Just over one square today for Mainstream which gave some dancers a break while others danced. We sang happy birthday to Marg Webber who also won the raffle, congratulations. Plus again next week. Hoping for better weather and more dancers.

What a great day of fun and friendship for our break up party and 30th birthday celebrations. 47 attendees including past and present dancers and callers. Guest callers Kay Walker and Glenn Wilson helped entertain our dancers and gave me a rare opportunity to dance. The day concluded with a huge afternoon tea that was enjoyed by all. Dancing will recommence on Sunday 9th February 2020. Our format for next year will be changing to 1st and 3rd Sundays Mainstream and 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month Plus dancing. Have a great Christmas break and hope to see you on the dance floor in 2020.

This week looked like it was going to be a bit quiet but we ended up with 3 fun loving squares of dancers on the floor. Our visiting caller this week was Frances Hickson with her husband John from Lismore. Frances entertained our dancers with 2 brackets. We had a bit of fun with Girls Face Grand Slide, it looked great from where I was standing and everyone enjoyed it. The raffles were won by Freda and Marion.
Sunday 21st July 2019
A lot has happened in the last few months. As our numbers were dwindling on a Tuesday night in the Tin Shed we decided to trial a more comfortable venue, day and time. We moved to the Senior Citizens Hall 24 Hasking Street Caboolture on Sunday afternoons from 2 - 4pm. The trial was so successful we decided to make it permanent. The hall is air-conditioned so no more problems with the cold of winter or the heat of summer that we experienced at the previous venue. The change of day and time has been good for dancers who prefer not to drive at night as they are able to get home in daylight and as a result have had many past dancers return. Even though Sunday is a day that dancers may not always be able to commit to we have regularly had 3 - 4 squares of dancers creating a happy, fun environment.
We have decided to only have one party this year, our Christmas break up on Sunday 8th December and look forward to getting lots of visitors (fingers crossed). We now have 2 prizes for our raffle, 1st $10 and 2nd $5. Happy dancing.

Our first week of Mainstream dancing was well supported by our members and we are looking forward to starting our beginners classes next Tuesday night. We are offering a 10 week course for $60 as an incentive to attend every week.
As in any team sport it takes a certain level of commitment. Happy 2019.

We hosted the Sunshine State Round-up and QCA Gala Dance at the Burpengary Community Hall last Saturday and raised much needed funds by running the raffle and a sausage sizzle between dances. We're good a sausage sizzles now. There were about 10 squares a dancers and everyone had a great time dancing to a variety of great callers.

Last Sunday our members banded together to run a sausage sizzle at Bunnings and we raised nearly $2,000 which will go towards the hall hire for next year. Thank you very much to our members who all arrived on time and worked very hard and we managed to have quite a bit on fun along the way.

Our first week back after Caboolture Show. We went to the hall on Sunday afternoon to clean up before the Cloggers came, and it was a mess. Everything was caked in dirt and there was rubbish everywhere. Everyone seemed happy with it when we finished.
We had one square of dancers tonight and it was freezing in the hall, so we had to keep dancing to stay warm. Mostly revision and worked on decreasing the time it takes to complete the moves. Carol won the raffle and we had a nice supper to finish.
We will be running a sausage sizzle at Bunnings on 9th Sept to raise some funds so we can keep our club going.
We need volunteers for the day as it will be from 7am to 3pm. We are hosting the Gala Dance and the Sunshine State Round-up at the end of September, so it will be a busy month for us.
The next exciting event on the square dance calendar is the State Convention at Buderim in July. A good opportunity to experience the atmosphere of a big dance and to meet new people and dance to different callers.

Thanks Glenn for calling at EZ Squares while I was away at the National Convention in Perth. One of the best conventions I've been to and we really enjoyed ourselves. Next year the convention is in Tasmania and our dancers should consider going along for the experience of dancing to different callers with so many other dancers.
We had a great night of dancing with one square and a few extras.
The AGM saw the current committee re-elected with lots of ambition for 2018. We would like some volunteers to help out at a sausage sizzle, where we might be able to recruit new dancers. We are also looking at hosting the QCA Gala Dance and the SD Society's Sunshine State Round-up in September. Watch out for more details on that.

Great night tonight. One square and a few extras but everyone really enjoyed themselves and danced well. We had a couple of visitors - Kay from the Sunshine Coast, who is a learner, and Joy from New Zealand, a mainstream dancer. We threw Kay in at the deep end and she did really well. Our Mainstream dancers worked on Spin Chain thru from right and left waves and mixed RH waves as well as Dixie Style to a Wave.
Glenn will be back with us next week while I'm away at the Perth Convention and it's birthday night next week for our April birthdays so come and enjoy the cream cake.
The following week (1st May) is our AGM, so we'd like to see as many members as possible there to make up the numbers for our meeting.

