Ruth's Speech at Knee-Deep Xmas Party 8th December 2001

Tonight is a very special night.

A night for thinking back and for looking ahead.

In thinking back, Chris and Linda we remember:

You Chris and Linda will remember all of us who have met and married through square dancing.

We also remember the firm friendships that have been formed through dancing together and then through working bees for Southside Cabarets, weekends away, your fabulous picnics and the wonderful Christmas parties each year.

So Chris, Linda, Katie, Hayley, Benjamin and Michael Christopher Theodore Froggatt, we would like to say thankyou for the great dancing, for all the fun and for all the laughter, for the love that comes from you which flows to all of us.

We thank you for all your hard work and for everything.

So on this special night we are thinking back over 23 years and we are also looking ahead.

We will miss you all terribly, we love you, so we know we must let you do what is best for you.

We wish you well for all the good times yet to come.
