2019 July 11th – High tea in the Barossa

Leave a reply
  • The high tea – group 1
  • A high view of the high tea
  • We had some lucky wheel spins!
  • C’mon Alistair, it doesn’t cost much!!
  • The high tea group 2
  • And the second group gets comfortable
  • This is the way to listen to a talk!

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!!

  • We owned that restaurant that night!
  • Happy diners
  • A Nepalese Bailey’s Ice Cream Graeme??

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

2019 May 23-26 – Weekend away to Kapunda, SA

A video compilation of our weekend away

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.
