Events

We organise social dances each year which are open to all.

Our main dance takes place in February with a live band.

There is also an end of season dance in June/July and a New Year’s Eve Dance which is open to all.

Other Dances are organised by other clubs in the area or by SASS (Sussex Association of Scottish Societies).
