As we approach St Patrick’s Day we celebrate an Irish theme and serve spuds for tea. A lovely crowd joined us for pre-dance dinner and a fun night. Our learners are now only 2 weeks away from completion and also joined us for the dining extravaganza!
Thanks to the team of helpers who set up the hall decorations and dining arrangements.

St Patrick’s Day was celebrated with a hearty spud meal before the dance. O’Laughlins Catering brought their famous spud van along and served an extraordinary number of spud meals to a happy group of dancers.
Before we launched into the dancing we were pleased to be able to present the fundraising cheque from our Charity night to two representatives of the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Rod and Sandy James (square dancers themselves!) received the cheque and thanked everyone for their donations. After hearing what it cost to keep a RFDS plane flying, we may have to run a few more charity dances!!
The rest of the night was a lot of fun with alternating brackets of learners and mainstream and everyone looked great in green dancing in the well decorated hall. Thanks to our committee and helpers for setting it up and packing away.

As is our custom we held a Spud night for our St Patricks theme thsi year. Dancers enjoyed a catered spud tea before the dance courtesy of the spud van. Great to see everyone dress to the green theme too.

We had a special guest – Kathryn from the Guide Dogs brought in one of the beautiful dogs to accept the cheque donation from our St Valentine’s Charity night. She was thrilled and gave us a run down on what it takes to train these lovely animals. Both dog and caller behaved themselves on stage and we were proud to present them with the donation.

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.

A fantastic night of fun, food and great people! We celebrated St Patrick’s Day with a spud feast to start the night. Our spud caterers did a great job in feeding the five thousand (well it seemed like it!).

Most dressed in green and with Irish music between brackets and jigs for Round Ups it all added to a great atmosphere. Thanks to our committee and helpers who came in early to decorate the hall and clean up afterwards. It was all grand – indeed it was.
