(Click on thumbnails to enlarge)

Put on the food and they shall come! Combine that with a shopping experience and you’ve got it made!
Out annual pancake night was a great success with all you can eat pancakes being cooked right there in the hall. Non stop up until supper time and they kept coming back for more. Again we thank Kay and Scott from the Pancake King for doing an excellent job.
We also had the pleasure of hosting Yvonne from Durrant Shoes who set up het “pop up” stall at the back of the hall. By the looks of things, some satisfied customers were pleased with their new purchases.

2014 – Gen Y Dance Sessions


(Click on picture to enlarge then click on picture again)
On the first Monday of every month we hold a dance for “Gen Y” – younger people who just want to try square dancing and dance with their friends or make new ones.
We run from 6:30pm to 8pm and no experience is needed for any of these sessions. We vary the choreo and yet welcome newcomers any time.
The atmosphere is great and man, these guys and girls can move! Learning and dancing fast to some great music, there’s a lot of energy expended.
They usually finish off by nipping out for dinner somewhere close and having a good laugh about it all.
We’re still running these so watch out for notifications on Facebook. First Monday of each month – 6:30pm – 8pm. Spread the word.

February sees our annual Valentine’s Charity Dance and Pre-loved clothing sale. A big night and this year our chosen charity was the Parkinson’s Association of South Australia. This was in tribute to one of most long standing members and club president for many years, Ron New who we lost recently.
It was a colourful night as we all dressed in red and whites and danced to love songs. At the back of the hall we held our pre-loved square dance clothing sale, all adding to the fundraising for our cause. Thanks to all who came and supported the function and the charity.

As with many Aussies, we celebrated our National Day with a bar-b-que dinner with the added bonus of good night’s dancing to follow. Thanks to you all for coming and making it a great night. The BBQ cooked beautifully again by the Flagstaff Venturers and the hall looked great. Even had Aussie summer weather – hot outside but cool in so many ways inside!

Another Halloween rolls around and we go crazy decorating the hall and dressing up. This year we incorporated outr learners into the whole night and danced to the Hallowween songs and feasted on a VERY interesting looking supper. Thanks to all who came and the crew who helped set up and take it all down again.

2013 September 30th – Charity Night


(Click on pictures to enlarge then click again).
What a great crowd! We opened our doors to the public as a fund raising dance in support of the Cancer Care Centre. We ran a night of alternating teaching and Mainstream and threw in some mixer dances as well.
A great atmosphere and by all reports, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The President of the Cance Care Centre was there dancing the night away and said few words to welcome everyone and share an amazement at what square dancing really is – a whole lotta fun.
All proceeds from the night will be tallied up and presented to the Centre shortly and we thank all of you who came along and supported the night.
