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.

2010 May 24th – Japanese Visitors

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

: Kiichi Ryoko and some Outlaws

: A night out at an Aussie Restaurant with Ned

: Ryoko making friends with Skippy

: Kiichi calling for us at the Outlaws

(Click on thumbnails to see full pictures)

We were thrilled to welcome a lovely couple from Nagoya in Japan – Kiichi and Ryoko Hayashi. They joined us at the Plus and Mainstream clubs and endeared themselves to everyone. We took the opportunity to show them around some of our native fauna on a weekend with a visit to Cleland National Park. We followed that with a dinner at Ned Kelly’s Retreat restaurant. For some reason, Ryoko was quite reluctant to eat something she had only just patted earlier in the day! Steaks were a must though and a welcome change from the fish and rice dishes they are used to. They had a wonderful time and were very charming. When we found out Kiichi also called, Graham put him on stage and he delivered a stirring hoedown. It’s always a great reminder of how universal square dancing is and borders just disappear. We wish them well on their remaining travels around Australia.

What an entertaining night it was! Eight brave souls put some time and all their inhibitions aside to perform for us on this Mother’s Day Adelaide Idol night. From singers to dancers and poets they gave us their best between brackets. Why even young Barry Kemp gave us a call.

Thankyou so much to our performers. You were great!

We also welcomed four visitors from WA and Doona from Victoria. It was a full on night topped off with the chocolate themed supper. A big thanks to those volunteers who helped set up the hall for us too!

2010 April 7th – Vale: Anita Kemp

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Anita and Barry

Sadly we have lost one of our dedicated club members and a good friend to many. Anita passed away on April 7th and we pay tribute to a lovely lady, mother and wife. We will miss you Anita and all those things you did for us at the club. She never wanted any recognition or thankyous for what she did – she just enjoyed helping out. A great asset to our committee and one who endeared herself to all who met her.

The funeral was lovely and was a “standing room only” event – a testament to her far reaching influence. You can read a little more in the tribute in the on-line Square Dancing magazine here.

Rest in peace Anita – you will always be with us.
