Beginners' Workshop for Scottish Country Dancing
Hi there all
This is just a reminder about the Beginners' Workshop for Scottish Country Dancing which starts this Wednesday, 26th April 2023 at St Andrew's Church Hall (white church on the corner of Hamilton and Victoria Roads) starting at 7pm. Scottish Country Dancing has numerous health benefits (improved mental cognition, improved cardiovascular health, more flexibility with muscles, just to name a few). It can be likened to interval training where you have 2-3 minutes of good exercise and then you rest. More importantly, you are exercising without knowing it because you are having fun and making new life-long friends at the same time.
Please visit our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/CambridgeSCD) where you can see some examples of dancing and please don't hesitate to follow our page and share our posts. We really do want to grow our membership because not a lot of people actually know we do exist.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.9% ... It is complicated
