A sequence dance group has celebrated its 50th birthday in style with a party.
Members of the Cheddar Old Tyme and Modern Sequence Dance Club cut the cake and slipped on their dancing shoes for a night to remember.
More than 80 people donned their best frocks and suits to whisk their way around the hall at a party this month.
Mike and Vera Bancroft founded the group in 1969 and have enjoyed seeing the club grow in numbers ever since.
Vera said: "It was a good evening and everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
