+So what do you get when you get a team of Scottish Dancers to your
+event? Well, you get some well-rehearsed and dramatic-looking
+dances which we do ourselves. More importantly, we will walk
+the audience through a few carefully chosen Ceilidh dances,
+such as the Gay Gordons, the Dashing White Sergeant, The Circassian Circle, Strip the Willow, the Flying Scotsman and
+so on. These are quite easy to do, lots of
+fun, very social, and they are quite brilliant ice-breakers.</TD>

+dances which we do ourselves. More importantly, we will walk
+the audience through a few carefully chosen Ceilidh dances,
+such as the Gay Gordons, the Dashing White Sergeant, The Circassian Circle, Strip the Willow, the Flying Scotsman and
+so on. These are quite easy to do, lots of
+fun, very social, and they are quite brilliant ice-breakers.</TD>

+event only 1 was danced), 2 Step dances and 2 Highland Dances.
+Shepherd's Hey led the evening off, followed by a set of Joie de Vivre,
+Seann Truibhas Willichan and Shiftin' Bobbins. Then Bevan danced Barracks
+Johnny to shouts of 'encore!'. The second half featured Dilip's
+spectacular rendition of the fling on hazardous tiles (accompanied by
+the even more spectacular rendition by one of the spectators - somewhat
+lacking style though) was followed by The Minstrel's Lute to round the
+evening off.
+Bevan Marchand, Dilip Sequeira, Elizabeth Drummond, Anna Walters, Natalie
+Jones, Rachel Pusey, Lucinda Coventry and Sam Schad provided the
+entertainment. Music by Murdo MacRae and The Reel Blend.<br><br>
+
+On Burns Night itself (a Thursday), Bevan Marchand, Elizabeth Drummond,

+which we were paid £50.<br><br>
+
+On the Friday we went for our annual Burns Night at the Caledonian Pipe
+Band. £50 covered transport and drinks, music was provided by Bob
+East. The dem was cut to avoid Strathspeys, and later mostly dropped in
+favour of ceilidh dancing.
+Bevan Marchand, Duncan Sheehan, Jamie Bell, Paul Miyagawa, Caroline
+Sylvain, Elizabeth Drummond, Rachel Pusey and Natalie Jones danced Johnny
+Walker twice through to Jig, and Shiftin' Bobbins.<br><br>

+From the 18th to the 21st March 2000, a team comprising Jenny Bletso, Gabrielle Higgins, Eszter Szegvari, Rachel Pusey, Bevan Marchand, Duncan Sheehan and Adrian Gillott represented the society at a Folk Festival in Portugal. Music was provided by a CD courtesy of Rupert Wilmouth, and coaching was variously provided by Alice Stainer, Emily Connell, Helen ap-Rhisiart, Jenny's mother, and the members of the team.<br><br>
+
+The Ambitious program was as follows:<br><br>

