Roy Goldring wrote this dance in honour of Derek Haynes who died in 2005.
Derek Haynes was born in 1932 and started Scottish Country Dancing in 1953. He qualified as an RSCDS teacher
five years later and although based in Lancashire, taught classes throughout the UK and abroad. He published his
63 dances in six books, entitled The Carnforth Collection, Volumes 1-6, which he sold in aid of Imperial Cancer
Research Fund. Some of his dances were also published by the RSCDS and some appeared in Hugh Foss’s
Glendarroch SCD sheets.
His “Indexed Guide for Progressive Teaching” was published by the RSCDS and in 2003 he was awarded the RSCDS
Scroll of Honour for services to dancing. In addition to dancing he was also a keen cyclist and hillwalker.
