Keith Urban 4 04/11/2004, 12:48:34 Next in line is the tax man

So you’ve started your Line dance class. Just you and a few friends who pay a couple of pounds a week for the fun of dancing. But be careful. As soon as your Line dancing brings in the pennies, the tax man will want his cut. Josh Botham explains

hether we like it or not, tax plays an important role in our lives. From the moment we are born and even after we W have gone, tax takes a slice of our wealth. Some people do not declare all their earnings to the tax authorities and, as a result, pay less tax then they should. This is called tax evasion.

Tax evasion is a criminal offence and the penalties are steep – in certain cases it could lead to imprisonment. Other people arrange their affairs, within the law, in such a way that they pay the least amount of tax. This is what we call tax avoidance and is perfectly legal. And then there are those people who do absolutely nothing about their tax affairs and, as a result, may pay more tax then they should. 10

The Inland Revenue has different schedules for each type of income. For instance if you are employed by a company, you will fall under schedule E if you are self employed you will fall under schedule D case I [income from a trade] or case II [income from a profession]. If you only have casual earnings you will fall under schedule D case VI. Why are these schedules so important? For each schedule there are different rules relating to the treatment of losses, the payment of national insurance contributions and the deductibility of expenses.

There are situations when a person’s earnings fall under more than one schedule. For example you can have a part time job [schedule E] and also have your own part time business [schedule D case I or II] at the same time.

Win Bond of Bronco Line dance club, Cheshire, celebrated her 60th birthday by jumping from an aeroplane. It might sound like a death wish to most of us but for Win this was simply her latest exploit in aid of local charities. Her second jump, it raised £3,888 for the North West Ready for air ambulance. She has also taken part in a ladies’ driving challenge in aid of Marie take off Curie Cancer Care. So far she has raised almost £30,000 for a variety of charities. “I want to do a wing walk next,” said Win who admits she is fearless. “I want to be strapped to the outside of a plane”. When she's not dancing with the Broncos or undertaking death-defying stunts, Win runs "Win’s Club" at Tiverton, Cheshire, on Tuesday mornings. The club attracts older dancers and includes a lady of 84. The rest of the time, Win can be found behind the wheel of the bus provided by Lord Cholmondley for local charity groups. Husband Keith and son Andrew were there to watch Win’s latest exploit. What did Keith think of efforts? “He’s very proud of me,” she says. “He’s quieter. I’m the extrovert – that’s why we’re still together”. The North West Air Ambulance crew made a special landing at Bunbury Village football ground to collect the cheque and to meet local children. Free as a bird

Win celebrates her 60th birthday with members of Win’s Club and a The Air Ambulance crew receives a cheque from Win. Much of the parachute cake. The club meets on Tuesday mornings. money raised came from sponsorship by fellow Line dancers.

We’ll be seeing you Goodbye and thank you to Bryan and Myra Hughes, say members of Wild Horse Saloon Line Dance Club, Buckley. The couple are retiring after 10 years dedicated Line dance teaching. An anonymous Saloon member told Grapevine: “We’ve all learned a lot and laughed a lot and made many friends in their class over the years”. However, it’s not so much “goodbye” as “au revoir” – Bryan and Myra will still be dancing with the club under their new instructor, Geoff Langford.

Maggie G’s fi rst trip to the Y’town, Sweden, certainly attracted the crowds. Carin Pedersen told Grapevine: “It was a big success for Y’town Line Dancers Club. All of us had a great time together with Maggie. We send regards to her and hopefully we’ll meet again soon”.

Tony the brave

To ny Swift of Texas Rose Line Dancing celebrated his 60th birthday with a fancy dress evening at the new Burley Club in Leeds. Tony, who usually plays the music for Texas Rose was left speechless when his wife, Margaret, and family presented the Hayleys as a surprise birthday gift. Margaret told Grapevine: “The Hayleys were brilliant. They kept the dancers, non dancer and Tony entertained all through the night with live music”. Tony is pictured looking rather brave with the Hayleys.

Raving about Sandra

Dancers and Ravers of Oswestry showed their appreciation for their teacher, Sandra Speck, by throwing a surprise Line dance party for her 40th birthday. Speaking on behalf of the club, Eileen Chatwood told Grapevine: “Sandra is our teacher and a very good one at that and is Young hotshot loved by all her club members for all the work she puts in”. Proving that Line dancing attracts people of all ages, here’s nine-week-old Jamie Conway, the newest member of the Southern Hotshots Line Dance Club, Cork. Jamie’s proud grandparents, Marilyn and John Newton, recently enjoyed the hospitality of Southern Hotshots’ teacher, Michael O’Shea who, they told Grapevine, is “a fantastic dancer”. “We had a really wonderful weekend with his Club in a hotel in Tralee,” said Marilyn and John. “We were treated with the utmost kindness and friendship. “We would like to thank Michael for his acceptance of us into his Club and for the wonderful weekend he put on.” 14

Line dancing is still alive and well in Latvia, writes Aris Liepins from Riga. It's very popular here like a mass culture. There are lots of clubs in nearly every town. My "native" club is named Jitterbug and it's the fi rst one founded fi ve years ago by Dzintra Rozite, the pioneer of Line dance culture in Latvia. I've been a head Line dancer now for two years.

