Ayr Branch Secretary, Mrs Wilma Brown, received a big surprise at the AGM on 2nd September 2021. 

Retiring Chairman, Mr Andrew McConnell, presented her with an award in recognition of the work she has done during lockdown to keep members engaged and interested in Branch activities. When people were first asked to stay at home Wilma decided to send a daily email to everyone with links to challenges, music, photographs, videos, dances and dance related information. 

She had anticipated sending the emails for about three weeks but eighteen months later is still going strong.

Although delighted to receive the award, Wilma is now working hard to get members back to meeting face to face again rather than communicating with them over the internet!
