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.

As is our custom, our Valentine night was also a fund raiser. This year the vote was for the Beyond Blue initiative - an organisation that assists people with depression. The door takings, raffle and sale of pre-loved square dance clothing raised just over $1,000 for this organisation. The hall looked beautiful with the hearts and cupids. Thanks to all who joined us and dressed to match in the red, whites and pinks. It was a great atmosphere and of course set to music with the “love” theme – romantic and raunchy!

We had the pleasure of welcoming square dancers from Leipzig in Germany – Dietmar, Birgit and their daughter Silvia. Whilst mum and dad spoke only broken English, Silvia acted as interpreter and was amazed by this wonderful thing called square dancing. A wonderful family – so friendly and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We love the fact that this is an international dance form!
