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.

We hold an annual “American Night” around the 4th July and theme the night with red, whites and blues. Supper includes mini hot dogs, apple pies and donuts and musically we take a journey through the states of America with the singing calls.

Here’s some photos of our dance this year. (Thanks to Hilda for the photos).

Adelaide Outlaws dancers at the Power of the Past rally - Milang

On Sunday Jan 24th, Graham & Dawn and a set of our dancers gave a demonstration of square dancing at the “Power of the Past” engine and car rally down at Milang on the shores of Lake Alexandrina (about 80km south east of Adelaide).

This rally is an exhibition of old engines, vehicles and memoribilia from the past. a collection of stationary engnes, tractors, vintage and not-so-vintage cars, motor cycles and collectables. We were thrilled to be asked and gave them a couple of brackets of dancing. On a beautiful warm day, dancing on the grass was fun but a little challenging with lumps and bumps. The crowd loved it and we enjoyed the chance to look at all the equipment on display too. Seems we weren’t the oldies after all!! Thanks to our set for coming all the way to do this:

Dawn, Barry, Brian, Mary, Ross, Margaret, John, Zaree, Eddie, Rosalie and Milton.

What a fantastic night it was! A great crowd of club members, new graduates and some visitors (family, friends). Congratulations to our graduates who received their certificates and a “welcome” pack from the Square Dance Society. Further presentations were made in subsequent weeks too as a few had been away and were catching up and a few off sick on the graduation night.

A big thanks to all who supported this program – the experienced dancers who came early to dance as “angels”, the committee who set up, Jan Stephens representing the Society and to everyone for making this night a memorable one. The supper spread was exquisite and the well made pizzas didn’t go un-noticed!

We welcome our new group at the Mainstream club on Monday nights and hopefully starting to venture out to other clubs & functions as confidence builds.