+Diary<br>
+SATURDAY<br>
+12ish Everyone gradually met at Heathrow. The principle of minimum critical density crowds was observed - i.e. that once you have a couple of people, a group quickly gathers. We all checked in successfully (dem. dress in hand luggage.) Lunch was had up in the Restaurant in terminal 2, and Bevan enjoyed racing round with the luggage trolleys.<br><br>
+
+1:40 The flight to Oporto. This went smoothly, with minimum of disruption. We were fortunate to have already eaten, and thus not have to inflict the typical plastic airline lunch on ourselves. <br><br>
+
+3:40 We arrived at the airport, and were met by Nuno and a girl, bearing an A4 piece of paper with the word "Oxford" on it. They had brought a minibus, so we all piled in. On observing the piles of posters on the floor we discovered we were performing in a "FUMP", a word which featured (in various conjugations) frequently throughout the week. <br><br>
+
+*** Note - from here onwards all events will be given in both Portuguese and English time. While these might superficially appear to be the same (given that both countries are in the same time zone) this is not in fact the case. For example, while the FUMP started at 9:30 Portuguese time, this was 11pm English time. The curious thing was that Portuguese clocks seem to show English time...<br><br>
+
+5:00 Arrived at our superb **** Hotel. We dropped all our stuff off in our rooms. We then went off to the place where we would be performing that evening, inspected the dance floor (very slippery, luckily we had practiced in the Talbot hall before), and practiced our entrances and exits until our hosts became restive around 6:15 , then went to the reception (which started at 5). <br><br>
+
+We spent some time at the reception eating food (mostly meat and fish) and then went back to the hotel to collect our kit. We noted that Portuguese sub-fusc was quite like ours, but much jazzier. (especially the red socks and knee length breeches). Jenny wanted to get a highwayman's hat and cape (which was what it looked like), and Bevan complained that we weren't allowed to wear society and event badges on our gowns in the UK. <br><br>
+
+8:05-9:00ish At dinner (held in the university's hall, which seem to be much the same the world over, except that this one closed at 8:00 English time), we heard some of the other groups singing. We realised that this was a missing part of our performance, and someone (later attributed by a process of elimination to Bevan, though he can't remember saying it either) suggested that Auld Lang Syne be added to our performance at the end. This was practiced enthusiastically, if not in the best traditions of British Choralship. It had the advantage that hopefully no-one else would know what it should sound like. <br><br>
+
+At this time we were taken back to the hall. After a bit of vague wandering about a changing room was found for us. The Portuguese are obviously very progressive; not only did we have one changing room for both males and females, but various other people kept wandering in to leave instruments in there, probably wondering what these strange English people were doing taking their clothes off. <br><br>
+
+We finally got to the hall to see that we were in 6th place. (this was, of course, later changed). Highlights of the evening were the guitar orchestra (which we have a tape of) and the Spanish Flamenco dancers.
+Our performance was somewhat interesting, and had to be rewritten mid flow. The first set went without mishap, then things started going. Duncan's sporran fell off during the Fling, which was very off-putting (Bevan's tassels thankfully were better behaved than on previous occasions). The suppressed squeals and giggles from the audience as the rocking step started were apparently audible backstage. Then, just after the chord to start the Six-some, one of the sound technicians took a unilateral decision that we needed some applause, and switched off the volume. Fortunately he took this course and not switching off the CD, as that really would have terminated our performance. When he switched it on again, some careful counting was required to work out where we were, but we got back on track. The audience particularly appreciated the leaping, spinning and whooping that happened in the 6-some. This worked OK, and the Shepherd's crook went without a hitch. Bevan then disappeared off to deal with serious dehydration, leaving the others to do the 2nd set of Country dances, and reappearing at the end. After our last circle in Mairi's wedding, we formed a straight line, bowed and then rendered Auld Lang Syne at a very high pitch with strained voices, but the audience seemed to love it. The curtain came down on us at that point, which was fortunate, as we had no prearranged way of leaving the stage. <br><br>
+
+The FUMP meandered on until 3am. The Portuguese dancing was nice, and bore some resemblance to Scottish, but got very repetitive. At the end of it, we were presented with a "FUMP" trophy (Is it a toast rack? Is it a letter rack with attachments for holding biros? Answers on a postcard to...) , hopefully the first of many to grace the OUSDS archives. <br><br>
+
+After this there was a party, which Bevan and Rachel went to until 4:30, to represent the society and out of interest. It was like a Bop, with wall to wall packing of people. Bevan was told to "stop being so English" as "no-one was watching". Obviously nationality changes depending on who is watching. <br><br>
+
+SUNDAY<br>
+We all woke up far too early (varying between 10:30 and 11:30). We went out for a coffee, as the University lunch hall (a different, nice one mostly used by tutors) was not open yet. Then we had lunch, followed by a massive, wild impromptu all singing and dancing party. We danced the Shepherd's crook and Reel of the 51st to a piper, who seemed more used to playing Latin-y tunes on the pipes than real Highland. A very dangerous Polka followed around all the tables, during which some couples learnt why you go anti-clockwise round the dance floor (overturn for 90 degree turns is impossible). The Guitarists were playing any and everything, from the Birdie song to Scotland the Brave, to the Entertainer. <br><br>
+
+We left there at about 4pm with aching legs, to be taken to Bom Jesus, which has a church on top of a hill. We went up by a funicular railway powered by water (load on at top, empty it out at the bottom). The church at the top of the hill was so small that the altar had to be outside. It was cold, and we had to walk down all the steps past the stages of the cross, admiring the Biblical inscriptions in the stone from the book of "Bom." <br><br>
+
+We got back too late even in Portuguese time to go to hall, so we went to a restaurant in Braga. The meal was periodically punctured by people going off to the toilet in pairs, and returning to complain they couldn't find it. The food was meat orientated (Duncan ate horse) but quite nice. We then went and listened to the University choir at the Cathedral, who sang in English very well. <br><br>
+
+Jenny and Bevan then retired to bed, while the others went off to a Jazz bar. The musicians sat and read their papers while everyone else listened to recorded music. To bed at 2am. <br><br>
+
+MONDAY<br>
+The morning was spent shopping for alcohol (that took a long time!). Then at 2:20 we went for lunch at the University (which ended at 2pm!) They served food on huge platters. We then went to the beach, and watched the sunset from a church on the way. On the minibus journeys the habit of singing was established, now that we were not so shattered. We worked our way through our reasonably extensive repertoire of English folk and other music. On the beach we paddled in the Atlantic (very cold). Bevan did a Highland Fling in the shallows (isn't it typical?) and Eszter got very wet in spite of rolling up trouser ends. Being Oxford undergraduates we couldn't just leave it at that, and the local residents we treated to a rendition of "Hello" in Greek, Euler's equation, a bicycle before the invention of round wheels, and a snail in the sand. We also danced Mairi's Wedding to our own singing, which no doubt made our Portuguese hosts think we were insane. As it was now very dark, we headed off for food, via the station, to drop our Spanish friend off. We then headed off to yet another coffee bar, which had an adventure playground nearby (there was a riot getting out of the bus to get there first), and a large quantity of fountains covered by grills in the street. Eszter, Bevan and Adrian risked a thorough soaking by running up and down these. After these frolics we got to bed at 1:30 am, and had to pack for the next day, <br><br>
+
+TUESDAY<br>
+we got up at 7:30am for breakfast at the hotel. At a Portuguese 8:00 (8:30) Nuno turned up with the Minibus to take us to the Airport. Our hand luggage on this occasion consisted of over 20 bottles of alcohol!!! We arrived back in the UK safely, after an hour's delay in the air over Heathrow, and departed our separate ways. <br><br>

+<FONT SIZE=5>A FEW THOUGHTS ON<BR>ASKING PEOPLE TO DANCE</FONT><BR>\r
+<IMG SRC="../div.gif" BORDER=0 ALT="divider" HEIGHT=5 WIDTH=520><BR></CENTER>\r
+<BR>\r
+The art of asking someone to dance is a little researched subject. For many people, the standard "would you like to dance?" or "will you dance?" suffices throughout their dancing career. Some people never even progress that far, and spend their time at \r
+dances wandering the floor continually hoping to be asked to dance, or always ending up with the last person in the room as the couple which completes the last set.\r
+<BR><BR>\r
+On the other hand are the people with flowery speeches, who can spend so\r
+long asking you that by the time you get on the floor, the dance is over. On the shorter end of there are requests along the vein of "I think you are the most beautiful woman in the \r
+world - will you dance with me?" This can cause problems later when asking the lady next to her to dance. Then there are the more formal requests, such as "would you do me the honour of this dance?" These last ones are suitable on certain occasions, especially \r
+when you are hoping for more than a dance.\r
+<BR><BR>\r
+There are also the cautious requests... "Do you have a partner for this dance?" "Are you taken?" These have become more common since the start of booking dances, a practice simultaneously verbally condemned and enthusiastically practiced by many. This is \r
+a practical way of ensuring you dance all the dances you want to, with the partner you want to, but loses the spontaneous impulse of other requests.\r
+<BR><BR>\r
+There are also, of course, the non verbal requests - raising an eyebrow\r
+across the dance floor can be worth a thousand words. Providing the person in question is actually looking at you. Then there is the over-dramatic bow, the "loiter with intent," and \r
+even the dramatic jump across the dance floor, culminating in landing directly in front of the desired partner.\r
+<BR><BR>\r
+However, these all pall in comparison with the new heights to which Andrew\r
+Thomson has proposed to take requesting a dance. In the most direct\r
+fashion, the latest line is "Origh' darlin', get yer crib, yer've\r
+pulled."<BR><BR>\r

