Update: Closure of The Marsh Street Centre
In keeping with the previously published policy regarding the operation of The Marsh Street Centre (MSC) during this Covid-19 crisis, we have continued to monitor the situation and follow the best applicable guidance. Today, the MSC Board of Directors have unanimously voted to temporarily close the entire MSC to the public with immediate effect. In addition to the cancellation of tonight’s event, the MSC will remain closed on Monday 16th March until further notice. The MSC Board and staff will meet on Monday to determine our course of action going forward. Rest assured that it is our intent to reopen the MSC for public use as soon as prudent, in line with our first priority – the safety and health of our community. We hope to be able to welcome everyone back to the Marsh Street Centre before too long. Board of Directors Marsh Street Centre 187 Marsh Street, Clarksburg, ON N0H 1J0 519 599 7837 ****** Lorraine Sutton is well known as a dance enthusiast and teacher, http://www.countrydancecaller.ca. In the Fall of 2013 she introduced a number of people in the area to the joys of English Country dancing. The event was so well received that a Society was formed to enjoy this special form of dance. Society members come from Bruce/ Grey and Simcoe Counties to dance in Clarksburg. Lord Grey is entering its 7th season this October 6 2019.
Eventually we hope to expand and include other venues for our dances and this and other facts were taken into consideration when naming the Society. A unique name in keeping with locale, tradition, dress and imagination was needed. Thus, we chose the name Lord Grey as founder of our Society. English Country Dance is a form of folk dance which originated in England in the 17th century but also contains elements of the European court dances of that period. This European influence adds charm and elegance as the dancers move in time to the hauntingly beautiful melodies. Why dance?
