So what happened/happens at your church socials?

Ours used to be dominated by country dancing but not so here: here it was games one of which apparently involved sitting in a circle and winking at someone else (wink murde,r I think) but no ,the person winked at had to go and sit ion the knee of the winker! The 80+ gentleman who told me about this did say he couldn't remember how they got off your knee! One does have to worry abou the morals of this community!

We aslo had games but the country dancing was the highlight, especially as the lovely lady who used to organise it was a poor caller and so chaos followed. One Church conference the danc einvolved moving on to a new partner every so often but someone always seemed to end up with no partner so sat down. Gradually the numbers dwindled to just a few and the caller carried on oblivious whilst we all had a good laugh as we watched the farce continue.

One strange thing connected with country dancing though: I used to do it a school and sometimes we would go out and do demonstrations. One day, after I was maaried, I was looking at my husband's photos and discovered one of me, and others, dancing at a church fair - a member of the church was a teacher who had connections with my school. How's that - a photo of your future wife aged 9 or 10 when we didn't actually meet till I was 15 when I started going to his church!
