The Annual Dance for 2024 was held on Friday 3rd May at 7.30 p.m. in the Cochrane Hall in Alva FK12 5LJ dancing to Nicol McLaren and his Scottish Dance Band. It was a great success and we look forward to announcing details of our next year's dance in due course.

The Joint Dance with Falkirk was held on Friday June 7th at 7.30 p.m. at Dobbie Hall, Maun Street, Larbert FK5 4B . Again this was very well attended and we look forward to welcoming the Falkirk Branch to Clackmannanshire next year. Details to follow.

This year's Alva Dances started on June 13th and will run for 10 weeks with two gaps, one for the UK election on July 4th as our hall is used for voting, and the other for the week of the Alva Games, i.e. July 11th. Programmes and Bands are to be found opposite. Note that July 4th was a late cancellation but the same band has agreed to play on August 29th for the July 4th programme. We may well have strawberry tarts on the evening as well!
