15th Birthday Celebration

What a fabulous night of dancing and entertainment. This year we had my family, The Sirenics and D'Ban Jac singing songs that we could dance to, they did a great job learning all these new songs and with Debbie & Jacii  changing costumes to suit the songs, they looked great. Serenity sang for our skit and was very excited to learn this new song  and had already sung it at other gigs in preparation for our social, Simon had to sing more songs than the others, as most of the songs are sung by men, he did a great job learning them all, he's a man of many talents, he also did our sound and lighting for the night adding to the mood of the social,  we can't thank you all enough for helping make the night a fantastic occasion.


Another talent in my family is my husband Rob, who painted all our stage props and cup cakes decorating the isle of the hall and all the party signs, it looked absolutely stunning. He is already planning next year's theme for the stage (he's on a roll).

A big thank you to all the ladies who helped decorate the hall.
The committee worked very hard to make the night so memorable, what a committee we have.

Tracie Lee hosted the workshop this year and was very well attended, learning 4 new dances, 1 intermediate, it has great music, waltz intermediate and 2 beginner to easy intermediate, all interesting dances.
Tracie has a great personality and she is a fabulous teacher, thank you Tracie.

Our Friday night social with requests was a success, this will happen again next year.
Saturday night social had over 200 people, from Lithgow, Orange, Dubbo, Mudgee, Cowra, Sydney, Canberra, Milton, Sussex Inlet and our local area, thanks to you all for travelling such long distances to enjoy our annual social, hope to see you again next year.

We raised $3,100 and this money will go to our local hospital and the Australian Natural Disaster Relief Fund. Thanks to all who supported our raffles. The BBQ & 7 Piece Dining Setting was won by our committee member Lorraine Martin, congratulations Lorraine. Lorraine and her helpers spent nearly every week selling tickets for this raffle, once again thanks to everyone.
