Hoedown In Aid Of Motor Neurone Disease On Saturday 26th September Testvale Squares held a Hoedown at the ree Score Club in Totton to support their Charity of 2026 – Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Working closely with their local MND support group, over 80 tickets were sold for the event. The Hoedown included Square Dancing, Barn Dancing and Line Dancing with music and calling from Alan and Carol Gerrey, George from the local Line Dancing club, and Kay from Testvale Squares guiding everyone through the Barn Dances. With everyone in high spirits and lots of laughter, the dancing was excellent and also slightly chaotic at times, with a few people taking a tumble but no injuries to report! A well-stocked raffle took place when they stopped for refreshments, followed by some words about the importance of research and funding for MND. A fantastic evening and hopefully some new dancers to join the various clubs present. An initial tally on the night looks like approximately £1000 was raised for the local MND support group and a nal, possibly higher total, will be added to Testvale Squares’ JustGiving page.