+<BR>
+<P>Scottish dancing and Oxford have a long and close connection, which although not immediately
+apparent, soon becomes evident under the light of proper historical scrutiny. Merton College (1264) was originally
+founded as an institute for the "practyce and enjoiment of reeles, jiggs, and strathspays", and the original
+entrance requirement to that college was the performance of a perfect Spurtle. The number and variety of quads was
+deliberate, to enable practice of square sets and varying formations. Mob Quad is, as anyone who has measured it
+will know, the perfect size for a Sixteensome Reel. The undergraduates, tonsured novices all of them, were taught
+how to recite the Liturgy while setting and to perform Communion with Petronella turns. A typical seven year course
+would teach all students to perform to the highest level; and upon graduation, after reeling through what-was-to-be
+Radcliffe Square with every other member of the university, a full gown was awarded to match the kilt. Other
+colleges followed Merton and tried to disrupt their monopoly; much of Merton�s wealth comes from ill-judged
+challenges from these upstart colleges, who believed they could do a finer Eightsome. Dancing was not just part
+of the instruction; it <I>was</I> the instruction.
+
+<P>The first test of the society came in 1296, when Edward of England invaded Scotland. Two former members of
+the OUSDS, William "Braveheart" Wallace, and Andrew "Dewdney" Moray immediately set off for Scotland, using
+Highland Travelling step. When they arrived a year later, they defeated the English at Stirling. Andrew was
+credited with the winning strategy, which consisted of doing a Highland Fling on the edge of a cliff, and leaping
+whenever anyone charged at him. This led to the loss of the greater part of the English Army, which withdrew in
+disgust at these unsporting tactics. They returned to complete the job in 1314, by which time Robert Bruce has
+completed his term as President, and headed up to the Highlands. The English once again could not compete with the
+dancing skills of the Scottish and in 1328 they allowed the Scots independence.
+
+<P>Meanwhile, back at the OUSDS, in the mid fourteenth century, Dennis and Diana Tucker began teaching. The minutes
+of the very first TGM in Seventh Week, Michaelmas Term, 1354, still survive, and are a valuable source of information.
+They show that the society gave Dennis some manuscript tokens, thanked him for his time; and he said how much he
+enjoyed teaching the group. Mead and oatcake representatives were elected, and the post of treasurer was invented to
+cope with the emergence of a currency-based capitalist economy. It is unknown how long the meeting lasted, as
+the candle did not burn for long enough to provide a recognisable division of time.
+
+<P>And then, several years later, Univ came along and ruined all the dedicated work of the Mertonians. Believing in
+an outdated and senseless programme of "education", they began to turn Oxford away from its original purpose and make
+it a university. Because of fashion and the short-sighted ambitions of the ruling classes, young noblemen were taught
+the <I>quadrivium</I> rather than The Quadrille. Merton'�s decline was not helped by John Wycliffe, whose heresy and
+unpopularity were intimately linked with Scottish dancing. Part of his anti-authoritarian programme was the writing
+of his own dances, featuring unheard-of progressions and dangerous new set sizes. Intent on destroying the artifice of
+ceremony, for the first time, ceilidh whooping was actively encouraged. An anti-Lollard described "all mannere of
+reeling and spinning" during a typical Lollard gathering, and even the University authorities took a dim view of
+some of the more elaborate dances. Wycliffe died peacefully, but his bones were then dug up and burnt by the government
+"as a lesson to all heretics." Bob "Miss" M�lygin, the Chancellor of the University, was said to have written
+a dance to commemorate the tragedy, called "Burn Lollard Burn (you're off to Inferno)" but this has not survived. Bob
+was also credited with the creation of the RSCDS, founded for ex-OUSDS members all over the world. The HQ was set up
+in Edinburgh, a tactical move to ensure the Scots kept on Scottish dancing, and did not start something else, which
+might have caused confusion.
+
+<P>The fourteenth century saw the establishment of the Thursday class in Summertown, and a shocking rise in membership
+prices. Two cows and a pig were now required for yearly subscription, rather than the traditional charge of a hen; in
+protest, three members burnt their kilts and were heard to mutter, "*&%
+this, let�s found Morris dancing." The last
+they were heard of, they all had bells and long white beards, which was surprising given that the three of them were
+women. The fifteenth century, being the Dark Ages, was dark, and no-one really enjoyed themselves. A lot of bumps and
+bruises were collected in this period, as absolute precision was required, the dancers being unable to see one another.
+But then! along came the Renaissance and humanism and all things good, and Scottish dancing was brought out from the
+gloom. The newly-founded Bodleian was established as a home for manuscripts of dances, and Dennis injured his calf
+muscles whilst performing a Tulloch Turn under hazardous conditions.
+
+<P>At the same time, the Scots were defeated by the English at the battle of Flodden. This was attributed to the English
+starting the battle before the scots had time to change into their dancing shoes, and thus fighting at a tremendous
+disadvantage. Later on, during what is known as the "Rough Wooing" Henry the Eighth caused so much damage to the dance
+floor that Edinburgh Castle had to be rebuilt. Around this time, back in Oxford the well known John Wesley was burnt at
+the stake for mispronouncing the words to Old Lang Syne at the Hilary term Ceilidh. The monarchy took this as a deliberate
+challenge to the status quo. Wesley is best remembered, however, for having the first purpose built dance hall in Oxford,
+and bequeathing access to it once a week to the OUSDS on his death. In 1559 John Knox was sent to Scotland to inform the
+Scots of the latest advances at Merton; He took with him several books by the eminent Mathematician John Drewry, This
+caused such shock waves that the entire Scottish Church was converted in an afternoon.
+
+<P>The Civil War obviously had a great effect on Oxford, what with the king coming to stay and everything. This is not
+to say that Charles enjoyed unqualified support, with the Right Hon. Duncan Sheehan QC and Sir Rupert Wilmouth fighting
+a very public, and very bloody duel in the middle of Broad Street. The match was declared a tie, and they retired to
+the Turf for drinks; the next day, they were both seen in an intoxicated condition arguing about whether pudding bowl
+or fly-away haircuts were more fashionable, and whether ribbons on one�s saddle made one look French. The Scottish
+Dance Society actually performed for the king in exile, receiving eight gold sovereigns and free drinks for their
+trouble. The president also managed to catch the eye of a young serving lady, but as she was one of the king�s
+mistresses, he was told at dagger point to keep off. So he did. This incident accidentally created the tradition of
+Scots men wearing nothing under their kilts. The young lady in question having decided to keep a souvenir of the
+occasion, the president found himself lacking his one and only undercloth. Since then, as now, the dress of society
+was taken by example from the President, the tradition was created. How everyone discovered remains unanswered to this
+day. On the same occasion, one Compte Le Marchand distinguished himself performing high cuts until the king, tired of