The last few weeks have only seen one square each night and unfortunately our new ladies didn't come back. Some of our regular dancers have been experiencing health problems and will return as soon as they can. We wish them all the best for a full recovery.
We have been working on Dixie Style to a Wave followed by a few left hand moves including Spin Chain Thru and Recycle. If we do them every week it will eventually become 2nd nature.
Our AGM is coming up on 1st May and please check out our Future Events page for our next Party Night on 29th May.

Our first night for beginners and we had 2 new ladies, Yvonne and Janet. They both picked it up very well and said they had a good night. I hope we see them again next week. We had nearly 2 squares and danced alternate beginners and everyone else all night. Good to see Gary and Trish back again as well as Dennis and Joanne.
We will complete the Mainstream programme this year, hopefully. It was very hot in the hall so we decided to have supper a bit early. Dennis won the raffle and we enjoyed a lovely supper.

Our first night for 2018. Good to see most dancers back tonight. We were one person short of 2 squares. We welcomed one new dancer, Robyn, who recently moved to Caboolture from Brisbane and will be joining us every Tuesday. Next Tuesday night we start teaching from 7:00pm and hopefully we'll have a new group of learners.
We're offering a 10 week course for $60 to new dancers, which is a saving of $20 over the 10 weeks, or they can just pay $8 each week.
We've changed the way we do supper to allow Margie more dance time and less time in the kitchen. It seemed to work very well tonight. We are now doing a sit down supper around the tables, which had a very friendly feel with lots of jokes being told around the table. Freda won the scratchies tonight and from next week the raffle prize will be $10, cash in hand rather than the hope of a win.
Hope to see you all there next week. No pics this week.

What a great night. Our Christmas party was very well patronised by past and present dancers and visitors from several clubs attending to farewell Glenn on his last night as Club Caller.
Great to see Brian Horsey, the club's first caller, come along to farewell Glenn. Lots of great stories about the early days of our club.
Previous Co-Caller, Rod Dinte, presented Glenn with a framed record of "Grandfather's Clock", one of Glenn's favourite songs LOL. That was one of the funny stories told tonight.
Glenn was presented with a Certificate of Appreciation, a small plaque, a keyring and a gift of his favourite beverage. He appeared very pleased with his gifts. Thanks to all who chipped in.
John and Marjorie, some of our Bribie Island Squares visitors, won the Monte Carlo and we all enjoyed a lovely supper together to finish off the evening.
Thanks to all who attended for making it such a great night. It was really good to see so many dancers in the hall again. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. See you all again in February 2018

It was also our Graduation Night and all our learners came along to receive their certificates for completing the Basics of Square Dancing. Good work.
Next week is our final night for the year so please come along for the Christmas Party and Glenn's farewell.
I'm sure it will be a great night. See a couple of Pics on our PAST EVENTS page.

More revision tonight with Joanne returning after a break. We danced a Contra again to finish the learning session.
Next week is our Family and Friends Night so please bring someone along who might like to learn to Square Dance.
Next Tuesday is also our Graduation night so our new dancers will be given their certificate for completing the Basics of Square Dancing. Hope to see All our learners there for that.
There won't be any more learning this year, just dancing, so we will have to complete the Mainstream programme next year.
The Christmas party is 5th December, please bring a plate of food to share for supper.
Hoping that Margie is feeling better soon as we miss her.
See you at the Christmas lunch on Sunday, please be there by 11am if possible to ensure your spot at the table.

Some of the learners were back tonight so more revision. We did the Spin the Top Contra and the Spin Chain Thru Contra and Glenn taught Recycle again which was of benefit to all the dancers. I don't think we're going to get through the Mainstream programme this year, but we can finish it next year.
Dennis won the raffle and we had a nice supper,
Keep up the good work

Tuesday 7th November 2017 - Melbourne Cup night
We were few in numbers tonight (everyone recovering from Melbourne Cup parties) but we had a good night. Glenn taught Recycle from just about every position and everyone caught on well. Just remember the Ends Cross Fold and the centres follow the adjacent (cross folder) around in a little circle to end up next to that person (as a couple)......OK lol. We had 2 birthday boys tonight, both celebrating tomorrow - Glenn and Arthur - Val Clarke absent.
Some of the ladies were still in Melbourne Cup mode and came dressed for the occasion.
Hope to see more dancers on deck next week. Happy Dancing.

Tuesday 31st October 2017 - Halloween Party night
They're creepy and their cookey, mysterious and spooky....but they sure know how to have a good time at Halloween. Visitors from Lighthouse Squares, Bribie Island Squares, Logan SDC and Northside Promenaders helped make the night a success. Best dressed lady was Freda from Bribie as a very glamorous witch with best dressed man going to Graham from everywhere, lol. Glenn, David, Elaine & Margaret entertained us with lots of Halloween appropriate songs and everyone enjoyed the Monte Carlo Gypsy Tap. Thanks again to Margie for all her work in the kitchen to put together a great supper.

