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.

We were thrilled to receive a return visit from Duke Okada from Osaka in Japan. Duke visited us back in 2006 and returned this year with his wife and two children for a brief holiday in Adelaide. In visiting both our MS and Plus clubs, we were priveleged to have him call. He has a smooth style and is very clear and he quickly endeared himself to our dancers. Their visit coincided with our Adelaide Idol easter Dance and I think they were quite entertained by the outstanding talent of our dancers.

Whilst here, we took the opportunity to expose them to some of the culinary delights that Adelaide has to offer and give them a sample of the Adelaide Festival with a tour of the “Northern Lights” display on Adelaide’s North Terrace.

We say “Arigato” (thankyou) and syonarrah to our Japanese friends and hope we shall cross paths again in the future.

Check out Duke’s club website on our “Square Dance Resources” links page. Why you might even spot some Aussies there!

A full-on night this one!! We’ll be serving spuds from 7pm. Please book if you’d like to join us for a spud tea.

We need your talent!! If you’d like to sing, read poetry, do a dance, perform magic, call a square dance or anything you’d like to share - please let us know. This is a chance to be part of the program and it is not being judged - it’s just for fun. Let Graham know as soon as possible so we can program the evening.

We have also just heard that a Japanese caller will be joining us on this night (and on the Wed Plus). You may recall Duke Okada who visited us about 18 months ago. He and his wife are coming over to Adelaide for a visit and we look forward to meeting them again and having him call.

So, spuds, various talents and a guest caller will make this a night not to be missed. We look forward to seeing you there.

Come and join us for our annual Valentie’s dance. Dress in reds and pinks and bring a basket supper. I believe strawberries are a nice shade of Valentine red! The proceeds of the night will be donated to a charity of your choosing. We have a voting sheet at the club if you would like to nominate a charity. Oh yes and of course there will be the obligatory love songs

Come join us for our annual aussie night dance on Monday January 28th. There will be a BBQ with salads provided at 7pm and the dance follows at 8pm. Please book asap if you want to join us for the BBQ so we can cater for you. The hall will be decorated in Aussie style and we guarantee an entertaining evening. Come along in Aussie clobber - green, gold colours and let’s celebrate Australia Day. (No thongs please mate!)

Cost for BBQ and dance is $6 members, $8 non-members.  All welcome!
