What a fantastic night it was! A great crowd of club members, new graduates and some visitors (family, friends). Congratulations to our graduates who received their certificates and a “welcome” pack from the Square Dance Society. Further presentations were made in subsequent weeks too as a few had been away and were catching up and a few off sick on the graduation night.

A big thanks to all who supported this program – the experienced dancers who came early to dance as “angels”, the committee who set up, Jan Stephens representing the Society and to everyone for making this night a memorable one. The supper spread was exquisite and the well made pizzas didn’t go un-noticed!

We welcome our new group at the Mainstream club on Monday nights and hopefully starting to venture out to other clubs & functions as confidence builds.

Back in January we received a visit from a German couple, Michael and Karin Steinhorst from Berlin. It was indeed good timing as they arrived for our annual “Aussie Night” and got a real taste of an Aussie BBQ, Aussie music and Aussie hospitality. Michael calls for the Berlin Square Ups club and entertained us with his calling at out MS club.

Arriving on the weekend prior to the dance gave us a chance to show them around our state a little with a trip to Victor Harbor.
