Flamborough sword dancers' boost for school
THE Flamborough Longsword Dancers have presented cheques to Flamborough School and Pre-School from the money collected at their Boxing Day performances.
The event raised more than 500, which was split between the school and pre-school.
Some also funded the junior longsword dancers’ trip to the sword dance competition held at the Whitby Folk Festival.
The age-old tradition took place around the village all day on Boxing Day.
The longsword dancers tour began at the White Horse pub in Bempton, before taking in the Rose and Crown pub in High Street, the Seabirds pub in Tower Street, the Victoria Club in Chapel Street, and finishing at Dog and Duck Square.
Tributes were paid at the event before the final dance in Dog and Duck Square to two stalwart supporters of the team – the late Trevor Stone and Eric Storey.
