Among these groovers are five people who have celebrated 90th birthdays, including a 92-year-old war veteran.
Margaret and Noel Williams have organised a weekly dance since 1997, for keen dancers to show their moves.
Mrs Williams said many of the members have been dancing since the late 1970’s, and were seeking an organised group to join.
She started out with nine people at the Seniors Hall, and now has anywhere from 35 to 50 people turn up at the bowling club for some Sunday morning fun.
And while everyone is welcomed and appreciated, Mrs Williams said the five who have reached “the roaring 90’s” are the real VIPs.
Age hasn’t slowed them down either, with Mrs Williams saying 92-year-old Fred is one of the most keen.
“Fred, he’s a beauty mate,” she said.
“Those five are always first at the door.”
“We make sure they get looked after.”
