Discover the gory facts and curious tools used in a time before anesthetics and antiseptics.  Meet Mr King, Crimean Surgeon RN, for an enlightening demonstration of the techniques in the theatre of war (not for the faint hearted).

Barn Dance/Ceilidh @ Highgate United Reformed Church
Feb 11 @ 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm

Make sure you keep the evening (from 7pm to 11pm)  of 11th February free in the your diaries for our amazing Barn Dance/Ceilidh hosted by the equally amazing Central London Outdoor Group – a not-for-profit group run for members by members – see our website:  Central London Outdoor Group.

A top live barn dance band (3 musician plus caller) band will be performing at this special event – The Wraggle Taggle Band. http://www.wraggletaggle.com/.

Never been to a barn dance before?  No problem – the caller will teach you everything you need to know.

The barn dance will be at a fab venue in Highgate with plenty of space for dancing, good acoustics and a separate lounge for when you want to sit out a dance but still watch the action.  We also get the use of a kitchen for food, drinks and snacks.   You can bring food and drink to share (like we do at picnics).

Ticket sales will be opening in January.  Tickets will be priced at the ridiculously low price of £13 per head (or £12 per head for members of the Central London Outdoor Group).

How to buy tickets?  See:  http://www.clog.org.uk/p/barn-dance.html

The total number of tickets will be capped at 70 to ensure there is plenty of space for dancing.
