National Square Dance Information Line
1800 643 277
Many people have asked “how does the 1800 line work” so I have decided to put out
some information to clear up any misconceptions.

The 1800 service is based in New South Wales as it was started originally by NSW in
1998 and then later passed on to the National Square Dance Society. These calls to the
1800 number can be made from a land line or mobile, both of which are at no cost to
the caller. It was set up to provide a single access point for people to find information
about Square Dancing. Committees change, contact numbers change but the 1800
number does not.

The service is a National service and is financed by the National Square Dance Society
of Australia. It is serviced through a dedicated line to my home, independent of my own
services.
If I am home, I will answer the calls but, if not, the calls go to a message bank and are
answered ASAP by me. If I am away for a significant time, I arrange that the service be
checked by one of our committee members who can call into the message bank and
retrieve/respond to any messages.

I have two contacts for each state to whom I pass these messages as required. If I am
home and answer the call and cannot directly assist the caller, I ask them if they would
like me to pass their request on to a state representative. Alternatively, I can give them
the two contacts and they can call directly. Most people take this latter option.

If your club is having a promotion, you are more than welcome to use the 1800 number
in your advertising. All that I ask is that you please let me know as it can be very
embarrassing and unprofessional if I do not know what they are talking about. I would
also need a direct contact for detailed information as required. For example, sometimes
I get asked if access to the venue is via “XXXX” street or “YYYY” street. The important
thing is that I be kept informed when you refer to the 1800 service.
We are here to help you as a response point for your advertising and to refer people to
you. If you have any questions, please give me a call.
                                                                       Pauline Hansford,

61st ANSDC Update

Our Committee had a fabulous time at the Halfway Dance at Holbrook! Many thanks
to Chris, Howard and Mike for allowing us to do a special draw for dancers who had
registered early. If you weren’t there on the Saturday evening and you haven’t checked
our Facebook page recently, then I’m proud to announce the winner of the Fantastic
Aussie Tours ten day bus trip for two valued up to $6,580.00 is Terry Williams from
Western Australia. Terry just couldn’t believe his luck and thought it was a hoax call
when David Todd rang to tell him the news! Terry said that he’d never won anything in
his life before, and shared with us his other special news, that he was getting married to
the lovely Dorothy! What a wonderful honeymoon gift for them! A big congratulations
to Terry and Dorothy!!!

At the end of the early bird time we have 423 dancers registered including two junior
dancers. This includes thirty-eight callers, fourteen cuers and three clogging cuers.
You will all know people who still may be umming and arhing about coming. Maybe
they have never been to a National Convention before. We are looking into a special
welcome and introduction for National Convention first timers! So if you or your dancing
friends have never experienced a National Convention before, maybe its time to take
the plunge! Although I’ve only been square dancing since 2016, I’ve now been to the
past two National Conventions and I love the atmosphere and being part of such a
big event with hundreds of people all dancing together to great music in their lovely
costumes!
The committee are all working very hard to make this a fun and friendly convention for
everyone and especially those new to National Conventions. Stay tuned to see what we
have in stall for you.

Square Dance Dress Code
At State and National Conventions there is a dress code. This applies to all sessions

sleeve shirt, complete with bolo tie, cravat or similar.
Trousers, slacks or dress type jeans shall be neat and tidy. Dress shorts are permitted
only in conjunction with long roll top socks.

The wearing of a hat indoors, except where it forms part of a demonstration, is
unacceptable.

Square Dance attire for women shall be interpreted as including the wearing
of a full-type Square Dance dress or skirt and blouse, complete with suitable discreet
underwear. Full backless-type, bare back or bare midriff dresses or blouses are not

BEHIND THE MIKE                              Alannah Smith ACF Public Relations
Hello again all,
Things are gearing up again in the ACF after the National. Discussions on various topics
are underway, including the national program sub-committee’s first draft manual on
how to program a national, which is expected by early November.

It’s membership updating time and the ACF Web master has been working hard to
make sure our website is ready for members to update their information. Members
need to remember that the changes to the eligibility criteria means they need to include
calling hours when updating their information this year. State Coordinators should have
their instructions by now on how to update entries, and can send them out to members.
Remember that ACF and APRA renewal fees are also due by 1st August too.

A draft three year plan, linked to the ACF Mission Statement, will soon be with ACF
board members for comment too. Watch this space for further information.

