THANKS for your super editorial Come Dancing (June 15). You sent me spinning down Memory Lane. The years have certainly rolled since I told my kids that they were old enough to sit up late to watch Come Dancing.

As a young apprentice jockey in Malton 1947, I used to hitch a lift to and from the De Grey Rooms in York, to dance the night away. I became a friend of the late, great Bert Keech, Dance Hall organiser.
