Back Home from Holidays

Hello back again, I really missed Line dancing and Rock & Roll, it's good to catch up with friends. Leanne & Baby Madison are both going very well,  she has the cutest chubbiest cheeks that I couldn't stop kissing, it was very hard to leave my family in Queensland I will miss them terribly.

Well it's back into the usual routine learning more dances, can't wait to teach the new dances coming up, at the moment we are working on the dances selected for the Homebush Ball,

We have had another busy month, plenty of socials and birthday parties every weekend had something happening, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Jenny from Sussex Inlet had her annual social on the 25th & 26th May, Friday night was a meet & greet social with requests and Saturday afternoon Gordon Elliott ran the workshop with some great new
dances I have already taught 2 of these dances, then Saturday night everyone dressed up in their best
burlesque attire and looked fabulous, photos below.

October Social

Another social for the year, this time we were off to Milton with Helen Reeson, this was another fund raiser. This was well attended and quite a few of our ladies & Rob(Hoover) turned up for another toe tapping day

Activities for November

Aloha everyone,

Well our holiday to Hawaii has come and gone (all too quickly). We had 10 ladies all looking forward to the trip and we thought we might be able to relax and soak up the sun, ha ha it's what we would have like to have done but there are so many shops to see and clothes over there are very cheap.

We all bought heaps of things for our families and ourselves, that most of us had to buy another suitcase to bring back our goodies, lucky the airline allowed 32kgs and 11kgs carry on luggage.

We had two fantastic days of tours, the first one was Pearl Harbour, very interesting and we walked through the ship called the Missouri, I would have liked to go through the submarine, (maybe next trip).



























The next tour was around the island of Oahu, spectacular, we took lots of photos of this beautiful island, there is so much to see. The Chinese Temple was awesome with a creek full of Coi Fish & Swans







Activities for October


Another social for the year, this time we were off to Milton with Helen Reeson, this was another fund raiser. This was well attended and quite a few of our ladies & Rob(Hoover) turned up for another toe tapping day of dances. Thanks for a great afternoon Helen.

Chromefest was later in the month, we had a lovely apartment on the river at The Entrance and overlooking the ocean and park where everything was happening right at our doorstep, what a great spot. We shared the apartment with Richard & Margaret and Carol & Ken, we all got along very well and had a great time, sitting on the balcony enjoying a glass of wine (or 2) and watching the events unfold before us.

There is plenty of talent showing off their Rock & Roll moves and saw the bands playing Rockabilly & Swing music, they were great. We travelled up the coast in Richard's fancy Thunderbird left hand drive and very comfy.

Looking forward to November as my holiday to Hawaii is getting closer.
