Cambridge Federation Denman Weekend – 12 to 14 February 2010

What a wonderful time was had by those who attended the weekend courses at Denman College in Oxfordshire.
The three courses being given were:

(1) Flanders and Swann, performers who, during the 1950s and 1960s, managed to catch the spirit of that age with their
'inspired nonsense' and nearly always witty songs.

(2) Dance with Elaine Bywaters – from Madonna to Michael Jackson with a ‘Sex Bomb’ for added fun she managed to keep
her pupils on their toes and heels.

(3) Tracing your Ancestry with Chris Paton found us trying to research our family trees with the help of the internet and
many were delighted to find out more about their ancestors.

Following the lessons on Saturday evening we were entertained by some fellow students – amusing verse and prose, popular
music played on a flute and “Three Girls Young and Beautiful” (we're looking for a man) sung by Cynthia Buckland,
Janet Crouch and Angela Patrick. The en suite accommodation and the delicious meals were equivalent to a good quality
country hotel and all from Heydon and Great Chishill WI who went would highly recommend this wonderful WI facility.
