Reading University Union Folk Dance Society: MaraThons

http://www.ruufds.org.uk/twiki/bin/view/Public/MaraThons

In 1966 RUUFDS decided to take part in the university Rag Week by staging a Folk Dance Marathon. We danced in the car park of the Odeon cinema at the back of the Co-op (now where the Reading Travelodge is). We ended up dancing on the back of a float in the Rag Procession and ended in Morgan Road for the last dance 36 hours and 20 minutes after we started. The overnight slot - Malcolm Thomson, Ian Graham, Barbara Heatherington (in the sleeping bag), Rosemary? With her back to camera). Stuart, Val, Jenny?
