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.
