The notes say this was devised in July 1965 for our annual Branch Weekend held at Geneva Park, Lake Couchiching, in September. The entry into the lead-up after reel of four requires care. The instructions also say this is for "3 couples in four couple set". However 1st couple end in 4th place with 4th couple stepping up, so for SCDDB this is a 4 couple dance with progression 2341.
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.
