"the new edition has lots of appropriate illustrations mainly of early dance teams"
but modestly omitted to mention his own role in sourcing some of these splendid photographs. Well done Steve!

However even greater credit should be given to Pat Pickles and her wonderful collection of postcards, some of which appear in the book; Georgina rightly comments that "Pat and the collection are national treasures". I believe that Pat is busy preparing a new edition of Jig Dolls; "The Brightest of Entertainers, which she and her late husband Rennie originally wrote together. This promises to be a great treat, so watch this space!
