 Here’s some photos from our very green Spud night held in March. Not  only were the decorations and outfits green but so was a lot of the food! The Spud caterers did an excellent job of keeping up with demand and a grand night was had by all. Begorrah!

2009 May 11th – Adelaide Idol – Mothers Day dance

singer_100What a great night’s entertainment that was!! We had singers, a dancer, some prose-reading and a couple of aspiring callers. Thanks so much to our acts – it takes a lot of courage to come on stage and perform in front of your friends. The mothers’ day supper was quite a feast too. Look forward to next year’s Idol offering – it’s becoming quite popular.

Our annual charity dance raised over $1,000 for the chosen charity – the Victorian Bushfire Appeal. Thanks to all who donated either through door admission, raffle and/or purchase of pre-loved square dance clothing.

It was great to see such a large attendance and beautifully decked out in red and whites. The red-themed supper was a treat too – thanks to those who went to some effort to bring something along.

Well it was certainly an Aussie summer night as we gathered around for our BBQ and dance.  A 37 degC day but fortunately our hall airconditioning works well.

It was a great crowd and all heartily got stuck into their tucker at their tables. A big thanks to the Flagstaff Venturers who again cooked for us and used this as a fundraiser.

The hall looked great and thanks to the committee who tethered up all the Aussie animals and hung our flags. Nice to see the green and gold colour schemes and Aussie theme in your outfits too.

Annual General Meeting – Mon November 10th

Scones anyone??So the thought of an AGM seems so dry, so business like eh? Well come to ours and see that it is really quite fun and oh so short! In fact to stop people talking too much we provide scones, jam and cream!

We always welcome people to join our committee and help us organise our functions. It’s a lot of fun and we don’t meet that often. Like to give something back to square dancing? Join our committee and add an extra dimension to your square dance experience. You’ll find it quite rewarding.

The AGM will be held during the supper break around 9:30pm so interruption to dancing time is minimal.

Our annual Hallowe’en dance was held on Mon 27th October and what a great atmosphere. Great costumes and a big thanks to the committee and helpers for setting the scene with the amazing hall decorations. Also some very imaginative food!!

Here’s some photos of the interesting array of outfits on the night. (Click on photos to enlarge).

Around The World

What a great night it was as we celebrated our 23rd Birthday!

Thanks to so many who contributed – the committee and helpers for decorating the hall (a big job in that hall), all the dancers who dressed up to the theme – you looked great – and to Steve Turner, our feature caller. Steve did a great job and showed why he is well respected as a great caller. Thanks also to Les Tulloch for the cueing.

Here’s some photos taken on the night. (Click on photo to enlarge)
