We were thrilled to have a great crowd join us for our Silver anniversary dance. Thanks to you all for coming and thanks to our helpers who set up the hall and ran the catering.
We were presented with the Square Dance Society plaque to commemorate 25 years (thanks Don and Jan). Eddie Lee, our president, made a very nice presentation to Graham in the form of a hand made Silver Microphone Award. This echoes the formal badge award from the Australian Callers Federation and the Quarter Century Club Award from Callerlab in the USA. (Special thanks to Aubrey Barrot for the carving and handywork in making this). Graham finsished off this sectionwith a tribute to Dawn – the heart and soul of our club.
Great to have fellow callers Les Tulloch, Jeff Seidel and Trevor Hunt on the program and also Thelma McCue for the Rounds. Also nice to see Ray and Maya from Victoria.
Here’s to many more years!!
Dancing through the Decades.
Our theme this year had a different decade for each bracket. Great to see so many dress to the theme with a wide variety of costumes. I’m not sure where the hillbillies came from though! A great atmosphere and fantastic support from all clubs. Thanks to Les Tulloch, Jeff Seidel, Thelma McCue for help on the program and a special guest appearance by “retired” James Reid.
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.
