Come dancing in Menston I would like to introduce myself. My name is Barbara Harrison and my husband is Bernard. We moved to Menston more than thirty years ago with our two children and have not had the opportunity to integrate with the Menston people as we both had full time demanding jobs. Once our children left home, we were free to go out more and we started going to dances. |
