A good turnout of club members farewelled Don and Judy Keats on Monday 20 May.

Maureen gave a brief speech and a bounteous supper with two cakes and fruit was on offer along with lots of smiles and fond farewells.

Judy and Don are moving to their retirement home on the Kapiti Coast, and will take up membership of Waikanae Scottish Country Dance Club.

They’ve been members and very regular attendees at Johnsonville since 2014, helping behind the scenes whenever asked at both club and other events as well as volunteering to distribute posters for our beginners’ classes.

Thank you both for your help and your friendship on the dance floor. We will miss you. Please come back and visit when you can.

Good luck and happy dancing in your next phase of life.

Thanks to John Patterson for the lovely photo.

“Thank you all for making our 5 years of Scottish Country dancing so much fun. We’ve really enjoyed being part of the club and all its activities. We’ll be dancing at the Waikanae club from now on, but we’re sure our paths will cross in the future; maybe in a cross-over reel! Thank you.” Don and Judy Keats
