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!!
Club Dinner – July 2019
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!
Club Dinners
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 June 10th – Pancake Night
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!
2019 May 23-26 – Weekend away to Kapunda, SA
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.
2019 May 13th – Mothers’ Day Dance
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.
2019 May – 60th National Convention in Tasmania
A number of our club members and other fellow South Australians attended and enjoyed the 60th National Square Dance Convention in Deloraine in Tasmania. This includes our sharp looking dressed set shown above in lavender. Thanks for being in our set at representing the club.
2019 April 22nd – Easter & graduation
Our annual Easter Dance was enhanced with the Graduation of our Intermediate dancers into Mainstream. Congratulations to Rosie, Clayton & Tianna – look forward to seeing more of you on the dance floor.
2019 March 18th – St Patrick’s Spud Night
As March rolls around, it’s time for our annual St Patrick’s Spud night. Thanks to O’Laughlins for providing the spud van and serving the hungry group. Great to see everyone dressed in greens and we enjoyed dancing to some Irish music – jigs and some songs.
2019 March 13th – Dance with Jerry Jestin
We had the pleasure of hosting a dance for Canadian caller Jerry Jestin. Jerry was on a world tour marking his retirement from calling and was catching up with all the people he has known over his 50+ years in the business. We were thrilled with the response and a wonderful crowd enjoyed Jerry’s night of Plus, Rounds and Mainstream dancing. Thanks to all who attended and for the very extensive supper spread!
