Our SA State Convention this year was held at Naracoorte – about 4hrs drive south of Adelaide. Here are some photos from that weekend of our dancers and friends. Also a brief video of our club caller, Graham, calling with Outlaws dancers in the crowd.

2019-08 Club Dinner
This month we enjoyed a Mongolian Barbeque at the Kublai Khan Restaurant at Parkside. It’s essentially all you can eat and you select the ingredients and sauces and they cook it on a large wood fired BBQ plate. A great night out for our members.
2019 July 11th – High tea in the Barossa
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 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!

A video of the night – This video is of Graham calling to the Monster Mash (“it’ll be the death of me” he says!). Also a short clip at the end of a hoedown snippet.
HALLOWE’EN – As many clubs do, we held a Hallowe’en theme night last Mon 29th Oct. Learners, intermediates and Mainstreamers alike dressed the part and enjoyed the decorations, music and the food – oh yes, the food!

Well, love is in the air! Certainly at the Adelaide Outlaws Square Dance Club!
We celebrated another wedding – this time two of our Intermediate (nearly Mainstream) dancers, Brett and Mai.
Following a wedding in the Veale Gardens on the South Parklands, they came along to the club Monday night and we celebrated with another wedding arch. We’re getting quite good at these now!!
2018-09 Robert & Heather tie the knot
Robert has been dancing with us for 13 years and Heather joined our learners intake in 2017. She’s now a fleet-footed Mainstream dancer and their eyes met across the crowded dance floor ….
Married on Wed 26 September and enjoying the dance of marriage!
We celebrated at the club with a wedding arch the Monday after.
Congratulations!!

We turned 33! A real fun night as we celebrated our 33rd Birthday with a Rock’n’Roll theme. Thanks so much to the helpers who decorated and ran the catering and to the visiting callers – Les, Ian and John. Rock and Roll music, decorations and outfits kept the place buzzing.
