Awesome! Thanks for sharing, Chas! Wish I could be there - dancing with everyone!

Chas,

Thanks for the descriptions! I hate to admit it but I am not very good with the diagrams and far prefer them.

It looks like a fun program. The only one that I am really familiar with is the THE ROYAL DEESIDE RAILWAY (which was part of a set our class demonstration team performed and is a fun little number).

Keep on Dancing!

Cheers

Jamie

Hi Jamie,

I too prefer the instructions written out - the little pictures seem to miss all the important information. Like what are you supposed to do next!

Do you use the "Minicribs"? That's where I got these from. There are 4,234 entries all on one Word document.

I am working my way through them and printing them out a page at a time. I then cut them up and laminate and cut again. The idea is that I will have all 4,234 dances on individual cards in a kind of ring binder. At the start of the night, I can extract the relevant cards and have them in a small ring in my sporran. Then it should be a simple matter of a quick read before each dance to refresh my memory.

Or at least that's the plan!

Regards

Chas

Chas,

Is this on the RSCDS website? Star and I are members and I would love being able to look up the dances and bypass the Pillings.

Jamie,

It is taken from this site:

http://www.minicrib.care4free.net/index.htm

After having read all the home page click on this link near the top:

Includes "New" Advanced version

After reading page 2, the download link is a zip file near the bottom of the page.

Once it is downloaded and unzipped and installed, it is a Word document with Macros. I have to enable them each time, but that is no great hardship. And then it is "Add-Ins" on the top tabs next to View.

And then ENJOY!

Regards

Chas
