HLI Chronicle 1921 - The Royal Highland Fusiliers

114 WGHLAND LIGHT INFANTRY CHRONICLE.
Naturally, dancing was one of the things
much talked of, and an opening was made on
Friday, the 19th August. It may appear
rather early in the season to start dancing,
but'the idea was to give those who were not
fortunate enough to be able to dance, an
o.?portunity of learning. In spite of the
fact that it had not, perhaps, been advertised
aslmuch as it might, quite a good number
turned out. Everything went off Al to the
excellent music provided by Messrs. Geddes
and~Bennett, and everyone was enquiring
when the next one was to be held. Needless
to say, we have "carried on " every Friday
. since, and thanks are due to all those N.C.O.'s
and men who gave their assistance to make the
dances a success. We have been unfortunate
enough to lose our pianist-Corporal Bennett
-who was posted to the 1st Battalion a
short while ago, and we have to console ourselves
with the thought that our loss will be
their gain .. Meanwhile we are making progress.
It is hoped to be able to arrange a number of
concerts during the season, and no doubt
we [shall be able to persuade some of the
actors and actresses from the local halls to
come and assist us. However, that remains
to be seen yet.
