VE Day 2020: 75th Anniversary

Sadly, our dance performances in Chippenham Town Centre for the 75th anniversary of VE Day had to be cancelled due to COVID Lockdown. Thank you to you all for your commitment to learning our lovely performance routines in preparation for the event (Tracey that was a brilliant skirt!).
