RSCDS Berks/Hants/Surrey Border Branch

Date Planner

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

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 day schools further away and some other events that may have some large effect. Any suggestions gratefully received
