- Love is in the Air!!
As is our custom, our Valentine night was also a fund raiser. This year the vote was for the Beyond Blue initiative - an organisation that assists people with depression. The door takings, raffle and sale of pre-loved square dance clothing raised just over $1,000 for this organisation. The hall looked beautiful with the hearts and cupids. Thanks to all who joined us and dressed to match in the red, whites and pinks. It was a great atmosphere and of course set to music with the “love” theme – romantic and raunchy!

Adelaide Outlaws dancers at the Power of the Past rally - Milang
On Sunday Jan 24th, Graham & Dawn and a set of our dancers gave a demonstration of square dancing at the “Power of the Past” engine and car rally down at Milang on the shores of Lake Alexandrina (about 80km south east of Adelaide).
This rally is an exhibition of old engines, vehicles and memoribilia from the past. a collection of stationary engnes, tractors, vintage and not-so-vintage cars, motor cycles and collectables. We were thrilled to be asked and gave them a couple of brackets of dancing. On a beautiful warm day, dancing on the grass was fun but a little challenging with lumps and bumps. The crowd loved it and we enjoyed the chance to look at all the equipment on display too. Seems we weren’t the oldies after all!! Thanks to our set for coming all the way to do this:
Dawn, Barry, Brian, Mary, Ross, Margaret, John, Zaree, Eddie, Rosalie and Milton.

Graham & Dawm receiving their naughty list from club President Eddie.
To paraphrase Frankie Valli – “Oh What a night!!”. A fantastic crowd gathered for our last dance for 2009 and the atmosphere was electric. We Welcomed our learners to join us for a night of learners level, Mainstream and even some rounds. We kicked off with a catered dinner at 7pm and it was like the feeding of the five thousand. With swift arrangement of staged servings and some dancing we managed to get everyone fed with some great chicken and salads and still have plenty of time for dancing.
Our learners were with us most of the night and everyone danced their hearts out. The hall looked great and thanks to some great helpers setting up the previous night and then before the dance, the hall really looked festive.
It wouldn’t be an Outlaws Christmas without Santa entering the hall in another unusual mode of transport and this time, the centuries of racing around on Xmas eve had taken their toll – Santa arrived on a gopher! Me thinks Santa seemed to enjoy the ride as he steadily lapped the hall whilst the helpers gave out the treats. We noticed he then seemed to get more creative with his driving, looping around asnd reversing to the crowd’s delight. Bit if a lad our Santa.
Santa in his "Gopher" wowing the crowd.
It was a memorable evening and to top it off, Dawn had her Birthday on that night and was presented with a beautiful basket from the club. she worked so hard on the night keeping it all co-ordinated, the pressie was well deserved.
Thanks to all who attended, dressed in Xmas colours, brought the sumptuous desserts for supper, helped clean up and most of all, supported us during 2009.
We wish you all the best for the holiday season and look forward to more fun in 2010.

Dancing through the Decades.
Our theme this year had a different decade for each bracket. Great to see so many dress to the theme with a wide variety of costumes. I’m not sure where the hillbillies came from though! A great atmosphere and fantastic support from all clubs. Thanks to Les Tulloch, Jeff Seidel, Thelma McCue for help on the program and a special guest appearance by “retired” James Reid.
A lot of help from the committee and other helpers made the hall and supper something to remember. Why I’m sure even our life sized Elvis was all shook up! Take a look at some of the photos of our caller Graham and the night of fun. Thanks to Roger M for most of these. (Click to enlarge picture)

Rounding up for the dance
The giant spud sets the stage
- Dawn has made her selection
Here’s some photos from our very green Spud night held in March. Not only were the decorations and outfits green but so was a lot of the food! The Spud caterers did an excellent job of keeping up with demand and a grand night was had by all. Begorrah!

What a great night’s entertainment that was!! We had singers, a dancer, some prose-reading and a couple of aspiring callers. Thanks so much to our acts – it takes a lot of courage to come on stage and perform in front of your friends. The mothers’ day supper was quite a feast too. Look forward to next year’s Idol offering – it’s becoming quite popular.