+his prancing, ordered the final cut; and no more was seen of the Marchand. This incensed the OUSDS so much that they
+invited their pipers to play Charles out of England, which they did, until he fled to the Isle of Wight.
+
+<P>After the Civil war came Charles II, the age of toleration for all things happy and joyful. With the lifting of the
+ban on dancing, the attraction waned, and the OUSDS was in danger of dissipating. But then James I and the act of Union
+intervened. It is one of the lesser known facts of the Gunpowder plot that Guy MacFawkes was actually discovered because,
+bored with waiting for the gunpowder to blow up, he decided to amuse himself by playing his bagpipes and doing a Highland
+Fling. Contrary to popular belief, he was not killed because of the plot at all, but because he refused to stop playing.
+In the words of the Guard captain "it was so bloody awful he deserved to die." Some other members of the society were put
+to death while having a Ceilidh at their house in the country, for breaking the local noise regulations.
+
+<P>After the Civil War came the Glorious Revolution, William and Mary, and all that fuss with the Jacobites. OUSDS were
+obviously on the side of Mr. Orange (except when they were fighting against him), and played a visible, if rather
+ineffective, part in the skirmishes. Indeed, it is rumoured that the refusal of the Jacobites to hand over some swords
+so that the society could do a Jacobean Sword dance was the main reason for the war.
+
+<P>During this period, the English, in their typical unthinking way, invaded Scotland and took it over. This caused no
+end of troubles. To stop the Scots from becoming uppity, they banned the wearing of tartan. This caused much
+consternation at the OUSDS. After one or two abortive dancing sessions, for the sake of preserving the Ladies� modesty,
+and society funds, it was decreed that the men also should wear white skirts. This was greeted with much merriment by the
+female members of the society. Unfortunately, the government, still in the throes of strict puritanism, took a much
+dimmer view of the entire affair, and several members narrowly avoided being burnt at the stake by escaping to the
+continent. Returning several years later, they brought with them such foreign names as the Espagnole and La Baratte.
+
+<P>It is rumoured that the disreputable renegade Andrew Thomson, who led the massacre of Glencoe in 1692 might once have
+danced at our society, and spent his last days writing dances to celebrate his part in the slaughter. This is not
+confirmed and actually rather dubious; all the relevant testimony about Thomson�s heroic exploits comes from a Miss
+Millar of Killiecrankie, who is suspected to be partial in the case. Under the restored monarchy, Scottish dancing was
+frowned upon as "un-English", and the movement again went underground. Sharing common links with the Ranters, the
+Quakers, and my very favourites the Muggletonians, religious dissent and crossing reels became inextricably linked.
+Dancing was political, a way of asserting nationhood and recovering the individual from underneath the burgeoning
+conformity of the middle classes; it also enabled grown men to put on a skirt and dance like a girl.
+
+<P>The conduct of the society in the war was not entirely without note. The Ealanta team's challenge to the Scottish
+highlanders at Culloden to settle the event by a judged demonstration of the Cumberland reel was decisive, with the Duke
+of Cumberland kindly getting his butcher to provide refreshments for which the area is famous. The Scots returned to
+Scotland with the tails tucked under their kilts.
+
+<P>The end of the eighteenth century, and a tide of revolution was sweeping Europe! America declared itself independent,
+and the first of many visiting students appeared at OUSDS. France overthrew its monarchy and razed all the symbols of
+the old regime, and the French refugees brought with them to England a whole new vocabulary for dancing. The manoeuvre
+known until 1790 as "pootle round with your partner in a funny oblong shape" was re-christened "the Poussette",
+and "Promenade" replaced the rather more prosaic "walk". Scottish dancing came into its own in an era of increasing
+liberalism and tolerance. As every good, and many bad, historians know the middle classes kept on rising, and brought
+with them to Oxford a popularising spirit. As the system of personal servants and lavish accomodation was modernised
+into the system of scouts and broom cupboards, OUSDS changed with the times, and began accepting non-titled members.
+Second sons were now permitted so long as they were fluent in Greek, and women - hitherto regarded as equal and
+liberated members of the society - were suddenly forced to dance as ladies and wear white sheets. This caused an
+uproar, particularly among some of the men, who had grown used to dancing on the other side and could not swap back
+easily. Victorianism was very dull, and no-one enjoyed themselves, but it did mean that minute books were better kept.
+From this, we know the water and Digestives rep was Jamie Fotherton-Healey, and the secretary Samantha Esk-Stainer. We
+also know that the president was removed from office after being rather too vigorous in his work to reclaim prostitutes,
+although he claimed late-night naked prayer sessions were simply an expression of faith, and the elaborate leather and
+rubber device hanging by his bed a way of mortifying flesh. Dennis and Diana were thanked for their time, and they both
+said how much they enjoyed teaching the group.
+
+<P>At last, the twentieth century and its attendent slaugher hove into view, and during the First World War too many
+young dancers lost their lives. This was not helped by the insistence of a hard-core group of Oxford dons on using
+Strathspey step to advance upon the enemy, and preceding every attack with a rendition of the Highland fling in full
+view of the enemy. Peace for a time, and we all danced in corrugated sheds and smoked pipes, then more bloody and
+senseless warfare. It has been claimed that, if viewed correctly, the Allied Invasion plan follows the same pattern as
+"Polharrow Burn", although some historians prefer the "None so Pretty" hypothesis. However, there can be no doubt as
+to the provenance of "Montgomeries� Rant" over the debacle at Arnhem. Rumour has it that in the original demonstration,
+given in the gardens of Edinburgh Castle, the dance was heralded by the dropping of the entire Scottish Airborne forces
+in full dress uniform. The dance was never danced, but 5,000 soldiers were arrested for indecent exposure.
+
+<P>It is unknown whether Jack Churchill had been a member of the OUSDS, but from his deportment in War it is suspected
+this was indeed the case. He was the one officer if the British Army of 1943 who entered battle armed with a claidhmore,
+and his bag pipes cleared more Italians from Monte Casino that his Commandos ever did. He was tragically killed while
+leading down too far in "Wild Geese" when he hit the German front line. When he explained what he was doing there, the
+Germans took the name of the dance as an obscure insult, and shot him.
+
+<P>OUSDS swung into the Sixties with the Summer Love ceilidh and the ill-fated punt trip, where rather too much tripping
+and not enough punting caused the tragic death of Miss Anna Merkin. The Seventies and Eighties are best forgotten,
+although we did have lots of members and very little money, and the Nineties have so far been eventful. Facing the
+challenge of a new Millenium, OUSDS stands proud before its history, with rising membership, 4 swords, an incipient
+tartan and confident with its young, charming, even handsome president at the helm. In times of crisis, future
+caretakers of the sacred Archie will do well to remember the advice of the immortal Dennis Tucker: "Get hold of that
+Girl and push!!!"

