[Squaredancing] Re: [sd-callers] National Convention trip report

[Sandy Caldwell]

The last time we sent to the National Convention, we had to choose 
between dancing and visiting some of the sites.  If we wanted to do 
both, we either had to change clothes in our van, or just dance in the 
challenge halls.  We were staying too far away to run back during the 
day.  We didn't get to do as much dancing as we would have without the 
dress codes.  I need to learn to ignore the rules, I think.
