THE MR. and Mrs. Dance Club wants to find new members who like big band music.

Club president Wally Oatway said the 34-year-old North Shore Club is trying to boost its member- ship from the present 30 couples up to about 40 to 45 couples.

With a three-piece orchestra called Three Wheel Drive, the club members dance to music of Glen Miller and other swing era favorites usually once a month.

“t's like a dance hall with ballroom-type of dancing. It’s (mostly) people who have grown up in the big band era,” said Oat-

way, a 20-year club member.

Some of the Mr. and Mrs. Dance Club members come from Burnaby, Vancouver and Rich- mond to enjoy the evening of sw- ing music from a bygone era, he explained.

Oatway is looking for couples who ‘‘like a good time’ and are in the 40 to 55-year-old category. “But we don’t want it to get too big," he cautioned.

The club meets the last Saturday of each month in West Vancouver and potential members are asked to contact Oatway at 988-3960 or Lloyd Stone at 987-1836.