+I was about to turn into Staverton Road, when I was accosted by a\r
+middle-aged black lady in sunglasses on a bicycle, called Claire, who\r
+asked whether she could take a photo of me. Ever the debonair ambassador\r
+for OUSDS, I said yes, so she started getting her camera out of her bag,\r
+and explained to me that she was taking photos for a calendar. The idea\r
+was to raise money for charity - AIDS, firemen and various other things I\r
+forget - by selling a calendar of men's legs. \r
+<BR><BR>\r
+She asked me a few questions about what my kilt meant, and whether any of\r
+the other kit had a particular meaning. So we had a photo of me standing\r
+up, and several photos of me sitting down on a bench pretending to be\r
+engrossed in a newspaper and trying hard not to smile. She then noticed\r
+that the back page of the Times (our Worcester Ball freebie) had a highly\r
+spurious photo of lots of female legs, so I had to hold up the newspaper\r
+so that she could get that in as well. I hasten to add that this was all\r
+in broad daylight and at no stage did I show more than the regulation two\r
+inches of knee between kilt and sock. \r
+<BR><BR>\r
+Anyway, next time you see me dancing, remember I'm the man from Men's Legs\r

+<BR>Where would any website be without a generous helping of filth, smut\r
+and iniquity? And Scottish dancing seems to lend itself uncannily well to \r
+innuendo and suggestion, where even the most innocently-intended comments \r
+can come out in a blush-provoking \r
+manner. Here, discovered lurking in the back of the president\92s file, are\r
+the results of someone else\92s hard work, a collection of prime quotes from\r

+---\r
+Dear Bevan, \r
+\r
+Here is a contribution to tips on asking people to dance for the website:\r
+\r
+Heard of a famous dandy at Harrowgate of the name of Stewart, a relative of Lord \r
+Castlereagh, who being asked by the Master of Ceremonies to dance enquired of \r
+him if the lady he meant to introduce him to was handsome, and being told she \r
+was he enquired if she was rich, and being told she had a good fortune asked if \r
+she danced well and being answered in the affirmative said, 'Trot her out'. When \r
+he came to her he took out his quizzing glass and having eyed the lady some time \r
+through it says to the M. C. 'Trot her back again'.\r
+\r
+ Benjamin Newton, Diary, 25th August 1818\r
+ \r
+ \r
+M. C. must have been a nightmare job if you had to fix up all the couples as \r
+well! \r

+<FONT SIZE=6>The Origins of Scottish dancing, dress, and culture.</FONT><BR>
+<IMG SRC="../div.gif" BORDER=0 ALT="divider" HEIGHT=5 WIDTH=520><BR></CENTER>
+<BR>
+It is widely held by many that Scottish Country dancing began in 1923, under the auspices of Miss Milligan, and that Scottish culture really began with the formalisation and registration of tartans in the nineteenth century.
+<BR><BR>
+In fact the formalisation of all these key parts of Scottish culture
+merely standardised what already existed. In the wild days before the
+formalisation, Scottish culture flourished
+throughout the world freely, with each local area having it's own
+interpretations of
+dance. <BR><BR>
+Evidence remains to suggest that Scottish garments were once worn throughout the world. Romans are often pictured wearing a variation of the fil-eadh mhor, which the supposed referred to as the "togha". Anticipating the military trend of the 1700's by some 2 millennia, their soldiers wore cut down version of this, keeping the kilt, but with considerably less material on the top.
+<BR><BR>
+Challenging the proposition that the kilt was a cut down, phillimore, some of the earliest cultures on earth wore kilts. The Egyptians wore kilts without pleating, or with negligible amounts (it does get hot in the sun), while the Indians were unable to find any cotton material at all, and made kilts out of beads, along with many African tribes. While the Egyptians did not apparently worry about the lack of plaid in their dress, the other cultures made patterns from the beads relating to their household or village.
+<BR><BR>
+That Scottish dancing existed around this time was without doubt. The "fearsome roars" often heard from barbarian camps by roman historians were obviously Ceilidh whoops; the Romans themselves were often entertained by ladies step dances done by young girls. The Maori "wardance" is a relative of highland dancing. Dancing by firelight has been a common pursuit of peoples without homes.
+Greek vases show pictures of Strathspey circles common in that area.
+<BR><BR>
+In conclusion, it can be said that Scottish Dancing has been an integral part of human existence since time began, and we are proud to be associated with such a traditional means of entertainment.

