Hello dance friends Again just before Christmas, it seems to become more or less tradition, I can mail you this years issue of the European Newsletter. The same opening as last year but fortunately different contents. A number of changes in the boards of the associations resulting in other names filling our Newsletter. Together with a good crowd of square and round dancers we enjoyed the European convention in Karlstad. In my view a fine event with a perfect organization. This includes the Saturday night show with a good recognizable reference to all the participating countries. Lots of work to set this up, but rewarded with a excellent performance. We have had a great time there. Up to the next convention but where and when… Time, as always, will tell us. A lot has happened in our dance world and part of this you will find in this letter. I am very happy to have a contribution from France where square dancing is growing fast. This time no input from the CSCTA due to unexpected circumstances, but hopefully only this time. I thank all writers for their time and work on it and hope that you will find reading this issue interesting. Both Corry and I wish you all a very nice Christmastime and a great 2011 to enjoy in good health. May the number of dancers increase.
