Guest couples enjoy night of square dancing The Huron -Bruce Swingers played host to 10 guest couples at their regular Thurs- day evening dance, April 9. Most guests had little experience with modern square dancing but after a few words of instruc- tion from caller Lorne Lockrey, and a few walk-throughs, everybody was quite com- fortable dancing through six of the basic dance figures. Every other tip throughout the evening the club dancers would strut their stuff for their guests. Occasionally the club dancers demonstrated "Round Dancing" to their guests. This dance is done by individual couples dancing "round" the room to either a two-step or a waltz step. Similar to square dancing the round dance contains various combinations of basic figures and is "cued" by a round dance caller. A full evening of fun was enjoyed by members and guests and was followed by a, delicious lunch. The guests were invited to return in September for a series of classes to learn the basics. Anyone in- terested in attending these classes could call Don or Helen Gard at 524-7992. Council briefs • from page 5 cy for a possible grant. The grant request was originally made by play school representative Marilyn Murray at coun- cil's March meeting. Housing Survey Council received a letter from the Ministry of Housing stating the results of the housing study done for Lucknow senior citizens last fall have been completed. The deadline for applications for non-profit housing funding through the ministry is May 15. However, council felt it would be unable to meet the deadline for application and reasoned it had "too many things to do" this year.
