V.S.D.A. President's Report

Hi All,

Hope you all enjoyed the extra edition of the Sav. As you know, it was printed a different way due to our normal printer being on holidays over the Christmas period.

The VSDA will be holding their first meeting early February to commence the new year with some new ideas and plans for you all in Square Dancing.

The Bunnings BBQs are continuing with the plan to spread the word about Square Dancing is still alive and well, we have plans for more so keep an eye out- we may require your help either cooking or Dancing.

The State Convention is fast approaching. We now have session tickets for trial for Horsham so we will see how they go - as to whether to continue them for future conventions.

The AGM will be held in Horsham so if you would like to be part of the Committee please complete a nomination form.

It is also great to see a new advertiser in the sav advertising Cruisin' Country. Leanne is a dancer from NSW and has her own travel agency, and she can also book your next holiday - just give her a ring.

Not a lot more to report now but enjoy dancing.

Mark Kelly President VSDA

Do you know a member who could be cheered up or encouraged by receiving an appropriate card?

If so, please contact the V.S.D.A. Friendship Officer, Mary Beerens, on (03) 9308 0190 via email: [email protected]

Victorian Callers Association

LY1R_~jJ Round Dance Association of Victoria

" HAPPY NEW YEAR! We do hope you had a wonderful Christmas / holiday break and as the various clubs start to resume we now can all look forward to another wonderful year of dancing, socializing

and not to forget the great exercise we get along the way. The RDAV AGM was in November so our new committee, some new, some in the same positions, are starting to 'gear' up for 2018. We welcome Robyn Bousie as our new secretary and to Glenys Mallen as her assistant as minute secretary.

On behalf of the RDAV I wish to express our sincere condolences to Beryl Harcourt & family at the passing of Mike Harcourt in December. Mike was a very keen round dancer, a wonderful teacher and active on many of our committees over the years.

Our 1st Social dance is coming up on the 10th of February for Valentines Day at Pietro Rd. All levels and many rhythms of dancing to choose from, so we do hope to see some round dancers join in a most pleasurable evening of dancing.

We look forward also to the combined effort of all three associations presenting the 49th State Convention in Horsham in March. Session tickets are being trialled, so if you can't make it for the whole weekend perhaps join us for some of it.

For more information on Round Dancing please contact RDAV Secretary, Robyn Bousie, on 0417 159 106 or myself on 0407 814 686.

The year started on a high note for Jaybees when Janice, Des and the Whitehorse dancers paid us their annual visit. The committee provided wine and cheese, which was much appreciated and provided time for Jaybee and Whitehorse dancers to catch up with each other. Thankfully, the weather was kind to us, so dancing was comfortable.

Laurina Collyer has put together a marvellous video on Facebook to encourage people to join our new classes, which being the first Tuesday in February, from 7pm onwards. We are looking forward to our Family and Friends night, on Saturday 3 rd February. This is a perfect opportunity to bring new people into our activity. Our commiserations to Colin Collyer, who injured himself while on holiday and is currently languishing in hospital in Bordertown. We hope you come home soon, Colin.

Glen Waverley, Vic 3150

Our first night back and the temperature was in the high 30's all day. Lorraine and Mike went armed with card games, on the assumption that no one would be crazy enough to want to dance in an un-airconditioned hall for two hours! How wrong we were! Soon the dancers were rolling in and we ended up with two squares for the night. Not a bad start to the year! Many thanks to our dancers for joining us for the night.

We are starting a new Plus beginners' class on Thursday nights from 7pm at our Bogong Avenue Hall, so please contact Mike if you want to join us to learn or improve your Plus skills. Congratulations to Mike and Howard for a fantastic night of Plus on Saturday. They work so well together and created such a great atmosphere that no one wanted to go home.

Caller: Jaden Frigo 0359776682 0400878259

Our Christmas dances were all successful, nothing better than a night of festive songs followed by supper! Good crowds at all with our Peninsula dancers all supporting the other groups. Sadly we saw very few visitors from outside the clubs this year. We have now resumed for 2018 and once again enjoying some great dancing. New learners start in February so looking forward to another class of at least 40-50 hopefully!

We have a number of special dances happening early in the year - hop onto our website (www.mornpensquaredance.com) for more information. Our next major weekend is our Australiana Spectacular in April (see ad in previous editions). Registrations are well down at this stage - very, very few Victorians (outSide of our clubs) registered yet. If weekend registrations don't pick up then we'll no longer be able to offer special weekends. Be sure to register ASAP!


Club News PHILIP ISLAND SQUARES Caller: Graham Jameson 0397030309

Our club starts dancing again on 8 th February but many of our dancers plus callers gathered in early January to attend a memorial service for Stuart Farmer who passed away just before Christmas. Stuart and Joan were valued members of Island 8's for many years and then Phillip Island Squares until they retired from dancing a few years ago. Our condolences to Joan and her family.

If you're having a summer break on Phillip Island you'd be very welcome to come and dance with us.

January has been a quiet month for the club. The only dancing was a wellreceived demonstration dance at the local farmers market.

Two social events were attended by about 20 members at each. One was a dinner at a local hotel and a BBQ / Fishing afternoon at Donovan's. David Thomas had everyone excited when he hooked on to a good mulloway but turned out to be just under size.

During the month, we were all saddened to hear of the death of the father of one of our members and the death of a brother of another member.

Dancing starts in earnest in the 2nd of February. We are hoping that the work we have done will attract some new members to start off in the basic classes. As, in the case of previous years, there will be no cost for the dancing for the first month or so.

SOUTHERN CROSS PLUS & A Albert Park, Vic 3206

Caller: Howard Cockburn 039741 4501

Although we did not reopen until February, in January a number of dancers enjoyed some special events including the final Dosados and Two Steps. Congratulations to Pat and Mike who ran this event for 25 years. The Evening of Plus with Mike & Howard was also well attended and was a great night and a perfect way to start off the year of Plus.

Can you believe that on 1st March SCA will celebrate its 20 th birthday. If you are an Ai dancer we would love to welcome you along to help us celebrate this milestone.

Cheerio till next time.

We have had a great start for 2018. Both January dances have been well attended and lots of fun. IT was lovely to have Jayden join us for the first dance of the year.

Nice to see Michael back on the floor dancing again and not forgotten anything (despite his expectations). Colin still dancing but with his hand in a support strap. Also Susie on the mend after her operation .

Hexagons dancing is progressing well and we are adding more movements to our repertoire. Each move starts a little confusing but we are getting a lot better at quickly picking them up and the joy when it all works is so good to see.

Several of the ladies picked up some skirts, tops and petticoats that were brought to the club by Wally and Colleen on behalf of a past member. I am sure some of the ladies wardrobes must be getting full!

Currently we are working on a theme for our birthday in July but for now it remains a secret.

Our first dance in Feb will be a special Valentines theme - so wear red and white!
