This year it had been decided to break with tradition and the Ceilidh was held in Toby’s Bar in Jordanhill College.

I for one was fascinated to see how it would all work out and was pleased to see that it turned out a great success.

The dance area was perhaps a bit snug but it was separate from the cosy seating area around the bar and this seemed to give a lot more opportunity for people to chat and catch up.

This was just as well as it was very well attended and there were folk from far and wide coming from Aberdeen, Edinburgh and beyond!

It didn’t put anybody off dancing though as, from the first, the floor was crammed - every dance was fast and furious apart from the tricky ones that Harrold was allowed to torture us with!

The music was laid on by the "Reel Thing" – always guaranteed to get the feet tapping.

The promised pool table was there but unavailable we were told – however only until "Big Dave" (Webster) stepped in with an offer they couldn’t refuse – after that "happy teenagers"!

Once again it all flew by so quickly it seemed to finish all to early!

One downside I thought was the buffet which didn’t really compare to the usual ramshackle but delightfully exotic homemade offerings that we have been used to in the past.

However all in all a brilliant night enjoyed by all in a great new location – a pointer to the future.
