Inter-Varsity Folk Dance Festival 1997

Cambridge - the 47th festival

Friday February 28th - Sunday March 2nd

Men at work (as it will be until the festival is over!)


Well, we are still here, and so is assorted lost property

The sports hall thought you were wonderful, and said we should make it an annual event.

Sheffield host IVFDF 1998, Exeter will probably host 1999.

What's ...

New Updated

Sleeping

We have now mainly overcome our massive sleeping problem. Sleeping is still limited, so if you know anyone in Cambridge it will be very helpful if you could arrange to sleep with them. The sleeping that we can provide comes in the form of 2 Church Halls and a college function room, so you will require your sleeping bags.


IVFDF'97 supports RAG

This year, for the 1st time (as far as I'm aware), IVFDF is holding an all night French Dance. This event will be in aid of RAG, so there will be buckets going round for you to contribute. I would like to encourage you all to raise as much money as possible. This is for weekend ticket holders only.

Displays

This year, the "Display ceilidh" is being held in a hall of dimension 30x10m (less seating space). There is one door, at the rear end of the hall. There will be a sheet at reception for you to fill in your preferred rehearsal time. If you want the Cherry Hinton Band to play for you, then you are too late. You will have to provide your own music (either cassette tape or live).

Advance tickets are available from Anthony Bearon, St. John's College, Cambridge, CB2 1TP. Tickets will also be available during the festival at the reception, Anglia Polytechnic University Students' Union, East Road, Cambridge, England. Tickets for individual workshops are available on the door. Please note that admission to events is by badges that will be supplied on arrival.