Dennis & Joanne were the only beginners in attendance. Taught Scoot Back again tonight as well as Folds & Cross Folds. Had just enough dancers for a Contra - Elaine called the "Spin Chain Thru" and "Double Top" Contras. Our new duet "Play that Song" (Heart & Soul) went over well again. Great to to have Rob with us, courtesy of the rainy weather. Our visitor Jean won the raffle again. Finished at 9.15pm and had Supper.

See you all next week.

Tuesday 26th September 2017 - Revision plus another couple of moves
Still working on Spin the Top & Spin Chain Thru. I also taught Slide Thru and Pass to the Centre. Elaine called the "Spin Chain Thru" Contra, it went alright, eventually. Margie is back, Yay!!!.
Michelle away tonight. Most of our newer dancers attended the QCA Gala "Basic" dance on Saturday afternoon.

Tuesday 19th September 2017 - Re-teach for those away last week.
Again, the Mainstream SPIN family - Spin the Top & Spin Chain Thru. I believe my strategy will work. They will not think twice about these movements in a couple of weeks. Added R & L Thru on the end of Spin the Top tonight. Elaine called the "Double Top Contra", it went alright, eventually. Margie, COME BACK, we miss you.
Trisha & Gary not with us tonight. Looking forward to the QCA Gala "Basic" dance on Saturday afternoon.

Tuesday 12th September 2017 - The Mainstream continues
Decided that it might be a good idea to do a couple of the more "involved" moves tonight.
The Mainstream SPIN family - Spin the Top & Spin Chain Thru. Figured the new dancers would have more time to practice them before the end of the year. Elaine says she'll bring out the "Spin Chain Thru Contra" very shortly. At least the nights are getting warmer, not so many heavy jackets. I hope Margie's right soon, we miss her. Good to see Geoff, Delwyn & Lorraine back, although Geoff is not dancing at the moment due to hip issues.

Tuesday 5th September 2017 - Starting Mainstream
All our beginners were back on deck tonight, so they are now learning Mainstream.
Tonight I taught Cloverleaf and the 8 chain family (1-Thru).
Elaine finished the beginner session with a Contra and we'll probably do one every week.
Margie was away this week but we managed to give everyone a cuppa and a sandwich. Come back soon Margie.

Tuesday 29th August 2017 - Country & Western Party Night
Goodbye to our friend MAC - the night was dedicated to him - he loved Party/Dress Up dances.
What a great night!!!!! Plenty of visitors from all over Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast as well as Peter & Dianne from Victoria. David Smythe, Elaine & myself did the calling. Line dances. Monte Carlo and even a Contra. Alternating Basic & Mainstream brackets for the Squares, really proud of our new dancers, they did well.
See the Pics on our PAST EVENTS page. Starting on the Mainstream movements next week.

Tuesday 22nd August 2017 - More revision
Fun night tonight. Most of our learners were back, so lots of revision, especially with split circulate, all 8 circulate and box circulate. It's a lot to take in, but the main thing is to always keep track of whether you're a centre or an end and which 4 you're in for the split.
We had a birthday cake for our August birthdays and Linda got to have it all to herself, for a few minutes anyway. Yum. Apparently Elaine's cake next month will be named LINDA.
It was great to see Peter and Di again on their yearly visit from Victoria. They dance at Burra Squares.
We're gearing up for our Country and Western party night next Tuesday so I better start practicing my country songs. It's OK though, I like both kinds of music and Glenn loves anything with a fiddle or banjo, lol. Glenn calls BS on that comment. Hope to see lots of dancers next Tuesday. See FUTURE EVENTS page

Tuesday 15th August 2017 - Special General Meeting
It was great to see 2 squares of dancers on the floor tonight, much warmer than last week. Our Basic dancers were all away tonight so it was a night of Mainstream. We had a short meeting to discuss Membership and Admission fees (see Important News page). Everyone stayed for supper and a chat. Hope to see 2 squares on the floor again next week.

Wednesday 19th July 2017 - Committee meeting at Elaine's place, Elimbah
Elaine is now officially the club's Co-Caller, this helps with her Accreditation and Convention Status.
Also, I announced that I will not be continuing on as the club caller in 2018. I have committed to taking on Upbeat Chaos Plus Club on Monday nights and I am unwilling to call 3 nights a week every week.
It's good for my development as a caller to do as full night of Plus each week.
I will still attend EZ squares party nights and I'll be available for Stand-In nights should their new caller be unavailable for whatever reason.
I have recommended that Elaine take over as the new club caller but that is up to the club.

