September Annual Spring Ball

The weekend started off with a meet & greet social on Friday Night, a good roll up with requests, heaps of old dances with a few new dances as well, but the old favourites never seem to die.

Linda Burgess was host for our Saturday afternoon Workshop, teaching 6 dances, with a good mix for different levels of dancing

After every one had left the hall, the committee and helpers went to work to transform the auditorium into a bright and colourful scene to put everyone in the mood for some great dancing

The Saturday night social started at 6.30 with everyone looking bright and cheery in florals and bright colours. This year Dance Instructors were asked to take a bracket of 5 dances each, this gave me the opportunity to socialise with visitors from Lithgow, Sydney, Canberra, Crookwell, Candelo, Townsville, Milton and also our locals.

The entertainment this year was The Shoalhaven Shufflers performing two dances with fancy costumes and looking pretty in those charlston dresses and Simon Pavitt with his fantastic voice singing a medley of Frank Sinatra songs.

This annual event is a fund raising night with a few of our ladies selling raffle tickets through out the year to raise money for our local hospital and also local charities.

Congratulations to Muriel Jones who took out the raffle prize for two nights in Darling Harbour plus $300 spending money, a few of us might be able to gate crash your fun Muriel and join you for this weekend.

I would like to thank everyone for coming along for this special night and hope to see you again next year on the 11th & 12th September 2015
