March Homebush Social

We had a great time at the Homebush Social, 15 ladies from Shoalhaven Country Line Dancers decided to go this year, hopefully more for next year, there would have been about 700 people at the social enjoying the variety of dances. I picked up a couple of popular dances and have already taught 2 since the Social. The theme was purple and there was lots of different shades of purple and the hall looked great with this colour.

I will post the photos soon.

March

This looks like we are going to be as busy as February.

Starting the month off with a demo at Coastal Waters Nursing Home, We had 10 ladies helping to entertain the elderly, who all seemed to be enjoying the noisy & talented crew we have, thanks girls for coming along.

Then we have the Milton Social celebrating their 15 years of dancing, this is a Hawaiian Theme should be lots of fun, I wish I was going but I have a weekend in Merimbula which has a rock & roll festival, with lots of dance socials & workshops, also showcasing lots of Vintage Cars. Can't wait this will be our first time at this festival. Hopefully have lots of photos to display soon.

We had a fantastic time in Merimbula you could not have asked for better weather. We had socials Friday, Saturday & Sunday Night with a farewell meal. The Fender Benders & Shadoogie were the bands that played over the weekend and Stan the Man kept us entertained at Sapphire Caravan Park, the whole weekend was terrific.

February

Well another month gone to quickly. February was full of socials & parties, looks like March will be much the same.

Early in February we had a BBQ at Maureen & Phil Carter's place to celebrate their first year on the south coast. The party was well attended with a few folk from Sydney including Julie Talbot & Hubby & Margaret & Richard Pacitti with a few of their class members. Majority were from Sussex Inlet Linedancers that Maureen attends these days, also a few Rock & Rollers joined us as well. We had plenty to eat & drink, with a few games thrown in as well, Darts, Boule, Coits.

The following Saturday we joined the Huskisson Bootscooters for a great day of fundraising for Relay for Life and lots of fun dances. It was good to see Maggie & Carole from Coastal Waters we soon had them on the floor doing "I Love A Rainy Night" and a few other dances.

Later on the same day a few of us went to Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre to see the Buddy Holly Show. This was fantastic, the main singer can certainly play a guitar and had a great voice as well. Well worth seeing!!!!!!!

2013 Happy New Year to you all

Hope everyone had a great Xmas & New Year. I won't mention what happened with our xmas day, even though I spent the day in bed because my lovely grand daughter decided to share her tummy bug with the whole family & this being her first xmas what a way to celebrate this special day, wait till she turns 21 

We have kicked off the New Year going over dances we did last year to get the brain cells working again. There are a lot of dances. In January we taught "Beautiful In My Eyes" Simon Ward's dance which overwelmed everyone with the music & grace of this dance, a definate for every class.

A group of us went to Braidwood early February to learn the dances taught in Tamworth, now we have more fun dances to teach, We stayed overnight at a very nice Motel at the end of the main road, so it was nice & quiet with plenty of room.

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
