PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Hello Everyone,
By all accounts the Outlaws weekend at Kapunda was very good, with interesting
tours including one spooky local pub, great dancing and plenty of rain.
T&T Rounds celebrated their 28th Birthday in June, congratulations to Thelma and
her dancers, it was a good day of round dancing and lots of fun.
Currently many learner classes are being run across the State, I’m enjoying
helping these new dancers at both Adelaide Outlaws and Diggers Delights, the
learners are having a good time and some are picking up the moves very well.
It’s with sadness I must report that Life Member and former Society Treasurer
Allan Penhall has passed away. He did a lot for square dancing including serving
as Society Treasurer for a total of ten years and a key supporter of the
Allemanders program. He will be missed by many of us, a good man who was
well liked by all.
Scoot Backs 8th Birthday on the 14th June was a very pleasant night and everyone
had a great time.
Don’t forget the Society membership fees are now due, renew to get your
discounts on the State Convention and Society dances for the year. Talking about
Society dances our July dance is at the Marion RSL 13th July, starting with Round
Dancing, Plus and then Mainstream, don’t forget to bring a plate for supper
please, details on page six.
Thank you

SASDS COMMITTEE NEWS
Great news – at last a supplier has been found in the USA for the Learner Books.
An order has been placed and we will soon be in touch with Clubs about
availability.
Red, white & blue decorations to suit the British theme will be up at Marion RSL
on Saturday 13th July for the Callers and Society dance. Come & join in the fun.
SASDS Membership is now due, check out the flyer on your club noticeboard for
all the information and benefits. your Club representative has forms for renewing

Registration numbers are building up for our State Convention at Naracoorte on
the last weekend in August. The conveners report that although all caravan park
cabins are booked, there is still plenty of accommodation available. If you need
help to register with TryBooking, just ask at your club.
Dawn Elliott informed the Committee that during the National Convention in
Deloraine, Graham Elliott presented South Australia’s bid to host the 63rd National
Square Dance Convention in 2022. This was accepted and congratulations to the
team involved in the bids preparation. Everyone will look forward to more news! A
vote will be taken at the July 13 SASDS/SACA dance to formally elect the group
who looked at venues and put the bid together. They would then become the 2022
National Convention committee.
Cheers, Pauline
FROM THE EDITORS DESK
As editor I enjoy reading about all the hard working committees that support our
wonderful callers, there’s a few examples in this issue. Recently Maryka and I
attended the 23rd Birthday weekend of the Geelong Square Dancers. For this
celebration the dancers and their caller Darren Taylor had run numerous Bunnings
sausage sizzles to raise money so that American caller Pat Carnathan could be
guest caller on this special occasion. Darren and Pat have a strong friendship after
Darrens visits to the USA, Pats presence was the highlight of the weekend for
Darren and was only possible with the amazing support of his committed dancers.
Of course you don’t have to be on a committee to be involved, the regular
dishwasher or chair stacker also show their support for their club and caller and
reflect the comradery of our wonderful Square Dance community.
Happy reading, Stephen

Both clubs have celebrated their birthdays during May & June.
On 19th May Sunset Twirlers celebrated their 24th Birthday and
on 2nd June T & T Rounds celebrated their 28th Birthday.
Attendances were good and both were enjoyable evenings of
fun and friendship. Whilst both these birthdays are not
significant it took me some time to realise that there is actually
something special happening here. In the history of round
dancing clubs in this state, we have not had any clubs reach 20 years before.
Now we have two clubs who have both passed this milestone, with T & T Rounds
now over 25 and Sunset Twirlers set to achieve 25 during 2020. So congratula-
tions to both clubs on your birthdays, and to Don & Jan Stephens on 10 years of
Round Dancing.
The date has been set for our 17th Round Dance Festival to be held on 3 & 4
October 2020. Our festivals are only held ever 2nd year so this amounts to 34
years in total and as far as I know it is the longest running round dance event in
Australia, and well known for our Choreographers Showcase where local
choreography is presented. Congratulations to Anne Tulloch who has been ap-
pointed Convenor.
On 15 June 2019 we had our AGM and the following people were elected to the
committee Anne Tulloch, Vice President, Pat Markwick, Secretary and Thelma
McCue, Susan Boyle & Terri Pearce as committee members.

