Day Of Dance 2010- Photo Gallery
Although the weather was the worst we have seen for many years we still managed to turn out 3 teams to celebrate this yearly inportant event, after dancing at the shops we retreated to the parish room and danced all sets before standing the children down due to the inclimate weather. We then split into 2 teams, danced the village as normal and finished at Beckhole all wet and cold.

International Sword Spec May 2004 - Photo Gallery
This year’s sword spec started with a party, the American teams of Candy Rapper, Slightly Green & The Gay Blades arrived early & were put up in the village hall for the first night, we had a BBQ at the Inn On The Moor. “What more could a visiting team ask for, food, drink and shelter” (and I cooked 20 breakfasts at Les & Lillian’s the following morning) was what one of the team asked, well that is the Plough Stots hospitality. We had the junior team out on the Saturday; the highlight of the day was I got the younger American team & our juniors to dance on the deck of the Endeavour that was visiting Whitby the same weekend.
The weekend went smoothly, a credit to the organisers ending the weekend with a gala at the Whitby Spa.
The wind down was at Beckhole with several teams enjoying & joining in the fun, Note the size of the locks.
P.S. A great thanks to Brian Keld from Wype Doles who hosted our friends Podsable Komna on their tours & socialising with them afterwards.
