Leikarring Folk Dance Group Eidsvold Lodge's Leikarring was
originally formed in 1947 by members Margarete and Andy Gilstein.
Members wear the National Hardanger costume (bunad).
Traditionally, the group performs
four classifications of Norwegian folkdance: Bygdedans (village dance),
Gammeldans (old dance), Turdans (figure dance, and Sangdans (song
dance).
They have performed at local Lodge
events, for schools and seniors' centers, the opening for the 1994
Commonwealth Games, and as far away as Stavanger, Norway in 2000 for the
Nordleck Scandinavian Dance Festival.
The group meets at Norway House
on Tuesdays at 7 P.M.

The Eidsvold Walking Club
meets on the first Saturday of each month at pre-determined locations
around Greater Victoria for a scenic and leisurely walk of about 4-5 kms.
After the walk, the group gets together for lunch at a nearby restaurant
or pub for an enjoyable meal together.
All Lodge members and guests are welcome! Times and locations can
be found below or in the latest issue of the 'Runer' on our
Newsletters page.
