Graham & Dawm receiving their naughty list from club President Eddie.
To paraphrase Frankie Valli – “Oh What a night!!”. A fantastic crowd gathered for our last dance for 2009 and the atmosphere was electric. We Welcomed our learners to join us for a night of learners level, Mainstream and even some rounds. We kicked off with a catered dinner at 7pm and it was like the feeding of the five thousand. With swift arrangement of staged servings and some dancing we managed to get everyone fed with some great chicken and salads and still have plenty of time for dancing.
Our learners were with us most of the night and everyone danced their hearts out. The hall looked great and thanks to some great helpers setting up the previous night and then before the dance, the hall really looked festive.
It wouldn’t be an Outlaws Christmas without Santa entering the hall in another unusual mode of transport and this time, the centuries of racing around on Xmas eve had taken their toll – Santa arrived on a gopher! Me thinks Santa seemed to enjoy the ride as he steadily lapped the hall whilst the helpers gave out the treats. We noticed he then seemed to get more creative with his driving, looping around asnd reversing to the crowd’s delight. Bit if a lad our Santa.
Santa in his "Gopher" wowing the crowd.
It was a memorable evening and to top it off, Dawn had her Birthday on that night and was presented with a beautiful basket from the club. she worked so hard on the night keeping it all co-ordinated, the pressie was well deserved.
Thanks to all who attended, dressed in Xmas colours, brought the sumptuous desserts for supper, helped clean up and most of all, supported us during 2009.
We wish you all the best for the holiday season and look forward to more fun in 2010.
This makes the feeding of the five thousand seem like a family picnic! We again invited the Pancake King and his serving maiden to cook and dish out as many pancakes as a gathering of square dancers could eat. A big ask of anyone! So many enjoyed the fare and were seen queueing up for seconds, thirds, fourths and more. Scott and Kaye - the Pancake King and assistant, did a great job and I think this year his aim is improving or dancers are getting better at catching the flipped crepes. Here’s some photos… (click on image to enlarge)
We’re opening up a new learners dance commencing Oct 12th, 19th or 26th. See details on website LINK
Please help us spread the word and show more people the real enjoyment that is square dancing. New intakes taken for the first three weeks.
Mainstream will be closed Monday July 13th.
Plus will be closed Wed July 15th (note July 8th is normal 2nd Wed closure).
Dawn & Graham will be in Buderim running the Square Dance centre there. Should be fun!!
What 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.
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.
Our club opening dates for 2009 are:
And so another year draws to a close! All square dancers are welcome to our Christmas break up parties. Come and celebrate the Festive season with some good friends, dancing, great music and food to feed the hungriest of party animal.

Wednesday Plus Club – Wed December 17th. 8:00 – 10:00pm. Kilburn Hall.
Have a very Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year and thanks for all your support during the year.
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.
