The Organizers:
This dance week was run for 4 years as a not-for-profit venture
by members of the Norfolk, Virginia contradance community with Nigel
Clarke of
the King's School, Ely joining us and handling registration and local
arrangements
in the last year. We did not run the event in 2008 due to the
recession, and did not run it in 2009 due to construction at the
venue. We have many years of experience between us
dancing, calling, playing and organizing local dances and major
events. We
ran highly successful dance weeks in Ely in April 2004 with Nightingale
and Cis
Hinkle calling, in 2005 with Wild Asparagus and George Marshall
calling, and
in 2006 and 2007 with Airdance and Lisa Greenleaf calling.
This year we have a Transatlantic Committee. Gwyn & Jennifer
Williams, and Leon Clancy,
who are responsible for making arrangements with the performers and for
publicity, are being joined by Ros Batchelor from York, England, aided
by
husband John. Both are keen dancers from the UK, and in
particular will be taking the lead for the event. They will add their
local knowledge
and expertise and make the week even more of a treat!!
Additional
local help will come from Adam Hughes, Ruth Hawksley and Peter
Giles. We
are also always available and eager to answer your questions either by
phone
or by e-mail.
In England we are joined by many friends and volunteers who heartily
welcome
this group to their beautiful City of Ely and lend rich local
knowledge. The
title "City" in the UK is used for any town with a cathedral.
