Dear Dancing Friends
What a fabulous Festival we have just had on the 13th July, to the music of Marian Anderson and her band. The weather stayed dry for us despite the forecast and we were able to enjoy dancing outside. The organising committee of the White Rose Festival would like to thank you all for coming and to invite you and your team of fellow dancers to take part in next year’s Festival.
Date: Saturday, 11th July 2020
Venue: The Gateways School , Harewood, Leeds , LS17 9LE
The music throughout will be provided by Susan Macfadyen and her band. The committee hopes very much that you will be able to join us and we look forward to seeing you dancing with us.
There will be a social dance to Susan Macfadyen and her band in the Sports Hall at Gateways School in the evening. Admission will be by ticket only, since the numbers that can be accommodated are limited.
