OBITUARY - HOWARD BURROWS

Howard joined Truro Folk Dance club in 1980 with his wife Margaret when invited to come along to the Royal British Legion in Truro. The club later moved to Kea Community Hall, Playing Place, Truro in 1990 and has continued there to date.
Howard started calling a few dances within the club and later called at public functions starting in 1993 with a charity dance in a garden in Playing Place, Truro. Howard found public and club calling very rewarding and look forward to every event, the planning stage as well as the function. Howard was a regular in house club caller and also called at private wedding parties, birthdays and many other social events within Cornwall.
Howard was elected honorary secretary in 1991 for Truro Folk Dance Club and held this position until his resignation in 2016 handing over to Carol Strevens. As secretary Howard organised our annual dinner dance, our club dances and the charity dances sponsored by the Truro Folk Dance Club arranging the booking of visiting bands and callers. Howard took over the running of the New Years Eve dance in 2001.

Howard passed away on 26th June 2022
