A group of us (Ruary Laidlaw, Simon Barbour, Glenys Barbour, Christine Miller, Patricia Digby-Smith, Howard McNally, Glenys Pearce, Mary-Ann Goldsmith, Dianne Murdoch, John Murdoch, Bob Polkinghorn, Irene Polkinghorn, Ruth Budden and Peg Stringer) were invited to the wedding of Robyn Fergusson, the NZ Branch secretary, to Brian Howes on the 10th March 2001 in Tauranga in the sunny Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.

On the spot we decided to compose a dance to mark the occasion, which we did while the bride and groom were having their photographs taken. We danced it later on at the reception, much to the DJ's mystification, to some music that Simon Barbour had saved on his laptop that he just happened to have with him.