+\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {\ul \r
+\par }{1 - Colour.\r
+\par The tartan will have a base colour of Oxford Blue. (description to come from Oxford Limited). It will also have green and white. The exact shade of Green is left to the discretion of Albion Highland. It should be deep green; certainly not lighter than th\r
+at used in the Modern Davidson tartan. If tramlines are used, black may also be added.\r
+\par \r
+\par 2 - Pattern.\r
+\par The pattern of the tartan should de distinctly unique, and , as far as possible, obviously different from any other tartan in existence.\r
+\par \r
+\par The pattern should\r
+ be plain and simple, and should not include many thin lines. MacKinnon and Stewart are examples of tartans criticised for being over complex - though it was commented that Royal Stewart leaves a good area of base colour. Examples of the desired patterns \r
+a\r
+re: Arbuthnott, Brodie (though it was commented that this did not have a large enough area of background colour), Dunbar, Eliott, Gordon, Graham. The most common criticism of the patterns of tartans was that the underlying colour was not pronounced enough\r
+.\r
+\par \r
+\par The white should be overlaid in thin stripes, as the lighter colour is in many of the tartans above. It may be in single or double lines, but should not be regular in the former case; to quote one of our members, we don't want the tartan for use as a ch\r
+ess board. An example of the type of pattern to be avoided is Leslie.\r
+\par \r
+\par The blue should dominate the tartan, with a square of blue 1/8 to 1/4 of the size of the set left plain (or possibly overlaid only with white).\r
+\par \r
+\par The white stripes may be in the centre of the set, or round the edge; It would be preferred than on a kilt there was a central set of stripes down the front (whatever implications that has for design).\r
+\par \r
+\par Opinion is divided whether the green and blue should meet. One favoured pattern is pairs of vertical and horizontal tramlines with a green stripe between them.\r
+\par }\pard \widctlpar\brdrb\brdrs\brdrw15\brsp20 \adjustright {\r
+\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {\r
+\par Dear Mr. McNab,\r
+\par \r
+\par This is the brief I submitted to Oxford Limited for approval. Since then we have had further discussions; Most notably other people have agreed with me that given the sha\r
+de of Oxford Blue, we need a another, lighter shade of blue on the Tartan as well. One blue tartan which particularly impressed me was the Rangers football team tartan; This appears to glow from across the room.\r
+\par \r
+\par The priorities on the tartan design are to \r
+make a nice looking tartan which will sell. I was concerned about the limited nature of the colours chosen, but remembered the Norwegian MacDonald Tartan you showed me last time, which looked very good in spite of the limited choice of colours.\r
+\par \r
+\par The tartans we refer to we have only seen in books, and I am aware that these may vary a lot in colour and size from the actual tartan.\r
+\par \r
+\par Please let me know if there are any parts of the brief you disagree with, or which you feel are inappropriate. I look forward to seeing you to discuss the brief in person.\r
+\par \r
+\par Yours sincerely\r
+\par \r

+ <h2>A few thoughts on how to ask people to dance</h2>
+ <p>The art of asking someone to dance is a little researched subject. For many people, the standard "would you like to dance?" or "will you dance?" suffices throughout their dancing career. Some people never even progress that far, and spend their time at dances wandering the floor continually hoping to be asked to dance, or always ending up with the last person in the room as the couple which completes the last set.</p>
+
+ <p>On the other hand are the people with flowery speeches, who can spend so long asking you that by the time you get on the floor, the dance is over. On the shorter end of there are requests along the vein of "I think you are the most beautiful woman in the world - will you dance with me?" This can cause problems later when asking the lady next to her to dance. Then there are the more formal requests, such as "would you do me the honour of this dance?" These last ones are suitable on certain occasions, especially when you are hoping for more than a dance.</p>
+
+ <p>There are also the cautious requests... "Do you have a partner for this dance?" "Are you taken?" These have become more common since the start of booking dances, a practice simultaneously verbally condemned and enthusiastically practiced by many. This is a practical way of ensuring you dance all the dances you want to, with the partner you want to, but loses the spontaneous impulse of other requests.</p>
+
+ <p>There are also, of course, the non verbal requests - raising an eyebrow across the dance floor can be worth a thousand words. Providing the person in question is actually looking at you. Then there is the over-dramatic bow, the "loiter with intent," and even the dramatic jump across the dance floor, culminating in landing directly in front of the desired partner.</p>
+
+ <p>However, these all pall in comparison with the new heights to which Andrew Thomson has proposed to take requesting a dance. In the most direct fashion, the latest line is "Origh' darlin', get yer crib, yer've pulled."</p>

+
+ <a href="committee.shtml"> <img src="images/bookus.png" class="right" height="121" width="121"> </a>
+ <p>
+ We often run ceilidhs for people for a fee (negotiable). We do not have
+ a live band. However we do have a portable CD player and voice amplification suitable for small
+ halls (we use this for our classes). Depending on needs we can provide a
+ caller and several helpers for an evening, we are flexible and have a wide
+ range of ceilidh dances in our repertoire. We have a group of keen and able
+ dancers many of whom are experienced in performing demonstrations of
+ Scottish country dancing and some limited Highland dancing. We can perform
+ demonstrations as part of a ceilidh or separately as a stand-alone
+ performance depending on the availability of our dancers.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ We have run Ceilidhs and performed for the following people:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Wadham College JCR</li>
+ <li>Jesus College MCR</li>
+ <li>St. Edmund's Hall MCR</li>
+ <li>Hertford College MCR</li>
+ <li>North Oxford International Centre</li>
+ <li>St. Columba's Church, Oxford</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ To book us, please email our current <a href="committee.shtml">Ceilidh Organiser</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Members of OUSDS have competed in the Slough festival and our team
+ won in 2008 and 2010.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Members of OUSDS have also competed as part of the international team
+ at the Newcastle festival and in Feb. 2009 the team won the award for best
+ demonstration. This was choreographed by our advanced class teacher
+ Samantha Schad.

