Rod writes: "Désirée has been secretary for the Johnsonville club, and is a long serving member. She and her husband John are super cyclists and have a longstanding blog. Being of Dutch descent, the cycling is part of her DNA. The Hello and Goodbye fIgure is from the Cane Toad Collection, specially the dance called The Three Oaks. Recommended music is "Centenary Square" by Chris Drewhurst, and a good recording is the society's recording of The Library at Birmingham from Book 49." Rod Downey, tutor of the Johnsonville SCD Club, Wellington, New Zealand, devised 'Désirée Patterson' in honour of club member Désirée Patterson's 70th birthday on Monday, August 14, 2017. He taught this four-couple strathspey to Désirée and other club members as the last dance for the evening at the club's weekly meeting, which occurred on Désirée's birthday. So it was danced for the first time ever.
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (4). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.
