The large number of 'novice' dancers at some Towersey ceilidhs (as at Sidmouth) were a distinct nuisance

Yes, it's so tiresome when young people want to enjoy themselves. I have a great idea, a separate tent for something called "dances for dancers" where older people who only want to do it "properly" to a quiet band can have the place to themselves. Then all those terrible young "muppets" who've paid money to have fun can get on with it without spoiling it for the minority.

Can't imagine why nobody thought of that before. Oh, and they could invite a princess to be their patron too . . .
