Here’s a quick video snippet:

We celebrated our 26th Birthday with a Black and White Ball and what a night it was! Nearly everyone frocked up – men with dinner suits that seemed to be working a little hard to close up and girls with their best evening gowns. Great to have visitors from the Acey Squares in Naracoorte and Ray Sedgeman from Victoria and big thanks to Les Tulloch, Milton Mackenzie and Jeff Seidel for joing in on the program. Also a thanks to Thelma McCue and Les for the Rounds. The supper was nothing short of sensational and I nearly got killed in the crush!

The stage looked dazzling with our silhouettes and dancing lights and a big thanks to the crew who helped us set up and pack away.

2009 September 26th – 24th Birthday

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Dancing through the Decades.

Our theme this year had a different decade for each bracket. Great to see so many dress to the theme with a wide variety of costumes. I’m not sure where the hillbillies came from though! A great atmosphere and fantastic support from all clubs. Thanks to Les Tulloch, Jeff Seidel, Thelma McCue for help on the program and a special guest appearance by “retired” James Reid.

A lot of help from the committee and other helpers made the hall and supper something to remember. Why I’m sure even our life sized Elvis was all shook up! Take a look at some of the photos of our caller Graham and the night of fun. Thanks to Roger M for most of these. (Click to enlarge picture)
