Milton Social

Late notice, the Milton Bootscooters are having a social on Saturday 16th April. This will be good for beginners to attend because it was Bev's Beginners who have been asking for a social.
The Theme is "Cows". I'm not sure what to wear for this, I don't have a cow outfit, but I might just wear something with the colour of cows.
Money raised from this social goes to the Cancer Council. Check out the Diary on the right hand side of this site for more information. Always a good time at these socials.

My Milk Maid outfit finally came out of the closet after 8 years

SHOALHAVEN HEADS DINNER NIGHT

Thursday night 7th April, this dinner was a farewell to Sue. Sue will be travelling around Australia with her husband for quite a few months, she may be back before xmas. Hope you have a safe & wonderful holiday (wish it was me travelling around). I'm sure you will be thinking of us dancing on Monday nights now that you have your music to listen to whilst travelling, so now you can practice the dances, so you don't forget them. We had about 18 ladies turn up to have a meal at the Bomaderry Bowling club for a beautiful meal. We will have to do this more often, a lovely night.

HOMEBUSH BALL

On the 2nd April, we headed off to the Homebush ball held at the Sports Stadium. The bus had pick up points starting from Ulladulla, Sussex Inlet, South Nowra, Bomaderry, Berry & Albion Park. The Shoalhaven Country Line Dancers had 10 Ladies travelling to this annual event.
We had a great time and we found that with the split floors, we were hardly off the floor. One of our ladies Judy had never been before, but she enjoyed it, as she didn't think she knew many dances, but they always have a good mix of dances (Old & New, Easy & Hard) so she was on the floor for quite a few dances.
The social started at 5pm & went till 12pm, by the time we got back on the bus and headed off home, with a pit at Albion Park, it was about 3am when we arrived home.


Some people just can't hack the pace. Pauline catching a few zzz's before we danced

April

Hi Everyone,
ALAN JACKSON
Another month gone by very fast. Not a lot happened in March except a fabulous concert with American Country Singer Alan Jackson. What a night, the Acer Arena was packed to the rafters (pardon the pun) literally.
The section in front of the stage was bombarded with admiring fans standing in front of those who paid top dollars to have a birds eye view of Alan, these people had to stand for the entire show. So I will never pay top dollar for front row seats.
The best seats are the elevated seats around the sides & back, you are further away but the Arena has huge screens so you don't really need binoculars (I took mine anyway).
Thanks again to Margret & Richard Pacitti who allowed us to stay at their house.
