Back to KEEN, bearing gifts

Back on November 14th, we paid a return visit to our charity for 2016, KEEN Oxford.

We went with two aims. The first was to provide a major part of the evening’s activity for the young people of KEEN, by getting them dancing. After warming them up with a performance on Banbury Bill, we took them through a Shepherd’s Hey and then had a go at teaching them Constant Billy.

Cry Havoc and KEEN try a stickless Constant Billy together.

We were successful enough at that to have a go at a massed Constant Billy, a joint KEEN and Cry Havoc production.

The second purpose of our visit was another cheerful occasion. We presented them KEEN with the results of our 2016 fundraising, £750. And a very worthwhile destination it is too.

It was a pity that KEEN volunteer and Havoc dancer and musician Nerys couldn’t be there, but she’s away at university in Germany.