1 square for both Beginners & Mainstream.
Congratulations to our beginners tonight who have now completed the Basic programme.
This week I taught Wheel Around, Thar Stars, Slip the Clutch, Shoot the Star, Cross Run and Cross Fold.

Now the beginners can look up any of the moves in the Basic programme on Taminations and know they have danced them.The Mainstreamers got to do some tricky all position dancing tonight, (Well done Elaine) so a bit of a learning curve for them also.

Tuesday 11th July 2017 - Always quiet after a Caloundra visit.
A quiet night tonight back at the showgrounds. All our beginners were there, eager to learn. Taught Wheel and Deal from In-Facing and Out-Facing lines as well as Split Circulate and Box Circulate to add to the circulate positions. We finished the night with 2 singing call duets. We hope the newer dancers will be able to attend the Basic session at this year's Gala dance at Burpengary in September. To get a feel for what it's like to dance at a big dance with different dancers and callers. Keep up the good work everyone.

Another good night at Minimbah. 2 squares for Beginners and 2 for Mainstream, best numbers in weeks. I gotta say it again, the newer dancers are really doing well. Only Allemande Thars to go and they've finished Basics. Great to have Rob & Elaine back from their Sweden trip. They only got back that morning and straight back to E.Z. Squares, what dedication!! And of course, she did a fabulous couple of calls for us. This was the last week at the school, remember, back to the Showgrounds next week. Apparently we have 18 names on the list for our club visit to Caloundra Lighthouse squares on the 10th July.

27th June 2017 - Night 3 Minimbah State School
A good night at Minimbah. Well, until the lights timed out again. I kept calling, and the dancers told me that they were doing everything right, I believed them. Just as the lights came on, they arrived at home. The newer dancers are really doing well, it seems to have "clicked-in" over the last couple of weeks. We had 2 squares for Beginners and 1 for Mainstream. Did a Mainstream workshop on "Dixie Style on the Double Track". Last night was also Birthday night - Lorraine was the only one in attendance - really nice cake!!! One more week at the school. Don't forget our club visit to Caloundra Lighthouse squares on the 10th July.

Well, the night couldn't have gone much better.
Plenty of visitors (mostly from Caloundra) helped swell the numbers to 3 squares.
Our newer dancers got to stay with us and dance every 2nd bracket.
Elaine & I picked our songs from all our favourite DISNEY movies.
Cars, Jungle Book, Aladin, Toy Story and Princess Diaries to name a few.
Our usual Gypsy Tap Monte Carlo went over well and Di from Caloundra won best dressed.
Great to see so many going to the effort, special mention to Geoff & Linda for their costumes.
Thanks for all the supper donations and to our Intrepid Providore Margie, for putting it all together.
Great Night. Don't forget we are at Minimbah State School for the next 2 weeks.
Photos of the DISNEY night have been posted - HERE

Only one of our new dancer in the hall. She got a pretty good work out with quite a few new moves, but handled it well. 2 new songs for the Mainstreamers.

We have a new President, Elaine Davis. Geoff has stepped down from president and is our new Vice President. We do need a new Newsletter Editor and a new Public Officer. All other positions are the same. Thanks to all the committee (new & old) for putting your hand up and doing the work required to keep the club running. Looks like fees might be going up again soon. Either that or we need more people through the door.

Even though we weren't quite prepared for it, we had some enthusiastic new dancers arrive.

It's amazing what you can teach in 1 hour, with the right people. We danced 3 squares early in the night
Elaine & I shared the rest of the night, even shared a Hoedown. Both of us played with a little asymmetrical.
Hopefully we'll have a few more beginners next week. Radio and Newspaper ads seem to be working to some extent.

28th July 2015 - Nearly dancing in the dark.
When I arrived, Ted was walking around with a torch trying to find lighting circuit breakers.
The place was in darkness but all the power was on.
We think there might have been some water sprayed around during clean-up after Farmfest.
After trying a few more times the breaker eventually stayed on and the night was under way.
Halfway through the night the lights tripped out again and we danced to the plug-in stage lights for a while.
It was all very romantic, we even had a couple of "canoodlers" down towards the back of the hall.
Light eventually came back and stayed on.

7th December 2014 - Club Member Christmas Party
About 10.30 am at Ken & Julie's place at Moodlu (Where's That???)
I think I counted somewhere around 40
Great to have Grace drop in. Laurie was also there.
Lunch was roast chicken and veggies, then Christmas pudding & custard or fruit salad & cream
Santa (Rod) was his usual "Naughty" self,
I can bet the real Santa won't give him any presents.
It was certainly an interesting time getting our "Secret Santa" gifts.
Plenty of Christmas crackers and table nibblies, a good time was had by all.
Check "Past Events" page soon to see the incriminating photos.
