Local Interest and Other Groups
Clifford Drama Group

Clifford is blessed with a very polished Drama Group which puts on two plays every year in the Village Hall.
They run a very effective Patron scheme which allows patrons to attend all productions free. They also get to attend a wide variety of other functions put on by the Group, such as the annual BBQ, theatre visits, etc.
As with most drama clubs they are always eager to attract more members to act on stage, present or produce plays or help with all the other things needed behind the scenes.

Tamara Two-Steppers

You are invited to “come dancing” with us on Wednesday evenings. Our Club,  “Tamara Two-Steppers”, is a small but very friendly round dance club with 24 members. We dance in the Methodist School Room, Church View Mews, Clifford on the second and fourth Wednesday evenings each month from about 7.00pm. We have been dancing in Clifford for some four or five years, before which we danced in Bramham Village Hall.  The club was formed in 1999 at East Ardsley and we moved shortly after that to Bramham.  This year we are celebrating our tenth year.

Round dancing is best described as “choreographed ballroom dancing” where the instructions (Cues) are given by a cuer so that all the floor are doing the same steps at the same time.
This is intended for those who have never danced before or have done very little dancing as well as experienced dancers who wish to try something a little different.

If you are interested in joining us then please ring Ann & Tony on 0113 2520336 as soon as possible.  If there are sufficient numbers then additional evenings will be arranged. Please bring a partner if possible!!
Come along and have fun!!   Learn to enjoy life again!!.