The 2020 Caller Conference continues to gather momentum. It should be great! If you
haven’t already booked in, make sure you do so ASAP, and encourage ACF members
in your state to also book in. This is a fantastic opportunity for callers to get together,
learn and challenge themselves to improve themselves and their craft. Clubs and State
Associations, you can show your support for the hard work that your callers put in by
helping send them to the conference. Callers have many expenses, which they usually
absorb as it goes hand in hand with the love of what they do. But clubs and associations
can help with these opportunities to enthuse and educate their callers. Have a sausage
sizzle or something to raise some money. Your investment will be well and truly repaid
by what your caller/s bring back from the experience. Trust me…
Speaking of supporting and encouraging new and upcoming callers in practical ways,
this was shown recently by callers Howard Cockburn, Mike Davey and Chris Froggatt.
These three generous callers gave visiting callers and trainees an opportunity to call to
the 140-odd crowd at their terrific inaugural Halfway Dance weekend in Holbrook at
the end of June. Many thanks to Howard, Mike, Chris and helpers. We’re not the only
ones who have already booked in again for next year.
Lastly, we are very much looking forward to the 40th NSW State Square and Round
Dance Convention in Berry in August. It should be a great weekend.
Stay warm!                                                               Cheers Alannah

Round Dancing News

Recently Carol Simondson and Paula & Warwick
Armstrong attended three big Round Dance events- first
Roundalab Convention in Montgomery, Alabama, then on
to the USA Square and Round Dance National in Atlanta,
Georgia and, lastly, the International Choreographed
Ballroom Dance Association (ICBDA) Convention in
Orlando, Florida.

Australia is so fortunate to have such dedicated and talented cuers and teachers.
Congratulations to Carol Simondson who received her ten year teaching award from
Roundalab at the convention in Montgomery.

Then at the 2019 Round Dance Showcase at the 68th NSDC Paula & Warwick presented
and choreographed a beautiful waltz for “Now When the Rain Falls.” You can view this at

                                       choreographers present their dances. Paula
                                       & Warwick had two of their dances selected
                                       in the “Top 15”. The Top 15 dances are
                                       those dances that receive the most votes from
                                       dancers who attend the convention. In fact
                                       “A Thousand Years” which Paula & Warwick
choreographed is number one on the Phase III and IV dance list. “Capone” which they
also choreographed was on the Top 15 list for Phase V and VI dances. Congratulations
on such an amazing achievement!

Solo Dancers

            Recently I had the pleasure of visiting the Coffs Harbour Square Dance
            Club and was warmly welcomed by all. Gordon keeps everyone motivated
and the dances chosen (from their CD collection) are aimed to keep members happy
and dancing at their appropriate level. They are a fun loving group and visitors are most
welcome at their Tuesday afternoon session.

Likewise, a couple of weeks ago, two dancers from Victoria visited the Tamworth
Cloverleaf Dancers club and it was nice to have them join us.

So, my message to Solo Dancers (and others) is – when you are travelling or going away
somewhere check if there is a club in the vicinity and see if you can make a visit. Do not
think you are imposing or will not be welcome. Attendance numbers at clubs might be
down due to illness or the weather and extra dancers help to fill the square.

The 40th NSW Convention at Berry is next on the agenda and the Solo Dress-Set is
almost ready to Square-up. Thank you to those who have already volunteered. There is
still much dancing to do before the year ends, so check the “What’s On” pages. During
August I will be going to dances at Berry and Woolgoolga, then, in October there’s
Newcastle and Armidale. Have fun, enjoy square dancing and keep smiling.

               The annual TAWS meeting was held at the Deloraine National Convention.

Carl Mullan and Karen McCarthy continue to do an excellent job in maintaining the

I invite any dancer, caller, cuer or club leader who is not a TAWS member to send me
your name and email address at jarmangp@gmail.com for inclusion in the distribution
list. You will receive by email all flyers sent to me for distribution. There is no cost, no
obligation, one meeting per year at the National Convention to attend if you wish and
an occasional social event.

I also invite callers, cuers and club leaders to send me advertising flyers for any special
events which are being arranged. They will be distributed to at least 300 email addresses
on the TAWS distribution list as well as being added to the TAWS website. I prefer them
in Adobe Acrobat (pdf) format for easy access by our members.

The Deloraine post-convention day tour was enjoyed by the twenty-nine dancers who
participated. We didn’t lose anyone in the mazes at Tasmazia, we enjoyed the murals
in Sheffield, the topiary in Railton and everyone behaved themselves at the Anvers
chocolate factory and the Christmas Hills raspberry farm. We arrived back in Deloraine
in time for some to catch the ferry back to the mainland and others to prepare for the
dance at Westbury. Please check out TAWS at www.taws.info or on the TAWS android
app. Happy dancing and safe travelling.