Nothing like a feast and a dance and our Pancake Night was
just that. Again our regular “Pancake King” cooked and flipped
pancakes most of the night and these were served with an
assortment of toppings. Great to have our new learners taking
part in the fun too. Thanks to all who came along - we hope
you enjoyed the food and fun.
Coming up shortly will be our French night. We’ll celebrate
Bastille Day with red, white and blue colour themes and we’d
love you all to join us. Berets and stripes are in order and a
little French music too.
This will be followed by our annual Fathers’ Day dance in September where the
theme is blue and our gentlemen members are afforded free admission.
Then, before you know it - it’s our 34th Birthday. Looking forward to our Roaring
20s theme and it will be held in our Macedonian Hall on a Saturday night. Please
enter the spirit of things by dressing up and it will be a basket supper.
Recently we have been enjoying our new “Second Wednesday” dinner outings. On
the night when the Plus club isn’t open, we have an open invitation to join us for
dinner at local restaurants. A nice way to socialise.

We welcomed visitors during May with Ranata and Jens from
Mountain Devils Square Dance club in NSW on their way
home to Sydney.
Eileen, Frank and Teresa with three children called in on their
way home to Greenfinches club in WA. The children had a
delightful time making origami creatures whilst Mum and
grandparents danced.
Welcome back to John and Lynnette after a couple of weeks travelling Queens-
land and NSW. Safe travels to Stuart and Bernie as they venture to the UK for a
few weeks.
A few of our dancers trav-
elled to Geelong over the
June long weekend.
What a fabulous birthday
event for Darren and the
Geelong Dancers with Pat
Carnathan from USA.
Thankyou for a terrific
weekend.
We look forward to Xmas
in July in the Coonawarra.
Lets see if the jolly fellow
in red calls in.
Even though early bird
has closed there is still
plenty of time before 22nd August to register for our birthday and the SA State
Convention.
Best of luck keeping warm. Alan & Chris
10JVC Square Dance members are still dancing. In the last two
weeks we have had a full square to dance and last week Jock
danced very well as a right hand dancer. Unfortunately one of
our couples has gone to Queensland for three months so we
may be struggling again for a while. Luckily with the help of a
few pills I may have to dance and call as well. As we are not dancing in July we
have ceased the flyer drop and will recommence at the end of July – about 2000
of the 4000 have been done.
Happy Dancing Everyone Jacqueline and John. https://jvcsquaredance.com
DIGGERS Our dancers are a mixed between Mainstream, Mainstreamers
that are returning and ten learners. We are dancing two sets
DELIGHTS most mornings. We have now closed from taking new
learners.
We danced a demo for the RSL on May 31st. All the learners danced with most of
them coming along in Square Dancing outfits. The Mainstreamers also did a set
as well and Scotty made us run. After that we got some of the RSL patrons up. A
great time was had by all.
Over the long weekend we attended a Quiz night at the RSL and made up a table
from Diggers Delights. Someone won a chicken meat tray, a very nice way to fill
the freezer.
We bid goodbye to one of our learners Terry as he has now got a full time job,
hope all goes well for you.
Don’t forget to join us on our Facebook group Diggers
Delights.
Chris Wood.
Since the last issue of Round Up was written before our birthday, I
can say yes it was a great day. Congratulations to Jan & Don on
achieving their 10 year award. Susan & Alistair had the honor, as our
longest serving members, of cutting the cake.
Also thanks were given to Shirley, Anne & Les for helping with
Cueing. And of cause that was followed by our usual wonderful
spread.
Congratulations to Bernie & Terry on their recent engagement and what about that
massive chocolate cake they brought. They are from our latest Learners Class
which are progressing very well. Last week they had their first taste of Foxtrot, next
month they will learn Two Step.
It was nice to have Monica & Terry join us for the day and Bev & Bruce visiting us.
So the next big thing is the State Convention where we hope we will some of you
on the dance floor.
Till next time Regards Thelma
11Our recent Bad Taste Theme resulted in many ‘odd bods’
walking through the door who were dressed with no
coordination & looked rather daggy if not colourful. We
thank Deidre for supplying a never ending variety of deco-
rations which add to the spirit of theme nights.
With visitors on occasions from other clubs and learners we
almost take up the entire hall!!!!!! It has been marvelous to watch Ursula & David
move straight into mainstream as they return to square dancing.
One week we could have had an extra theme night called ‘Ailments’. We had
dancers with cricked hips, bursitis, knee complaints, planters fasciitis &
lacerations. It was totally random that this all happened in the same week.
At Plus practice, Penny was not dancing due to a hip complaint. Feeling the cold,
Judy provided her with a ‘granny rug’ blankets & a stuffed toy friend to keep her
company. When the outdoor entertainment area heater went on for the dancers
she abandoned all rugs!!!!
Our club runs with everyone helping out. Our resident supper time dishwasher is
John. He unassumingly starts his self assigned job each week without any fuss.
Ros, Penny & Mark manage the main setting up on dance nights & all other
members contribute. We are such a cohesive & harmonious lot!!!!
Our esteemed President Leon, attended a recent dance after recovering from
some health issues. We appreciate his continued involvement & know that he
would do anything to be out on the dance floor with us.
Our next theme night is ‘Down Memory Lane’. Some of us have a long time span
to select from but that’s half the fun.
Ros will be attending the North Coast Caller School at Lismore to further her
knowledge & skill. She has really taken this important role on with passion,
determination & enthusiasm.
Gail
12Once again another memorable night for our Carnival Theme.
We were very pleased at the wonderful help from our
committee in the planning and staging of the night.
Ingrid once again came up with a beautiful backdrop. Thanks
to Anne & Rose for the other decorations and to Phyl for
helping set up the kitchen and supper, and Dennis for setting up the hall.
Speaking of supper we had all carnival food, hot dogs, popcorn and fairy floss,
absolutely delicious Thanks to Ingrid for bringing the fairy floss and popcorn ma-
chines.
Les of course did as many singing calls to the theme as well as background music.
And of course what else do you do at the carnival and that is play games in side
show alley. We had had tossing the ping pong balls into the buckets which you
think would be easy except you had to bounce the ball as well. Trevor won that
game. Then we had egg and spoon race except you had to weave in and out of
cones as well as transfer the egg to you partner (simples). Anne and Vicki won that
race. The last was similar to egg tossing and catching except we used bean bags
(not so much mess when it goes wrong) and after each toss you had to step back.
Gary & Sally won that and were almost at the full length of the hall.
Finally thank you for all who dressed colourful to suit the theme.
Happy Dancing from Anne & Les

