May

To start May off, a demo was done at the Lady Denman Markets on the 7th May. About 17 ladies turned out for this demo, although it was a little dissapointing that there was not a lot of people at the markets, but that's life, we enjoyed it anyway. Thank you to all the ladies who joined us for this demo.
Collette joined us for her first open air demo, she was a bit nervous but she did very well.

The following weekend the 14th was a Rock & Roll Demo at Jervis Bay Market Day, with about 8 couples dancing to show off their skills that they have been learning over the last 2years or more. This was in the school hall, it's good to dance on a good floor for a change.

The next function I will be attending is Canberra Social on the 28th May, I go to this social every year, we learn new dances and have a great time catching up with all the friends we haven't seen for a while. I will fill you in with all the details when I get back.

Easter Parade

Easter has come and gone, boy the year is going so fast.!!!!!!!
We started of the day with a parade down the main street of Huskisson. The truck never showed up, so
plan B was put into action. We had two cars Rob's station wagon was decorated with our banner & cute little teddy bears, Rhonda's husband's car was next, with lots of cut out cows & chickens, tree branches and two of our ladies Ruth & Yvonne in the back of the ute throwing easter eggs to the crowd.

About 22 line dancers walked behind the ute, whenever the parade stopped we did "Bootscootin Boogie" as a bit of a showcase for the crowd.
Walking behind us was the Shoalhaven Rock & Rollers, again, whenever the parade stopped they danced to the music we had playing.
The weather stayed perfect for the day, it was looking a bit dicey in the morning but the clouds dissipated after a while to a beautiful day.
We had a demo in the park after the parade, then the Rock & Rollers performed, then our group joined them to do Stray Cat Strut.
Every weekend in April was filled with functions to attend, hopefully May will be a little bit quieter.

Happy Birthday to Margaret Lee

On the 9th April we had a celebration for Margaret who turned !!!!!!!!!!! Another milestone acheived. We had a great time, the party was held by the Shoalhaven River in an old barn with heaps of character. The weather was perfect not to hot & not to cold.
Some of the girls had to dance!!!! Once the music was on they cannot help themselves. You can view a slide show with more photos of this day, click on the links page or if you click on my photo, top right hand side this will lead you to our line dancing website.

We had to leave the party early as we were the opening act (Thriller) for the staff function at the St Georges Basin Country Club.
This turned out to be a fantastic night, with plenty of entertainment. It was a family affair with the Sirenics(Simon & Serenity), D'BanJac(Debbie & Jacii) my nephew & niece singing some lovely songs, my husband Rob was also stage manager for the night, running around in circles as he had never done this before, but Simon was proud of his achievment. Garry James also dragged out his trumpet which had been in the closet for many years and produced a great sound, he still hadn't lost his touch.
