The group have met in the village hall every Tuesday for five years, but were given the boot last month after the Maulden Village Hall committee said the damage to the floor was just too much.

The group met in Maulden for the last time on Tuesday and it was an emotional day for all concerned.

The line-dancers will now have to move to Marston, which is around three miles from Maulden.

Wooden floor.
The floor is said to be damaged by the line-dancers.

One women present at the dance class said: "It's disgusting, we are not damaging the floor, you only have to look to see that."

Another line dancer said: "The village hall was built back in 1966 and only had a life span of twenty years, but it's still going and needs a major revamp and the committee is using the dance lessons as a scape-goat for the decay of the floor and the premises."

Line-dancing teacher Lorraine Kemp said: "I use three other village halls and have never had a problem such as this.

"People feel a lot more positive now it has been confirmed the class will continue at Marston village hall, but it's a real shame we are leaving because it was the perfect location for us."
