Waikanae 50th Anniversary 2025
The Waikanae club celebrated its 50th Anniversary year at their annual dance on 9 August 2025 and also held a Pot Luck Luncheon for members past and present on 5 July 2025. The dance programme was drawn from favourites performed over the years, bringing together both old and new dances. A beautiful anniversary cake, baked and decorated by Annie Christie, was cut by long-time members Alex and Olive MacDonald alongside their granddaughters Katie and Emily, who have also danced with the club for many years.
A brief history of the Kapiti Scottish Dance Club was given at the dance – you can download it and read it at your leisure.
Summer Dancing 2025
Chris Totton again organised Summer Dancing in the Region. We kept the start time to 7:00 pm. Perfect
weather, very un-Wellington. Thanks to Chris, together with Isobel Harris Clark, Diane Bradshaw, and Joy Tracey, for taking these classes. We had about three sets per week and even some passing spectators joining in!
