Spring Is Just Around The Corner (We Hope)



 
 

So it’s 2017 and we are up and running, looking forward to a great spring season.  (I say spring because I am hopeful the snow is gone – and I like the rain.)  We’ve got some great stuff coming up, so join us somewhere!
 

If you are looking for some DBD Plus Dancing thing about coming out to Royal Swingers on a Friday Evening, and don’t forget the covered parking – particularly on a day like today.
 

If any of you were considering our Canada/New England Cruise for this September now is the time to book.  The ship is almost full, but I do still have a few inside cabins in my block that are a really good price.  Let me know if you are interested.
 

Friday is the beginning of “birthday week” and for that I apologize, we don’t all enjoy our birthdays quite the same way Steve does. 
 
It's always more fun with a group, so think about joining us, but make sure you let me know if you're coming so we can include you in anything extra.

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

THIS SHIP 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.

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
