The Scottish Country Dance group meets in the Loch Torridon Community Centre each Tuesday at 7.30 pm from October 2012 until Easter 2013. Classes for beginners are usually held at 7 pm each Tuesday.
New members welcome – please contact Marie Macdonald on 01445 791264. Costs are £3 per night. Visitors are also welcome to join us, provided they have some knowledge of Scottish Country dancing.
At the end of each winter session we get together with the group from Gairloch for an evening of dancing, with a buffet provided by the hosts for that year.
Other dances will be danced throughout the session.
The Torridon Country Dancing group was started in 1973, and is affiliated to the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society. Our branch is Inverness. Country dancing is good for the body and mind. It has proven to be one of the best aerobic exercises, and the memorising of formations is also good for the brain.
This is a social class and we welcome all new dancers. Why don’t you come along and give it a try.
Strupag is Gaelic for a cup of tea.
This is fortnightly on a Friday from 12.00 until 14.00 and our team of “girls” provide homemade soups, a selection of freshly made sandwiches, delicious home baking and much more… but if you are counting the calories there is fruit salad available and yogurts. You can eat as much or as little as you like for a minimum donation of £4.50.
Whist Drives are social evenings open to players of all abilities, both local residents and visitors. We play progressive whist where after each hand individuals move on to new tables – never playing with the same partner twice in a row. Prizes are awarded at the end of the evening to the players with the highest (and lowest!) scores.
Halfway through the evening we partake of refreshments – tea or coffee, sandwiches and cakes. We also hold a raffle.
The evening is always good fun. There is a £2 entry charge and the proceeds go to a variety of different causes through the season.
BAR
During the winter months the Bar will be open occasionally for Social Nights.
Join us at the Community Centre in the Function Room. The bar will be open from 7 – 11pm and we look forward to seeing locals and visitors alike. Look out for forthcoming events.
Friday 15th February, saw musicians Les & Andy playing a stonking set to locals and visitors.
Craft Workshops are held on the second Monday of each month.
There are approx 20 ladies attending from all over the area including Gairloch.
We started out as a patchwork workshop which was so popular it now offers a range of different crafts. These vary on any given day but include: soft furnishing, dressmaking, fabric painting, bags, parchment craft, sugar craft, beadwork, crochet, water colour painting and any other skill that members of the group want to share.
New members do not need to have any skills at all, only a desire to find out more or share craft knowledge. All materials can be provided free.
The day is extremely sociable and costs just £5 including lunch.
Holiday makers are very welcome to join us for the day.
