Notes
Cramped quarters in the CUPE hall -- but thankful to be there -- and with 3 squares dancing. Reports of good attendance and fun dancing at the benefit dance earlier in the week with Dave Hutchison calling.

Trade
Boys Trade
Girls Trade
Centers Trade
Ends Trade
Partner Trade
Note: You can only Trade with someone you are touching, either directly or via a human conduit for "electricity" (explained during the club night)
That means you can only trade with someone in your own Line, Wave, Mini-Wave, or Mini-Line. (ie, just you and your partner -- with hand contact of course). You cannot trade with someone in front of you.
Three things must happen:
1) you walk forward
2. in a semi-circle
3. into the spot you are trading with.
Note that since a semi-circle turns you half way 'round, those who trade will end up facing the opposite direction from when they started. The direction of the person beside you after you trade does NOT influence your position; you always end up facing the opposite direction.
We also managed to sneak in Box the Gnat because it was called at the benefit dance earlier in the week.
As opposed to Trade, Box the Gnat can only be done with someone in
front of you. The effect effect is the same as if facing dancers Pass Thru,
do a U Turn Back and then reached out and joined right hands.
