VILLAGERS dusted off their dancing shoes for a great fun Tea at the Ritz event in Maiden Newton Village Hall.

The Maiden Newton at War fundraising team staged the event to raise money for the second extravaganza, due to be held next summer.

Dance teachers Mr and Mrs Aird showed people how to cut the rug and there were delicious cakes to complete the Ritzy feel.

Organiser Joan Dean said: “It was a real flashback in time – there were enough people to make it a really enjoyable afternoon.

“We are also going to hold a series of ballroom dancing lessons this summer – all we need is for people to let us know if they’re interested and we’ll set them up.

“There will be one of our monthly brunches on May 30, and we have lots of events coming up, so watch this space.”

Anyone interested in ballroom dancing lessons should contact Joan to register their interest on 01300 321312.
