In the year 2022, The Late, HM The Queen, then Patron of the RSCDS, celebrated her Platinum Jubilee. And for the Berkhamsted Strathspey & Reel Club it was its Platinum year too. Coming in threes, Jeremy and Anne Newton, past presidents (1983-1985 & 2021-2023 respectively), also shared in the celebrations with their 70th birthdays in May. This dance, with the depiction of threes in the patterns, commemorates that remarkable year. The music was gifted to Stephen and especially composed by John Renton in May 2022 for this dance.