First In Line of Hartlepool have had a fun-packed 2004. From fund-raising to their carnival and their Crazy Line Dance competition. Thanks to Judith Kennedy for the photos.

Judith Kennedy leads dancers in a Line dancing display (right) before the First In Liners hitched their fl oat to the the Hartlepool carnival parade (below).

The Funkalicious Chicken (above). Winnie takes part in the Crazy Dance Competition. Judith says: “The word ‘competition’ is used fairly lightly. It’s more about dressing up and being as crazy as you can”. Rules and regulations are few but the dance has to be done in costume. Previous contenders include a 59-year-old-man in a tutu and a competitor whose leg dropped off! Grapevine didn’t ask too many questions about that one.) This year’s Crazy Night takes place on Wednesday 24 November at Hartlepool Working Men’s Club. Anyone can enter a team.

We’ve taught this to one of our intermediate classes and it was well liked. It’s a good 32-counter with some interesting moves. Great music as well Funkalicious by Masters In Line. Very well choreographed by Rob & Co. We were impressed by how music and choreography were so well matched. This dance is really taking off in the US.

And here are a couple of our dances which fi ll fl oors when we teach them: Alison’s Bad Moon On the Rise has had a good response from the dancers and favourable reviews.

Linedancer p26 1 04/11/2004, 14:20:52 CELEBRITY.... COME “LINE DANCING”

If you are coming to the Crystal Boot Awards in February and you fancy taking an active part in the cabaret performances then we want to hear from you.

We are hosting a variation on the popular BBC television series 'Come Dancing' with our own exciting live version called: Celebrity Come Line Dancing! Some of the celebrities.... you could fi nd yourself dancing with!

A number of top professional dancers have already agreed to join the fun and are looking forward to working with volunteer social dancers to produce a showcase Paul McAdam routine in this 'FUN' competition. Maggie Gallagher

The celebrity and protege will be drawn at random on Friday evening and will have 24 hours to perfect their routine before they present it at the 'Dance Off' on Saturday evening.

A panel of 'experts' with sharp tongues

Barry Amato and bad attitudes will provide the cheeky comments for a little bit of fun BUT the

Rachael McEnaney winners will be chosen by audience vote.

If you like the idea & are up for it? Do get in touch!! Roy Van Donk Roy Van Dari-Ann Amato 90939

‘Irresponsible journalism’ Premier Leisure Breaks goes into liquidation

With reference to your article "Gary Get Your Gun" (Between the You have contacted us by phone and by letter to express Lines, November 2004), I hope that your comment that Gary Falconer your anger and dismay about the recent announcement has a “perfectly reasonable explanation” was intended to be ironic.

Leeds, West Yorkshire. Watching our step with John Wayne

The cover of the October 2004 Linedancer brought back memories to me of the fi rst job I had when I left school in 1950. At that time I was a great movie fan and tried to see every fi lm that was doing the rounds. As I lived in central London at that time there were plenty of cinemas to choose from and all within walking distance. As soon as I fi nished my schooling, at the age of 15, I managed to get a job in Warder Street which was the UK home of the fi lm business. I worked for British Lion Films who were also distributors for some American fi lm studios. The fi rst task they gave me was to tidy up their archive which was in the basement across the street and was full of movie memorabilia consisting of thousands of movie posters and photos of the stars. I spent days totally alone gazing at these old photos – as well as tidying up. And when I asked if I could keep some I was told to help myself. My fi rst selection was a large poster and a glossy 12x18 photo of John Wayne and Gail Russell. These were posed publicity stills for the fi lm Angel and the Badman made in 1947 and exactly as featured on your October cover. I kept these for many years afterwards. Many people believe John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara starred together in several of Wayne’s cavalry movies. In fact, they were together only in one, Rio Grande (1950). They starred together in only one other western, McLintock, (1963) and again she was his wife. Maureen O’Hara played a very small cameo role in Big Jake (1971) as his estranged wife and she was way down the credit list as an “also ran”. They were together again in two civvy fi lms: the memorable The Quiet Man (1952) and the forgettable Wings of Eagles (1957). The action picture on page seven shows a scene from the movie Stagecoach which was made in 1939. The driver jumping onto the horses is not John Wayne but his stuntman and long-time friend Yakimo Cannut. Yakimo performed many stunts for John Wayne and indeed many others, including the indians in this fi lm. Poor old Yakimo never got an on-screen credit for stunts. The picture on page nine is a posed publicity still showing Ben Johnson to John Wayne’s right and the burglar is Frank McGrath. The John Wayne was second to none as the macho image in fi lms and other two in the back are unnamed extras. in real life. But I will concede that perhaps Burt Lancaster and Kirk It is ludicrous to suggest that John Wayne was “second only to Douglas were his equals. Montgomery Clift” as the ultimate macho hero. Monty Clift was gay. Vincent Hickey, Monty Clift macho? Gosh, what next? Woodley, Reading. 79

Anyone who has taken up a new form of physical activity probably knows what it’s like to be reminded of muscles that have not been used for some time. This can range from a gentle twinge to mega pain if you have really overdone it. Virtually, every movement we make is the result of the contraction or relaxation of a group of skeletal muscles. Muscles pull on our bones, making them move. When a muscle contracts, the muscle fibres shorten and pull on the bones causing them to move together around a joint.
