you book, the better the pricing – this cruise only goes 3 times in the fall and fills up quickly – book sooner rather than later for the best pricing, the best choice in cabins.  Deposit is 100% refundable until June 2017.

 

Our Bus Trip to the Royal Romp in November is filling up quickly – if you want to join us, make sure we get your name as we only have room left for 4 couples (we are limited by bus space and hotel rooms available – don’t miss out).

 
 

Please remember, if you're going to one of these dances, especially the out of town ones, send us a quick note or mention it to me (not Steve) so we know you're coming.  That way if we plan anything other than the dance, we will be sure to include you.

 

I send out an email with information just like this about once a month, if you would like to receive my email, give me (again me, not Steve) your email address and I will add you to my list. 

 

Follow Steve on Facebook J

Thanks

Circle 8 Ranch – August 18-20, 2017 – Steve Edlund, Steve Noseck and Debbie & Paul Taylor

This is truly one of our favourite places to go for a square dance weekend.  It’s located in the mountains east of Seattle, and while sometimes the day is warm, the nights are perfect for dancing.  Beautiful spots to put your RV in the meadow with water and electricity available.  Cle Elum and the hotels and motels are just a few miles down the road.  This is our 30th year calling at Circle 8 Ranch and Steve is looking forward to sharing the program with our good friend Steve Noseck.  We’ve been fortunate to share the program with so many good friends over the years
