Another fantastic walk by our member Barrie, KENSINGTON - When The Swinging Sixties Moved West === Lennon's secret lover, the magic of Hendrix and the Biba story Kensington today is a shadow of its former self, once a major shopping district. But back in the day it was very much part of the swinging sixties and this walk, transports you back to those magical years when the world flocked to the clubs and boutiques of the area and the Royal borough of Kensington and Chelsea really lived up to its name. Barrie has many personal memories and stories to tell you about those years as well as the interesting history that is all around you as you walk. For example : The first time The Jimi Hendrix Experience ever played on stage together was in Kensington.....but where? The most famous boutique the world has ever known, began and ended its short life in Kensington.....but where? John Lennon had a secret crush on a famous local resident and he visited her in Kensington.........but where? All of this and much, much more. Our walk which lasts a bit more than two hours costs £14, cash payable on the day, will be illustrated by historical photographs and music of the time.

**Caller: Richard Ades** **Band: The McKenzies** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot.
