th
Once
upon
a
time,
as
all
good
stories
begin,
there
was
a
young
Scottish
dancer
called
Corrie
who
met
a
young
lad
called
Ian
at
dancing
classes.
In
honour
of
their
marriage
in
Montreal
in
1995,
a
friend
of
theirs,
Maurice
Whitby,
devised this special dance.
Years
later,
in
recognition
of
his
services
to
the
cause
of
Scottish
Country
Dancing,
Maurice
was
presented
with
a
silver
Loving
Cup
or
Quaich.
When
Maurice
died,
and
his
family
from
England
closed
up
his
home
in
Canada,
they
found
the
Quaich.
Now
the
famly
were
not
dancers
but
they
lived
in
Peckleton
and
were
great
friends
of
Margaret
&
Brian
Crosbie
who
danced
at
Leicester.
So,
knowing
of
the
dancing
link,
Maurice’s
family
gifted
the
Quaich to Margaret, who in turn gifted it to the Leicester RSCDS Branch.
And the story of the Leicester Annual Quaich Quiz is another story ........
