Canberra Xmas in July

This year was the National Capital Boot Scooters 20th Birthday celebrations, what a fantastic weekend it was great to catch up with our friends from Canberra, Milton, Sydney and Illawarra.

Judy, Muriel and myself stayed with Jenny & Phil Bates with plenty of heating and electric blankets, which we were very grateful for as it did get to -4 degrees on the Saturday night, we arrived Friday about 2.30pm to a very wintery day although sunny it was lucky we were in the car with heating.

Starting off with the Friday Night Social. This was requests only so quite a variety of different dances on display, gives me plenty of choices to do for my classes.

Saturday morning Judy, Muriel and myself went for a bit of sightseeing and shopping, found lots of bargains, it is so easy to get in & out of parking areas in the big shopping areas so well spaced out and all in the one area.

Saturday afternoon the party starts about 2pm till 5.30pm with a wonderful celebration cake. I was asked to take a bracket of dances, which I thoroughly enjoyed doing, as was other instructors, this was a set program with quite a few easy dances and a few hard ones thrown in, this social was well attended and lots of fun.

The afternoon social finished, then we had our meal which was a roast dinner & dessert, absolutely delicious.

At 7pm the night social started, this was held much the same as the afternoon social, with different instructors taking a bracket of dances. These dances were a lot harder but all looked great with beautiful music. Also another celebration cake, glad we danced alot to take off those extra kilos.

A big thanks to Jenny & Phil for allowing us to stay in their home, thanks to Julie, Ben, Petra & Jenny for putting on a fabulous weekend of dancing and to all the Canberra folk who made us feel very welcome, your club is thriving and fun hope you all have many years of dancing fun. See you soon at another social.