Tasmanian President’s Report
What a great time was had by all at the National Convention in Deloraine. The weather
was perfect. The floor was magnificent. All the callers and cuers put on a great show
which all of the dancers enjoyed immensely. Well done to the committee and all the
helpers who put in an enormous amount of time to make the event the success that it
was.

On June 22nd Launceston Square Dance Club held their 68th birthday dance. What a
celebration. Everyone had a fantastic time dancing mainstream, plus and rounds. Trent,
Di, Frank and Glenn kept the floor moving. Launceston Club is truly blessed to have
such a talented group.
The supper was magnificent. I’m sure that no-one went home hungry. Daniella made a
wonderful birthday cake. All in all it was a night of fun, friendship and lots of dancing.

The next Society Dance will be held at the end of August at the CWA Hall, Lincoln Street,
Lindisfarne. Our special guest caller is Glenn Wilson from Queensland.
Glenn has been calling for 20 plus years. He has called at thirteen Australian National
Conventions. He has been very involved with the Queensland Callers Association,
Australian Callers Federation and Callerlab. I look forward to seeing everyone there. It
will be an event not to miss.

Casino City Club is in winter recess due to John Weatherburn having to go to England
upon the death of his brother. Hopefully he will return soon.

ACT President’s Report
Kerr-Ly-Qs are currently enjoying their Winter break in lovely Canberra. Before Kerr-Ly-
Qs went on break they celebrated their 40th Birthday. We were lucky enough to have
Jaden Frigo and Barry Wonson attend this dance which made it a great night of dancing.

Raymond attended the North Coast Callers School in Lismore this year with Matthew
Mills instructing it. He gained a lot more knowledge and renewed enthusiasm for calling
from this school.

Most recently a number of our dancers attended the inaugural Halfway Dance held in
Holbrook, NSW. Thanks to Howard, Mike and Chris for making it such a great weekend
of dancing. It wasn’t all dancing though, with the Halfway Olympics being held on the
Saturday morning for some fun and games. Congratulations to Victoria on winning the
trophy. Maybe NSW can take it out next year!

Best wishes and safe travels for all those who will be travelling to Berry for the 40th NSW
State Convention. Have a great time!
                               Helen Bates - President of the ACT Square Dance Society.

Holbrook Halfway Dance
Everyone had a fabulous time at the Holbrook Halfway Dance .This was a weekend run
jointly by us along with Howard & Brenda Cockburn and Mike & Lorraine Davey . Our
aim was to have a fun dance weekend halfway between Melbourne & Sydney.

There was truly a buzz of anticipation of fun and enjoyment as the weekend began.
Seventeen squares of dancers enjoyed Mainstream and Plus dancing starting Friday night
and this continued during Saturday afternoon, Saturday night and Sunday morning. The
dance floor was full at all sessions.

Saturday morning was the Halfway Olympics with skilful games, to see which state
could take home the coveted “Yellow Submarine” trophy. Alas this year it went to our
Melbourne dancers. It was a neck and neck battle of 7-7 up till the game of “Bra Pong”
and unfortunately the Melbournians proved their prowess was greater at this challenge.
NSW will have to put in a lot of practice for next year, to retrieve the Yellow Submarine
trophy that was craftily made by Chris!!

Everyone enjoyed the suppers each night that were prepared by Linda, Brenda & Lorraine
and we were also well fed at the local RS club on Saturday evening. The after party
entertainment by Chris, Mike and Howard was thoroughly enjoyed, especially when
Mike interviewed Elvis to get his true thoughts on how he was feeling since Priscilla had
left him.

After the dance session on Sunday morning, we enjoyed a lovely sausage sizzle, with
more slices and cakes before we departed north and south to our respective destinations.

As organisers we were truly overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone’s comments as
to just how much they had enjoyed our weekend and with so many requests for us to “do
it again” next year, we have booked the venue for the end of June 2020. Special thanks
goes to the 12 other callers who supported our weekend. We look forward to working
together next year to give you another great, fun filled weekend of square dancing!

NSW President’s Report

           Congratulations to Chris, Mike and Howard for an amazing weekend of
dancing at Holbrook. Lots of fun, amazing suppers, great dancing and entertainment,
what more could one want!

I recently attended the Just Bliss square dance club’s last dance. It was lovely to see a
large number of dancers from all over Sydney support Jim Brooks who has had to close
the club due to health issues. Jim is to be congratulated for the effort he has put into
this club over five years and encouraged so many people to enjoy square dancing. I
was able to present Jim with a framed collage of photos as a memento of his time with
Just Bliss and I wish Jim all the best for the future.

