As Bob noted, the first dance is Missing Duck. A note on the figures:
Missing Duck, becket
Erik Hoffman
A1: circle L 3/4 and pass through
new ladies alle. L 1/2, partner alle. R 3/4 to long wave (Wm facing in)
A2: Rory O'Moore
B1: ladies start full hey by L shoulder
Actually, the first pass is Partner by the right. At the end of the Rory O'More
balances, I like it if you take your partner's hand, and launch your partner
into the hey:
Women get launched to the center to pass left
Men get launched out to loop right
B2: partner b&s

The first dance is Missing Duck by Erik Hoffman.
The Country Doctor's Reel goes:
A1. 4,4 Neighbor balance, turn to R
4,4 Neighbor balance, turn to R
A2. 4,4 Neighbor balance, turn to R
4,4 Neighbor balance, box the gnat
B1. 4,4 Neighbor pull by R, ladies pull by L
8 Partner swing
B2. 8 Long lines forward and back
8 Ladies chain to neighbor
In A1/A2 neighbors take R hands, balance, and do a Petronella turn ΒΌ to the R.
After three such balances the ladies are back to back facing out.

Was going through an old notebook and found the following scribblings. Can
anyone help identify them, or put choreography to the name?
Many thanks,
