> In 1987 the Wirral Branch participated in the International Folklore Festival, Marburg-Biedenkopf in West Germany together with teams from
Poland, Portugal, Czechoslovakia, The United States of America, Yugoslavia and, of course, from Germany.
> RSCDS Wirral Branch were guests of Volkstanz- und Trachtengruppe Gladenbach who hosted our party of some 40 dancers and helpers for 2 weeks.
> Much of the German music inspired Muriel Rimmer to compose "<<ddt:Wirral in Gladenbach>>" - and so of course a dance had to be devised to go with it.
