Dancers stage a Polished performance

A GROUP of Polish dancers from Torun gave a display of traditional dancing at the Polish Club in Swindon.

The Kadzioleczka dance group have been spending four days in Cheltenham to help celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Rendezvous Society, a charitable Gloucestershire twinning group.

They were invited to the club in Whitbourne Avenue for a one-off performance.

Chris Bulzacki, one of the organisers of the evening, said: "There were maybe 100 people there, mainly older members of the Polish community."

Recently the Polish Club hasn't seen the same hustle and bustle it used to have 15 or 20 years ago, but it was busy on the night."

The event was free but a collection was taken for the dancers and £150 was raised.

The group consisted of four girls, four boys and three musicians, together with their director.

After the performance there was a meeting of the Swindon Torun Group, and a constitution for the group was agreed.

In 2003 Swindon entered into a friendship and cooperation agreement with Torun.

Marek Sarnowski was chosen as chairman of the group, and former mayor Stan Pajak will be vice-chairman.