Just a reminder that SARDA in conjunction with the Northern NSW Association are
hosting the first Wilma Flannery Memorial Dance in Armidale. It would be great to
see dancers from all over Australia come to celebrate Wilma’s contribution to square
dancing. All the profit from this dance will be donated in Wilma’s name for the promotion
of square dancing in the northern NSW area.

The 40th NSW State Convention will be held this month and the committee are working
hard to ensure you have a great time. They are busy finalising last minute details. If
you haven’t already, check out their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/
events/362753967581801/.
We are also seeking Expressions of Interest for clubs/dancers who would like to host a
state convention in 2021.

Don’t forget if you haven’t registered for the National in 2020 forms are available on
the web page at https://www.2020sdconvention.com/. As this convention is in our
home state it would be great to see lots of New South Wales dancers there.
Looking forward to seeing you all at Berry.

Queensland President’s Report

                   Greetings dancers.
                   With the weather settling down to a warmer version, with an occasional
                   cold night, the numbers reported around the clubs are picking up
again. We are getting very few single figure temperatures at night here in Brisbane and
we are feeling sorry for those living south of us who are getting the very cold nights.
Anybody seeking warmer climate are welcome to come join us at the Queensland State
Convention September 6-8 in Rockhampton. We are looking forward to catching up
with all the dancers, both Queenslanders and those who are visiting from interstate and
overseas. Just be aware we do occasionally get the cooler nights!

Elaine Davis has reported that the numbers are building on Wednesday times at Buderim
and is enjoying having the interstate visitors joining in while they are holidaying on the
Sunshine Coast.
A big thank you to Elaine and Bribie Squares for stepping forward to host the caller’s
Gala Afternoon and the Sunshine State Roundup in the evening to be held at the hall at
Kallangur on the last Saturday in September. All visitors from interstate who happen to
be in Brisbane at the time are also welcome to attend this event. To make it easier for
all to attend, this event is being held in an outer Brisbane suburb rather than on Bribie
Island itself.
Congratulations to Glenn Wilson for 25 years of calling being acknowledged by
Callerlab. Both his clubs are increasing in numbers regularly and is in great demand
doing events in places like Hervey Bay, Tasmania and New Zealand.
Many dancers helped Anne and George Stevens celebrate their 60th Wedding
Anniversary at Gumdale Grandsliders. There was a full hall with seven sets attending
this night. Gumdale also held their 32nd birthday. We were very interested to see and
read the congratulatory greetings from many dignitaries including the Queen, the Prime
Minister, Scott Morrison and the Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk.

By the time you read this Burleigh Squares would have held their 31st birthday event
with Barry Wonson as guest caller. I am sure this would have been a great night’s
entertainment. Barry always delivers an entertaining evening for the dancers. Catch you
on the dance floor
                                                                           Russell Wall,

South Australia Delegate’s Report

Farmers and gardeners all over southern Australia feel a sense of optimism as green
shoots appear with the first rains after the long stretch of heat and dryness. A fresh, new
square dance club has emerged too, based at the RSL Hall at Salisbury, a northerly
suburb of Adelaide. “Diggers’ Delights” might sound like the name of a gardening club,
but no, it’s named in honour of the veterans whose hall the group meets in. The result of
the drive and enthusiasm of SASDS Membership Secretary, Karen Dempsey, with Murray
Dempsey and caller Peter Scott, the Diggers’ Club has been meeting every Thursday
afternoon for the past few months. The RSL veterans are delighted to see their hall used
by a regular and avid group of dancers and Diggers’ Club membership has already
grown to almost three “sets” (aka 24 people). They also have a dedicated Facebook
page.

The annual SASDS and SACA combined dance is traditionally held each July. This year’s
theme was “The Best of British”. Red-white-and-blue outfits and Union Jack bunting
filled the Marion RSL Hall - another example of veterans’ graciousness in lending their
hall to host square dancing. Seen amongst the crowd were two bejewelled “queens”,
one looking somewhat Russian in a Tsarina’s crown and floor-length ermine-trimmed
robe. There were also a couple of “Yorkshire men” wearing tweed cap, white shirt and
braces.
The National Convention 2022 is to be hosted by South Australia, and the expert team
who’ll coordinate the event was announced during the evening.
In mid-August this year, South Australia’s 44th State Convention, “Click go the Shears”
is being held in Naracoorte, a regional centre renowned for producing wool and related
products. Naracoorte’s proximity to Victoria’s westerly border has encouraged number
of Victorian dancers to register. Registrants now number over 100, but there are still
accommodation options available at or near Naracoorte and it’s not too late to become
part of the fun.

                                                  for Murray Dempsey, President SASDS
