So this year it falls appropriately on July 4th and we celebrated with a red white and blue theme, hall decorations and hot dogs and donuts supplied for supper. We also danced our way around the states of America with songs from those areas or with state names iin them. Great crowd, great fun!

At the 2011 National in Darwin our club members combined with Wild Frontier and Kanella Squares to present one of the Dressed Sets representing South Australia. A sharp looking bunch I must say! (Thanks to Roger Marchant for the photo).

At our Eastter dance we invited dancers to perform for us. We had a great response, some called, some sang, some read to us. Here’s some snapshots of their performances:

We thank Ashley-Rose and Noel, Ian, Barry, Rosemarie, Kevin and Hilda for their contributions during the evening – great job!

As well as the performances, there were lashings of hot cross buns and chocolates for the Easter supper. All in all, a great crowd and a great atmosphere.

Our annual spud feast went over well as the spud van catered for the hungry hoardes of dancers decked in out green. Great crowd, great food and a fun night was had by all.

We also took the opportunity to wish Kerry and Neil all the best for their wedding in April.

Our annual Valentine’s Charity night was a lot of fun and succeeded in raising over $1,000 for the flood appeals. Door entry, raffles, sale of pre-loved clothing and donations all helped the cause.

Great to see so many red, white and pink outfits and we danced to love songs to mark the occasion. Thanks to a great bunch of helpers who helped us set the hall and particularly the clothing sale room – looked like a sale at Myers!

On the second night back for 2011 we celebrated Australia Day with our traditional BBQ and dance. Our thanks to the Flagstaff Venturers who supplied the meats and cooked the BBQ for us – great job as always.

The crowd looked great in Green and Gold and an assortment of other Australian colours or costumes. A few Aussie songs were thrown in the mix and Graham, dusting off the didgeridoo, rendered his version of Way Out West complete with a didge lesson for us all.

We were thrilled to welcome Lara-Mareike Jung from Germany who is travelling the world and had some time to drop in and say Guten Tag – G’day!

Thanks to all who came along and entered the spirit and to the helpers who set up the hall and cleared away.

So this is Christmas – look what we’ve done! What a great way to finish off our 25th year. A hall full of happy dancers and a great atmosphere! We celebrated our Xmas with a Roast Dinner catered by Ikonic Kitchen of Torrensville. Amazingly everyone was well fed ready for the dancing to begin. A big thanks to our committee and helpers who came Sunday night prior to set up and helped pack away at the end of a busy night. Thanks to Thelma for cueing some rounds for us and to Santa’s “helper” Chris Carter for making a Santa Sumo suit look so appealing!

Amongst many December birthday’s celebrated, the club presented Dawn with a her “pressie” for her big day and Graham was given his Xmas present despite still being on Santa’s naughty list (well nearly). Our new graduates are now part of our Mainstream club and it was great to see them joining in the full night for the first time.

We wish all our square dance friends everywhere a very Merry Xmas and Happy New Year and look forward to hitting the floorboards with you in 2011.

Special thanks to our club members who support us so well and made our 25 years such an enriching experience. We look forward to many more!

A new group of dancers were welcomed into the  world of Mainstream dancing on Dec 13th 2010. Congratulations to our new graduates – well done. Thanks to the great support of our regular dancers who came along to help celebrate the occasion too. Just in time for Christmas.  (Absent from the photo is Marie who couldn’t make it that night.)

Our annual Spooks Ball was a fun night. People really dressed the part and entered into the “spirit” of it all. Supper was anything but dull with some very creative, dare I say worrying, food on offer. Many Halloween songs and some creepy sound effects during the breaks. Great job by the committee and helpers in setting up the hall – particularly while the learners were underway.

We welcomed Alan and Jane Evans from Qld who were over for Kanella’s Plus Birthday and we enjoyed a bracket of Alan’s calling.