14Well what a night it was for Scootbacks 8th birthday. We had almost
four squares in attendance helping us celebrate, which was fabulous.
We had a few apologies but we didn't let that dampen our spirits. Our
learners joined in with a learners hour before the Mainstream
started ,then they stayed to watch the rest of us dance.
The cake looked
delicious with our president Jeff ,
vice president Michael and
treasurer Marita cutting it. We would
like to thank everyone that attended
even though it was a Friday night.
Keep warm and have fun, De
Square Lady.
15It was good to see so many polished crowns and tiaras at our
Queen's Birthday dance, and if there had been a prize for best
dressed Yvonne would have
been the winner. She looked
magnificent in her full
regalia.
We also celebrated Heather Coutts' 80th
birthday. The strawberries and cream and
birthday cake were a
delicious addition to
supper. It was good
to have Jan
Woodget, her
daughter and
granddaughter join
us for the evening.
Jan and Heather
share birthdays, and
their friendship goes
back many years.
As we welcome back some holidaymakers we also
wish those setting off a safe trip. By the time this goes
to print we will have visited Scoot Back Squares for their birthday, congratulations
to them, it is sure to be an enjoyable night.
Happy dancing everyone, Pat. www.wildfrontiersa.com
It is nearly July and time for the 2020 calendar to come out and
start noting the dates. Next year the Kanella/Wild Frontier
weekend away will be 20 March 2020. And now for something
completely different the weekend will be held in Burra. For all of
those crossword nuts out there yes Burra looks like Berri, but the
landscape is very different.
We remember fondly Alan Penhall who passed away recently. I remember he and
Jean on the dance floor, if you were in their set you were assured of a good laugh.
Maryka
That month has flown by. A huge thank you to our
visitors - Jeff and Elaine, Marty and Uncle Bruce. A
wide variance of dancing abilities made for a hugely
fun night last week. Once again we are coming up
for the time when dancers are either at meetings or working their shift on Monday
night for the next two weeks. Congratulations to Jeff and Susan on becoming
Grandparents for the first time. Now there's a new challenge ahead for you. See
you all soon at the State Convention.
Happy Dancing from Shirley and David.
