Senior Citizens Variety Show - 7th February

For many years the Lions have put on a Senior Citizens Variety Show on the first Sunday in February.

This year about 170 local elderly were entertained again at the Knutsford Civic Centre by a mixture of acts, ending with a special performance put on by the Knutsford Lions - picture above left shows an extract from the final rehearsal. The Lions this year presented a special "local" edition of "Roughly Come Dancing" featuring three dazzling couples meticulously selected from the local Club (actually the only ones prepared to do it!!). Voting was very tight from the judges, and the final verdict was given to the audience - the winners are shown above right - not the judges first choice, but hey-ho, what's new about that!

Other "more professional" (some members might disagree with that description?) acts were provided by the Celtica Irish Dance group, The Singing Waiters (complete with trays - very convenient for holding the scripts!), and a variety of songs with strange and varied instruments by the Corvus Folk Group.

A free raffle was held in the interval assisted by the Knutsford Town Mayor.

Early comments from carefully selected members of the audience indicated that the Show was one of our best!
