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
Most events from March 2019 to September 2021 were cancelled due to pandemic but any planned ones are kept as placeholders here
