2013 September 21st – 28th Birthday


(Click on pictures to enlarge)
We celebrated our 28th Birthday this year with a Spring Theme dance at the Slovenian Hall. It was a great night and we managed a mixed program to include our current learners (who have nearly finished Mainstream), Mainstream, Plus and some Rounds.
The stage looked blooming marvellous decorated up in flowers and pot plants. Thanks to the people who contributed to the collection.
A big thanks to visiting callers Les Tulloch, Jeff Seidel, Ian Rutter and John Casey and to Thelma McCue and Les for cueing some rounds.
The supper was an absolute smorgasbord and all in all the night was just a whole lot of fun.

We celebrated our Annual American Night on July 1st with a red-white-blue themed dance and the crowd really enjoyed themselves.
We danced a musical journey through the States of the USA and enjoyed a bountiful supper of mini hot dogs, donuts and apple pies.
Thanks everyone for joining us on that night – even if it was in actual fact Canada Day!! A fact Roger and Anne were quick to point out!

St Patrick’s Day was celebrated with a hearty spud meal before the dance. O’Laughlins Catering brought their famous spud van along and served an extraordinary number of spud meals to a happy group of dancers.
Before we launched into the dancing we were pleased to be able to present the fundraising cheque from our Charity night to two representatives of the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Rod and Sandy James (square dancers themselves!) received the cheque and thanked everyone for their donations. After hearing what it cost to keep a RFDS plane flying, we may have to run a few more charity dances!!
The rest of the night was a lot of fun with alternating brackets of learners and mainstream and everyone looked great in green dancing in the well decorated hall. Thanks to our committee and helpers for setting it up and packing away.

As February comes around we hold our annual Valentine’s Charity Dance. The scene is set with hearts and cupids decorations, the mood is set by dancing to love songs and the dancers are set in their reds and pinks to complement the theme.
As is custom we also operate a pre-loved square dance clothing sale during the night and this proved quite timely for our current group of dancers learning with us.
All proceeds from the night go to a charity we vote upon and this year it was the Royal Flying Doctor Service – a valuable asset to our rural communities.
Thanks to our helpers who set up the hall, to Nigel and Sheila who operated the the clothing stalls and to Alistair who provided his coffee machine as a welcome distraction.

2013 January 28th – Aussie Night


(Click on thumbnails to enlarge then click on new picture again)
And so the year is off to a flying start as we celebrate Australia Day on the public holiday Monday. As is our custom, we asked the local youth group, the Flagstaff Venturers, to supply and cook a BBQ tea for us. It helps us and they raise funds for their group as well.
Really nice to a see great crowd complete with Aussie colours of green and gold or flag colours.
The pavs for supper were just the icing on the cake (sorry!) and through the night we danced using some Australian music and songs.
Thanks to all who joined in and to our committee and helpers who helped us transform the hall.
Great to integrate our learners in the night with alternating brackets too – we all had a ball!

What a great way to finish up 2012! We put on a catered roast dinner and then ran a night of square dancing alternating levels for our Mainstream dancers and learners. There was a great crowd and really happy atmosphere. Thanks to Les Tulloch for dropping in and giving us a call and a couple of Rounds.
Looking forward to another year of fun at the Ouitlaws – we open again on Jan 14th at 8pm at learners level (but everyone’s invited) then on the 21st with learners at 7pm then MS at 8pm.
Have a great Xmas and New Year everyone – thanks for all your support.

Another fun filled and well supported Halloween dance was held at the end of October. Thanks to all who came, the floor was full and there were some great costumes.
We welcomed Makala form Oklahoma who dropped in for a dance during her nursing studies here in Adelaide.
And – what a spread for suppoer. Well done everyone.
