Branch profile
Wow! Over this last year West Renfrewshire Branch has celebrated its centenary in style! We had a wonderful time catching up with former dancers at our 'Afternoon Tea Dance' in December 2025, then dancing the night away to 'Ian Muir Sound' at our Centenary Ball in Greenock Town Hall in March of this year. Gary Coull, Chair of RSCDS gave a lovely warm speech and Mattie Stirling, our longest standing and still dancing member, cut the celebratory cake. The evening started with a magnificent buffet provided by 'First Choice Catering' and ended with lovely emails complementing West Renfrewshire on such a great achievement. We look forward to sending photographs to HQ to be published very soon of this fabulous celebration. In a word, it is all down to Vera, our long serving teacher and organiser of our annual ball. Thank you to Vera and to all our supporters for making this year such a success!
West Renfrewshire Branch meets on Monday evenings from September until March each year in St John's Scottish Episcopal Church hall, Greenock. The church is on Union St, with postcode PA16 8JJ, the hall is round the back, just off Jamaica St. We are very close to Greenock bus station and within easy walking distance of 'Greenock West' railway station (Glasgow to Gourock line). There is plenty of parking available just beside the church hall in the evenings. We meet from 7.30 pm till approximately 9.45 pm, Monday evenings. The hall has a large dance floor and offers great facilities.
New members interested in trying Scottish Country Dancing for the first time or those who would like to rekindle their previous involvement will be made very welcome. Perhaps you are new to West Renfrewshire/Inverclyde area; perhaps you danced at school; you can come alone or perhaps you and your partner/son/daughter or friend want to join an activity together? Scottish Country Dancing not only keeps your body fit but keeps your mind very alert and introduces you to new friends and people all over the world with the same interest.
Whatever your reason for joining us, the West Renfrewshire Local Association will make sure that new dancers are made to feel very welcome. You don’t need to have any prior experience, you don’t need special clothes or footwear (just soft shoes) - and you definitely don’t need to be Scottish!
CURRENT NEWS:
Our AGM will be held on WEDNESDAY 20th MAY 2026.
LATE NEWS: Dates for our next term: TO BE ADDED VERY SOON.
