PAWS July – Orpheus & Meze

paws-july2012-2 paws-july2012-1

30 members and 10 visitors, 9 of whom were from Layer Ladies, joined us for our July meeting which  was also our special themed social night of the year. This year with it being the Olympics in London, we decided to go Greek. We were greeted on arrival with a glass of ouzo and, for the faint-hearted, a glass of home-made lemonade. After the very short formal part of the evening, we tucked into a Greek Meze, to the background music of Orpheus. Once we had eaten, the tables were cleared away to make room for Yanis to lead us in some very energetic dancing, which almost everyone joined in.

The music for this was provided by George on keyboard and, while we all took a rest from dancing, Yanis joined him with some very skilful playing on the Bouzouki. Most members dressed to match the Greek theme and, at the end of the evening, George awarded the prize for the best dressed lady to Sue Copeland.

It really was an excellent evening and it was such a shame that so many of the members missed out on it.

As we don’t have a meeting in August ur next get together is on September 25th when Dr. Maureen Scollen is our speaker and her subject is “Paragon or Prude.” Membership is currently full but visitors are welcome at a cost of £3.50.

Details of all our meetings and speakers can be found on the diary on the home page of the Winstred 100 website.  If you would like any further information about P.A.W.S. please ring any of us on the following numbers:  Alice Holmes 01206 735510, Jane Banks 01206 735004 or Jane Anderson on 01206 735505
