Malcolm Murdoch

Colin Delamore passed on news of the death of Malcolm Murdoch.

“I have the sad news that Malcolm passed away on 26^th May from cancer.There was a private service yesterday (11th June) and I was invited to a reception tea later that afternoon with the family. Malcolm was a member of WMM as well as London Folk, and I danced with him in both of those capacities. He was a qualified pilot and I flew with him many time including trips abroad.He was an very enjoyable man to be with and as I found out a very highly qualified engineer having graduated from Imperial College University with a First Class Honours degree in Mechanical Engineering. However he chose a career in computers at which he excelled.He married Margaret and they lived near me in Milton Keynes for some years before moving to a retirement village in Lemington Spa.Please pass this news to those who new him.”

Thank you, Colin Delamore

January practices 10th and 17th

Oh no, not again! Our first practice of 2024 should have been next Wednesday 10th January but we are having to cancel that because of the underground strike. We will be meeting on 17th January. New dancers always welcome. Here is a photo of Lewis and James with Letchworth at the Etcetera Morris New Year’s Day dance at the Wonder.
