Xmas Party November 2012

What a great night we had, with everyone requesting their favourite dances, also we had lucky door prizes won by Chris Boese from Bomaderry class & Angela Meredith from Sanctuary Point class.

Also there were quite a few visitors from Sydney & Milton who attended for the first time and everyone seemed to have a good time.

I will post photos soon.

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.

September Annual Social

What a weekend we had, loads of dancing, entertainment and laughs a big thanks to all the girls on the Committee for all their hard work in organising this annual event, the table decoration were beautiful thanks Rhonda & helpers, All the stage props done by Rob my husband certainly cheered up a very dull room and gave the place a good atmosphere. Thanks to Simon my nephew who did all the sound and lighting for the night and sang a couple of songs from Phantom of the Opera and I was told one of our ladies had tears, that is what a good singer will do to you.

Kate Simpkin the host for our workshop did a fantastic job teaching all four dances in the two hours  that I'm sure are suitable for all levels of dancers. We had about 70 people turn up for the workshop and about 250 turn up for the social.

We look forward to our next annual social always the second weekend in September.

Hi Everyone,

Well another month has flown by, we are now ready for our annual social, lots of work has been done by our committee to see that everything runs smoothly for this event. A big thanks to Rob(my husband) who has worked tirelessly on all the props for the stage and the hall, looking very colourful up in our back shed at the moment!!!!!!  We have learnt lots of dances so that everyone gets a chance to be on the floor more often, all the ladies that are taking part in the skit, have been practicing over the last couple of months and gaining confidence with the moves they have learnt. Keep up the good work even though it is only for 4 minutes then it's over for another year.

Another 10 days and Leanne and little Madison will be venturing down this way again for a month, it will be lovely to kiss & cuddle those chubby cheeks.

Saturday night the 25th August we all set off to the country club for the Annual Staff Function where quite a lot of talent works behind the bars, they showcased their singing skills and also had wonderful stage show with lots of colourful props, these guys are gaining confidence in themselves with the help from Debbie, Jacii, Simon & Ren (all Professionals) helped make this night very special, looking forward to next year.

Lots of socials coming up please check out the diary, I have updated this again, no wonder the year goes so fast nearly every weekend there is something to do.
