Couple of addendums to my lengthy witter above:

1) Should also have mentioned English Dance & Song, the magazine of EFDSS, in the magazines. Under Derek Schofield's editorship this has completely transformed, from a dull in-house newsletter about tea-dances in the Harpenden area, into a damn good and finger-on-the-pulse read.

2) All comments / knowledge / expereinnce are UK / England based.

Enough.