+ <h3><a name="gingerbread">Gingerbread Folk (Favourite biscuit recipes)</a></h3>
+ <p>You can use extra golden syrup instead of treacle if desired, and extra ginger/cinnamon instead of mixed spice. Decorate with dried fruit, icing or whatever strikes you.</p>
+ <div class="ingredients">
+ <ul>
+ <li>4 oz. butter</li>
+ <li>4 oz. brown sugar</li>
+ <li>1 tbsp. black treacle</li>
+ <li>1 tbsp. golden syrup</li>
+ <li>1 tsp. orange juice</li>
+ <li>8 oz. SR flour</li>
+ <li>2 tsp. ground ginger</li>
+ <li>1 tsp. mixed spice</li>
+ <li>Gingerbread man cutter</li>
+ </ul>
+ </div>
+
+ <p>Preheat oven to 180 C. Cream together butter, sugar, treacle, syrup and orange juice. Add the flour and ginger. Roll out on a floured surface. Cut out shapes, put on greased baking trays, decorate and bake 10-15 mins.</p>
+ </div>
+ <div class="recipe">
+ <h3><a name="cookies">Fudgy cookies</a></h3>
+ <div class="ingredients">
+ <ul>
+ <li>200g dark chocolate</li>
+ <li>30g butter</li>
+ <li>100g sugar</li>
+ <li>2 eggs</li>
+ <li>1 egg yolk</li>
+ <li>170g flour</li>
+ <li>1 tsp. bicarb.</li>
+ <li>½ tsp. vanilla</li>
+ </ul>
+ </div>
+ <p>Melt chocolate and butter in a saucepan. Mix sugar and eggs. Combine the two mixtures, add flour. Freeze dough 2 hrs, then roll into balls, put on greased trays and bake 7 mins. at 180 C.</p>
+ </div>
+ <div class="recipe">
+ <h3><a name="flapjacks">Flapjacks (Mummy's recipe)</a></h3>
+ <p>Tip: Line baking tin with greased greaseproof paper in order to be able to get the flapjacks out, and the paper off, afterwards.</p>
+ <div class="ingredients">
+ <ul>
+ <li>4oz butter</li>
+ <li>4oz golden syrup</li>
+ <li>3oz sugar</li>
+ </ul>
+ </div>
+ <p>Preheat oven to 190 C. Melt the butter and syrup in a saucepan. Mix in the rolled oats and sugar (and anything else you may like to put in, e.g. ground ginger, dried fruit, chocolate chips – but the unadorned version is really nice). Bake 20 mins, until lightly browned. Mark into pieces and leave to cool. Then get the pieces out of the tin… I think this is nice to eat unbaked but hot from the saucepan.</p>
+ </div>
+ <div class="recipe">
+ <h3><a name="lemon">Lemon biscuits (1 dough, 100 cookies)</a></h3>
+ <div class="ingredients">

+ <li>(Optional: 140 g chocolate, 30 thin strips of lemon rind)</li>
+ </ul>
+ </div>
+ <p>(Optional decoration: melt the chocolate and dip the strips of rind. Leave to cool)</p>
+ <p>Mix butter and sugar, then beat in egg yolk and lemon juice. Sift in the flour and stir. Halve the dough into 2 balls and chill in fridge for 30-60 mins. Preheat oven to 190 C. Grease 2 trays. Roll out dough and cut out thin rounds. Bake 10-15 mins. When cool, ice (follow instructions on icing sugar packet - the recipe's icing instructions are duff) with lemon icing, and add optional decoration if desired.</p>
+ </div>
+ <div class="recipe">
+ <h3><a name="shortbread">Shortbread (Mummy's recipe)</a></h3>
+ <p>The secret is not to have the oven too hot, and not to leave the shortbread in too long.</p>
+ <div class="ingredients">
+ <ul>
+ <li>4oz plain flour </li>
+ <li>2oz cornflour </li>
+ <li>4oz butter/margarine </li>
+ <li>2oz caster sugar</li>
+ <li>Optional flavouring eg vanilla</li>
+ <li>grated rind of 1 orange</li>
+ </ul>
+ </div>
+ <p>Sieve flours together. Cream butter until soft, then add castor sugar, beat until pale and creamy. Add orange peel etc if using. Work in the flour mixture a spoonful at a time. Get it to stick together and lift or press onto a greased baking tray or tin, ideally in an 8 inch circle, with prettily pinched pattern round the edge. Prick with fork, cut partly through into portions with the back of a knife. Leave to chill 15 minutes then bake 35 minutes at 335F or Gas Mark 3.</p>
+ </div>
+ <div class="recipe">
+ <h3><a name="Bonnag">Bonnag (Traditional Manx, a bit like a scone loaf</a></h3>
+ <div class="ingredients">
+ <ul>
+ <li>1 lb plain flour</li>
+ <li>Sour milk</li>
+ <li>1 tsp. each of bicarbonate, cream of tartar and sugar.</li>
+ <li>Raisins</li>
+ </ul>
+ </div>
+ <p>Preheat oven to gas 3. Mix ingredients to a soft dough and add raisins. Put in a greased tin (12 x 6 in. or similar) and bake 40-45 mins.</p>
+ </div>
+ <div class="recipe">
+ <h3><a name="butterscotch">Butterscotch biscuits (Favourite biscuit recipes)</a></h3>
+ <div class="ingredients">
+ <ul>
+ <li>8 oz. light brown sugar</li>
+ <li>4 oz. butter</li>
+ <li>1 tsp. vanilla essence</li>
+ <li>1 beaten egg</li>
+ <li>12 oz. SR flour</li>
+ </ul>
+ </div>
+ <p>Preheat oven to 180 C. Melt butter, sugar and vanilla over a low heat. When this has cooled, add beaten egg. Sift flour in a bowl and make a well in the centre; pour in the egg/butter/sugar mixture. Knead to a stiff dough (this will be quite dry, don't worry). Roll out and cut out 2 inch rounds. Put on greased baking tray and bake for 20 mins.</p>
+ </div>
+ <div class="recipe">
+ <h3><a name="tablet">Tablet</a></h3>
+ <div class="ingredients">
+ <ul>
+ <li>1 kg (!) white sugar</li>
+ <li>1 tin (c.400g) sweetened condensed milk</li>
+ <li>100g butter</li>
+ <li>Some ordinary milk</li>
+ <li>12 x 6 inch (or similar area) tin/ dish, greased and lined </li>
+ </ul>
+ </div>
+ <p>In a saucepan, damp the sugar with the ordinary milk (not too much, just enough for it to stick together). Add the condensed milk and butter and mix over heat. The mixture will take about 10 mins. to come to the boil, during which it should be stirred continuously. If there are brown streaks, turn the heat down. When it boils, turn the heat down and let it bubble for 20 mins., stirring occasionally. Then turn the heat off and stir vigorously. It should reduce and thicken quite a lot. When it does feel thick and stiff, and if the spoon encounters grittiness on the bottom of the pan, it's time to test. Take a teaspoonful and plunge it into cold water. It should form a sticky mass which isn't runny. (DON'T taste test at this point!) Then pour your mixture into a receptacle and leave to set.</p>

+ <div class="recipe">
+ <h3><a name="brownies">Brownies</a></h3>
+ <p>A white chocolate version ('whities') is also possible.</p>

