RSCDS Berks/Hants/Surrey Border Branch

Date Planner

Please email webmaster as early as possible with any planned dates to try and avoid clashes.

Please also check a previous year as a clashing event may not yet been scheduled or made public.

I have tried to include clubs outside the Berks/Hants/Surrey Border Branch which are within 30 minutes of a club in the branch and have a dance with a band, plus Fleet socials as they are on Saturdays. Also day schools further away and some other events that may have some large effect. Any suggestions gratefully received
