Derek and Maureen Haynes were, as individuals and as a couple, a wonderful asset to Scottish Dancing. They were both superb dancers and gifted teachers and, in Derek’s case, an ingenious dance devisor. They gave freely of their time and talents to encourage others to enjoy this activity we all love.

Following Derek’s death in 2005, Maureen generously set up The Derek Haynes Annual Scholarship and many young dancers have benefited from this opportunity of a scholarship to attend Summer School.

Derek Haynes qualified as an RSCDS teacher and, although based in Lancashire, taught classes throughout the UK and abroad. Derek is probably best known as a dance devisor. He published 63 dances in The Carnforth Collection, Volumes 1-6, printed and collated by Derek and Maureen and sold in aid of Imperial Cancer Research Fund. In 2003 Derek was awarded the RSCDS Scroll of Honour.  

Born in Stenness in Orkney, Maureen moved with her family, first to Lanarkshire and later to a farm near Doncaster. She qualified as a Science Teacher in Durham and it was during this time she started Scottish Country Dancing. By the early 1980’s Maureen was Senior Mistress at Ryedale Comprehensive in North Yorkshire and it was here that she met Derek. 

They married in 1983 settling in Nether Kellett, between Lancaster and Kendal. Whilst Derek was alive, Maureen was often asked if she taught. Her constant reply was “one teacher in the family is enough” and, sad though it was when Derek died in 2005, it allowed Maureen to come out from his shadow and become a truly great and inspirational teacher of Scottish Country Dancing for the NW Craven Branch of RSCDS.  

Maureen’s skilled tutoring leaves an important legacy of 13 fully qualified teachers who will pass on her knowledge to the next generation.  As well as teaching in the South Lakes and Yorkshire Dales she was sought-after for workshops and day schools across the UK and worldwide.

In 2018 Maureen was awarded the RSCDS ‘Scroll of Honour’. Following her death in 2019, She left a very generous legacy to the RSCDS which has added significant funds to the Derek Haynes Memorial fund and now their combined legacy will allow many more young people (aged 35 and under) to attend Summer School as a participant on either dancing or music courses or to train as a Scottish Country Dance teacher.

The JMMF offers a limited number of individual member scholarships in addition to various funding support opportunities for Branches. For more information on the JMMF please click the link below.
