2014 October 17 – 19, Weekend away to Wallaroo

(Click on thumnbails to enlarge)
A wonderful weekend as around 60 of our dancers converged on the Yorke Peninsula town of Wallaroo. Some time spent on walking tours, a lot of coffees and eating, mine tours in nearby Moonta and of course 2 dances in the beautiful Wallaroo Town Hall. A lovely weekend but most of all a great time spent with some lovely people – getting to know each other a little better.
Big thanks to Anne and Allan Tuckfield who prganised many of the activites and catered at various times. Fantastic!

(Click on thumbnails to enlarge, then click again)
Ah – c’est magnifique!
What a wonderful 29th Birthday celebration we had with our theme – Une Affaire Francais. Everyone dressed the part in some way and what a colourful collection of Berets. Strains of Edith Piaf and accordion music welcomed guests and we filled the hall with happy dancers. Thanks to Jeff Seidel, Les Tulloch, John Casey and Ian Rutter for joining in with the calling and to Thelma McCue for the themed Rounds.
Food – wow – plenty of croissants, crepes, French Onion Soup, eclairs, chocolat, cheeses etc to provide a welcome break in the night.
Big thanks too to all those who helped out making food, decorations and setting up, pulling down.
A memorable evening and we launch now into our 30th year. What a rush!

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!

(Click on thumbnails to enlarge and then click again)
Congratulations to our new graduates! It’s been a lot of fum and a lot of learning to master this mainstream program but we made it. A nice crowd was there to help welcome our new grads and it was a really lovely atmosphere. Thanks to Heather Wheeler (Society president) and Jan Stephens (vice president) for the welcoming words and “packs” presented. We welcomed a couple of interstate visitors, Con and Alma, from Mackay in Qld too. Special thanks to Les Tulloch who came along on request to set up gear for us as Graham had injured his back. Also thanks to John Casey and Ian Rutter for the calls on the night too.
Welcome to our newest members of the club and may you enjoy many years of fun and friendship with us!

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.

2013 September 21st – 28th Birthday


(Click on pictures to enlarge)
We celebrated our 28th Birthday this year with a Spring Theme dance at the Slovenian Hall. It was a great night and we managed a mixed program to include our current learners (who have nearly finished Mainstream), Mainstream, Plus and some Rounds.
The stage looked blooming marvellous decorated up in flowers and pot plants. Thanks to the people who contributed to the collection.
A big thanks to visiting callers Les Tulloch, Jeff Seidel, Ian Rutter and John Casey and to Thelma McCue and Les for cueing some rounds.
The supper was an absolute smorgasbord and all in all the night was just a whole lot of fun.

We celebrated our Annual American Night on July 1st with a red-white-blue themed dance and the crowd really enjoyed themselves.
We danced a musical journey through the States of the USA and enjoyed a bountiful supper of mini hot dogs, donuts and apple pies.
Thanks everyone for joining us on that night – even if it was in actual fact Canada Day!! A fact Roger and Anne were quick to point out!
