The tea dance in the new Stewarton Area Centre was much enjoyed and well supported.

The premises is a big asset to the town, despite a few minor teething problems and Betty and Nancy thank all who helped make the afternoon a success, especially Jim and Jackie.

Stewarton Open Door Club began their meeting on Thursday by singing the club song accompanied by Jim and Willie, the invited artists for the day.

A fine programme was performed with some Scottish dance tunes and favourite songs, along with some jokes and solos from Jim.

An excellent afternoon was had by all. President Nancy then thanked them both and welcomed new members to the club. Suggestions will be welcomed next week for the Christmas dinner.

Raffle was drawn and tea served.