+ <h2>Origins of Scottish dancing, dress and culture</h2>
+ <p>It is widely held by many that Scottish Country dancing began in 1923, under the auspices of Miss Milligan, and that Scottish culture really began with the formalisation and registration of tartans in the nineteenth century.</p>
+
+ <p>In fact the formalisation of all these key parts of Scottish culture merely standardised what already existed. In the wild days before the formalisation, Scottish culture flourished throughout the world freely, with each local area having it's own interpretations of dance.</p>
+
+ <p>Evidence remains to suggest that Scottish garments were once worn throughout the world. Romans are often pictured wearing a variation of the fil-eadh mhor, which they supposed referred to as the "togha". Anticipating the military trend of the 1700's by some 2 millennia, their soldiers wore cut down version of this, keeping the kilt, but with considerably less material on the top.</p>
+
+ <p>Challenging the proposition that the kilt was a cut down, phillimore, some of the earliest cultures on earth wore kilts. The Egyptians wore kilts without pleating, or with negligible amounts (it does get hot in the sun), while the Indians were unable to find any cotton material at all, and made kilts out of beads, along with many African tribes. While the Egyptians did not apparently worry about the lack of plaid in their dress, the other cultures made patterns from the beads relating to their household or village.</p>
+
+ <p>That Scottish dancing existed around this time was without doubt. The "fearsome roars" often heard from barbarian camps by roman historians were obviously Ceilidh whoops; the Romans themselves were often entertained by ladies step dances done by young girls. The Maori "wardance" is a relative of highland dancing. Dancing by firelight has been a common pursuit of peoples without homes. Greek vases show pictures of Strathspey circles common in that area.</p>
+
+ <p>In conclusion, it can be said that Scottish Dancing has been an integral part of human existence since time began, and we are proud to be associated with such a traditional means of entertainment.</p>

+ <h2>What is Scottish Dancing?</h2>
+ <p>
+ Scottish Dancing covers a range of entirely different, or slightly different things, depending on who you believe. There are two main areas:
+ </p>
+ <h3 id="country">Scottish Country Dance</h3>
+ <img src="images/99mm2-Scottish-Dancing.jpg" width="300" height="200" alt="May Morning celebration with Scottish Country Dancing"/>
+ <p>
+ This is what we go in for, really (though no one is averse to a spot of high-kicking on occasion). It's easier to learn than Highland, and it's much more social. It includes most of the party dances that many of you may have enjoyed at weddings and parties, at St. Andrews or Burns' Night Suppers, or indeed at any other event where Scots gather together. Most of the time, though, we learn what might be termed line dances (note: these are not line dances as in line-dancing), more properly set dances. You stand opposite your partner, in lines of four couples, say, and perform a set of figures in the order relevant to the particular dance.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Basically, most dances are based around a set of standard moves. There's dance up and down, turn by the right, right hands across, cast off, cast up, poussette, allemande, promenade, arches, diamond poussette, double triangles, Crown triangles, back to back, setting. And then you can do them all the other way round. And then there're reels. Normal reels, diagonal reels, mirror reels, crossing reels, double crossing reels, Inveran reels, Schiehallion reels. Oh yes, and you can do those with three, four or any number of similarly inclined people. You can do most things that way, though.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Although this sounds daunting at first, you quickly pick up most of the figures necessary to the dances. And it's easy to have a good time. Most people love it from the beginning. There are always experienced dancers around willing to help you learn new figures. It is the real variety of figures that makes Scottish dancing so enjoyable.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ One myth is that Scottish dancing is just for the Scots. In fact, very few of the group are real, live authentic Scots, though many claim Scots forebearers. This is, of course, just an excuse to wear the tartan. It is a well established fact that far more Scottish Dancing goes on outside Scotland than in it!
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For a timetable of classes, ceilidhs and balls see the <a href="events.shtml">events page</a>. For what to wear for Scottish dancing, see <a href="shoes_kilts.shtml">this page</a>.
+ </p>
+
+ <h3 id="highland">Highland Dance</h3>
+ <img src="images/hd1.jpg" width="117" height="153" alt="highland dancing" />
+ <p>
+ Highland dancing is the traditional dance form of Scotland, dating back well before tartan, the kilt and many other things Scottish. It was formalised after the war with the formation of the SOBHD, who laid down exactly what was, and what was not, Highland Dancing.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ This includes all the flash stuff that involves swords, high-kicking steps, leaping and so on. It's fun, but it's HARD. Most of our dancers moved onto this after they learnt country; It's generally an individual thing so you miss out on the social side a bit (excluding the wild parties which are an integral part of OUSDS life). It's as good a workout as aerobics, and a lot more fun.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The aim of Highland is absolute precision of steps; it's reasonably easy to waggle your legs in roughly the right place, and a whole lot harder to do it so that it looks good. But it's worth it for the satisfaction of getting it right, and the impression you create when you give a display.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ If this sounds up your street, why not come along and try it out? The first dance we learn is the infamous Highland Fling; If nothing else you'll learn a few flashy steps to put in your Eightsome!
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ We do not discriminate between men and ladies (though Highland was traditionally performed by men); all are welcome to come to our classes. <a href="mail.shtml">Email us</a> to find out where and when they are at the moment. Please bring along a pair of soft shoes, or be prepared to dance in socks.

+ <h2>Dancing Shoes, Kilts and Tartan</h2>
+ <a href="images/shoes.jpg"><img src="images/shoes.jpg" width="160" height="200" alt="Dance Shoes" /></a>
+
+ <h3>What to wear to classes</h3>
+ <p>
+ Most people come in normal clothes, although it's helpful if you can move reasonably well in them. Many women wear a skirt, and if
+ you have a kilt, we encourage you to wear it occasionally (or always)! If you don't have dancing shoes, we recommend that you bring
+ soft, flexible shoes (flats are a good choice for women) or be prepared to dance in socks. Once you start learning a bit more technique,
+ you'll want to be able to point your toes!
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ We also have a number of pairs of shoes, some kilts and a few sashes for hire from the society. Most beginners start out dancing in Scottish dancing
+ shoes (ghillies) this way. Talk to any of the committee members at the next class about this.
+ <br>
+ If after dancing for a while you decide you would like to buy your own shoes (or kilt, for that matter), we recommend the links below.
+ </p>
