Our annual celebration of Fathers Day with a blue theme and a huge supper of savouries and sweets. The Fatherly theme carried through in the decorations (artist = Diana).
Our SA State Convention this year was held at Naracoorte – about 4hrs drive south of Adelaide. Here are some photos from that weekend of our dancers and friends. Also a brief video of our club caller, Graham, calling with Outlaws dancers in the crowd.
This month we enjoyed a Mongolian Barbeque at the Kublai Khan Restaurant at Parkside. It’s essentially all you can eat and you select the ingredients and sauces and they cook it on a large wood fired BBQ plate. A great night out for our members.
Our celebration of Bastille Day.
French costumes, food (and plenty of it) and music. A mix of learners and Mainstream.
We took up an invitation by local furniture manufacturer Wohlers to have a free high tea in their stores. The proviso was that we would have to listen to a talk on their range of comfy chairs – while sitting in them!! No problem – so we chose the store at Tanunda in the Barossa Valley and had a great day’s outing. As you see, the chairs were comfy enough to encourage some nap time!!
Our July Dinner was held at the Yeti Nepalese Restaurant on Goodwood Road. A small place that was completely filled with our club dancers. Interesting selection of spicy, curry and not so spicy food. Some great socialising too!
Recently we instigated the idea of using the 2nd Wednesday in each month for a club dinner outing. This is the night our Plus club is normally closed (due to hall availability). Each month someone will suggest a local restaurant and we make a group booking. A nice way to socialise away from the business of a dance night.
These photos were taken at Lim’s Chinese restaurant in Glenelg in June
Our annual Pancake night came around and again we enjoyed the cooking and antics of The Pancake King (Scott and Kay). It’s as much fun catching the pancakes as eating them! Great to have our learners and experienced dancers join in all the fun!
In May 2019, our club enjoyed a weekend away in Kapunda, a small historic mining town about 1-1/2 hours drive north of Adelaide.
The weekend consisted of walking tours, drive along tour, a walk thru the mine area, an aviation museum and a tour of a magnificent homestead kept in the 1800’s style. Of course as you’ll see in the video there was a lot of eating in hotels, a BBQ, breakfast at a dancer’s home, more hotels (one even haunted!). And it wouldn’t be a club function without square dancing and we held a Fri night casual dress dance and a Saturday night square dance dress night all in the Kapunda Institute – Soldiers Memorial Hall.
Celebrating Mothers’ Day in May. Dancers dressed in pinks & floral decorations in the hall. Good to have Jaden Frigo form Victoria drop in and dance and call for us.
