PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Hello Everybody, Welcome to the New Year. Isn’t it great that we are having a break in the heat, so that we can all once again enjoy our dancing. Talking of which, don’t forget the free dance being held at the Deception Bay Hall after the AGM being held on 10 March. Please come along and have a say at this meeting, as this is your opportunity to bring new ideas about engaging new
people to enjoy our great pastime of dancing or anything else you think needs to be said or heard. Most clubs have started the new year reporting good numbers and beginner’s classes are reporting some good attendances. Glenn has received enquiries about the Plus Class starting in March. I am getting excited preparing for the National Convention, attending to the correspondence between myself and the National Committee. While talking of conventions, don’t forget the State Convention being held in Rockhampton in September. The Flyer which is attached within this month’s Bugle. It has been brought to my notice that some people are not receiving their copies of The Bugle, and after making enquiries, I discovered they had been receiving their copies from a second party. If you wish to receive The Bugle directly, please contact the bugle editor on [email protected] to receive your copy directly. This is a free service to all dancers, and it is not a requirement that you be a member to receive it. Kindly remember however, that articles that you wish to be put within the Bugle and if you are not members of the society, they will accrue a cost. There have been complaints from some people that The Society dances have not been held with in their area. We regularly seek that clubs nominate to host these events, and if you are wishing to have one held in your area, please talk to your club members about sending in a nomination to do so. We are currently seeking nominations to host the Sunshine State Roundup, held in conjunction with the QCA dance for the afternoon which is held on the fourth Saturday in September, which this year happens to be 28 September. The Christmas Dance, is held on the second Saturday of November, which this year is the 9 November, and next years AGM, which is held second Sunday in March, which is 8 March 2020.

We now hope that Mum and Dad are now back together and dancing up a
storm.
Mum and Dad were married on the 3rd March (1951) and we plan to

EZ Squares News
Our club started classes on Tuesday 5th February with mainstream dancing. On the
12th we advertised a beginner’s night, but unfortunately those who contacted us for
details and indicated that they would like to come, did not make an appearance –
maybe it was the very hot conditions that kept them away. On the third night back
we hoped that some would turn up…..one of our newer dancers was there and all
we can do is just keep trying with as much advertising as we can manage. We need
to give it a chance and you never know things might turn around.
We look forward to meeting up with our friends from other clubs for our first party
night for the year on Tuesday, 30th April.

(Targo Street across from Dan Murphy’s). Dancing, pizza, raffles and a “Lucky

photos):
Katherine Gunderson - Publicity Officer
Gumdale Grandsliders Despite the really dreadful heat and humidity, this year’s dancing has started off well. Three,
four and even five squares have danced apart from one night when only the very loyal were
in evidence. Most sensible people stayed at home in the air conditioning!
A number of our mainstream dancers have begun learning Plus, and we have welcomed 2
past dancers and two new members, who are very enthusiastic, and are doing well.
Gumdale Grandsliders held their AGM on Tuesday, celebrating with pizzas for lunch, and
welcoming back the team that has served for the last year and beyond- Heather and Barry
Pennington; Jen and Jim Felstead, Teresa Supel and myself.
All the best to the Square Dancing Community. Happy Dancing!!
