Uma Thurman - August 2006

ok bloggers get ur dancin shoes ready for the Flotta Shindig. A back to school dance to be held in the Community Centre on Friday 18th August starting at 8pm to raise funds for a new play park. A boat will leave Houton Talisman Pier (The green boat) at 7.30pm calling at Hoy then on to Flotta, after the usual dancing, stovies, soup and sandwiches, raffle and lots of fun the boat will return at 1.30am. Everybody welcome (including children) so dont be shy come along and take part in a traditional island Ceilidh. A new young Orkney band will be providing the music. Licenced bar till 1am.

Well a great nite was had by all who came along to our fund raising dance. The band were very good they still don't have a name yet but they are a young band who played well together and kept the dancers dancing. At half time the stovies and sandwiches were served up (excellent stovies Fiona) with tea and coffee. Ray did the raffle we had to speed him up a bit, he don't half talk alot. When that was all done it was time for the band and the dancing to start up again. At the end of the evening soup was served and time to go home. We raised just over £520 towards the fund and would like to say a big thank you to everyone that came along and help raise this amount. Also a big thank you to the committee for there help, Talisman for the boats and to those who helped with transport to/from the pier.
