AFTER a stormy summer, Sidmouth Steppers were already discussing ideas for next season at their annual general meeting earlier this month.

The Steppers were lucky to fulfill their various engagements despite the poor weather including the Devon County Show, four Folk Festivals and the side's tenth year anniversary weekend.

Unfortunately downpours halted the traditional Thursday evening with Great Western in the Market Square before the Folk Festival.

With dance out season over, practice begins in earnest and the Steppers have urged any ladies to consider being part of their group by inviting beginners to free taster sessions in October. The side will meet at the Guide Hall, Lawn Vista, from 7.15pm to 9.15pm every Tuesday.

Musicians interested in playing British country dance music are also welcome.
