Socials are an integral part of our line dance organisation. They provide an opportunity for our dancers to test out their knowledge and skills, check out their options to stretch themselves in a higher level, and meet other members of our community from different regional areas.
The program is made up from requests from those attending. There have been an increase in the new members of our community attending the socials, which is wonderful. We have adjusted the programme to accommodate this with an increased number of easy level dances on the program. We are discontinuing writing up the programme on a white board, to enable us to be more flexible in responding to the floor level.
The remaining social dates for this year are as follows:

The Address is: West Croydon and Kilkenny RSL, 19 Rosetta St, West Croydon.
Dancing starts at 1.30pm and concludes at 5pm at a cost of $15 (cash only). The program is run by request, and everyone gets a request form when they enter, to nominate 5 dances they would like to do. We try to ensure that you get at least one of those, but we only do about 5 level 6+ dances during the session, so don't just ask for really hard ones (or lots of unusual ones), or you could miss out altogether.
We have decided not to offer meals beforehand this year, as they were not being well supported and it was not economical for the caterers. Instead, we will return to the format we were using long before Covid-19, with a break about half way through, where we share a combined afternoon tea for 20 minutes. Please bring a small plate of food to share with your fellow dancers. Also bring a coffee cup if you wish to take advantage of the free tea and coffee provided. We will have minimal fridge space, and a pie warmer, but no oven, so please don’t bring food that needs cooking or defrosting. We feel this is a better way to assist people to mix and chat. Doors will open 30 minutes before the starting time.

Liz and I have finally decided to downsize our house. This will happen over the next 9 months. When we got together 20+ years ago, we had 3 kids between us, lots of stuff we had collected, and as lovers of entertaining, we needed lots of room. Because I had used the landline phone number in 15 years of publicity, and Parafield was the southern most suburb that I could keep the same number, we were stuck in the north. Nowadays landlines are no longer locked in to a location.
The kids are off in their own houses, and it is now a burden to clean and maintain such a large house, and it will only get worse as we get older. We have decided that now is the time to downsize and get rid of a lot of unwanted or space hungry possessions. They just won't fit into the new two bedroom residence we have fallen in love with.
We did not realise how much stuff we have, until we started pulling it out of the multiple storage areas that we had tucked it all into.
Much of it is line dance paraphernalia collected from the many events that we have run over the years, with decorations, sound equipment, computers, documentation, catering stuff, CD's, records, cassettes, etc. Then there is the various personal collections, and the overseas trinkets collected from our many line dance holidays and personal trips.
We are letting you all know what is going on, because we will no longer have a private dance hall attached to our residence, so running classes there, and live streaming from home (like we did through lockdown), will not be possible. We are moving into the Adelaide CBD, so will be closer to all our classes, reducing travel time for us and enabling relieving of classes (especially in the South) to be more practical.

We also will not have the space to store the many versions of merchandise we have on offer, so will be selling off, or giving away old stock of less popular items. We have already done some of this at the socials, as you may be aware.
This in no way affects our ongoing commitment to our line dance customers and the classes and socials they attend. We are still running classes and overseas trips (Mediterranean Cruise in 2027 for example) for the foreseeable future. It just allows us some more personal time due to reduced household duties in our non line dance schedule.

Our 2027 offering for a Mediterranean Cruise is still available. We do have a single lady in need of a cabin mate, should you be interested in joining us without a partner.
We are very comfortable with choosing Viking as our cruise provider again. Having experienced cruising with P&O, Hurtigruten, Royal Caribbean and Viking, we are convinced the quality of staff, tours and food is second to none of the others. All meals (even specialist), and non spirits drinks with meals are included, as is internet access, tours, gratuities and on board activities. We are also being given special on board credit as part of our group package that can go towards optional tours (Pompeii maybe) or spirits.
Our opinion is that if you are going to take the time and money to travel so far away, it is worth maximising the experience. To that end we are offering additional "bolt ons" both before and after the cruise to explore Greece, Rome and Malta. These are optional, and you can just pay for and go on the cruise and return home if you wish.
You can be assured that we are very experienced travellers, and can take the hassle out of organising all the component parts that make up a dream holiday without issues that you have to deal with. We understand it is not a cheap holiday, but the inclusions and assurances of quality make it very good value for money.
2027 - Greece, the Adriatic Sea, Italy and Malta (August)
After optionally spending 5 days touring Greece, we will embark on a Viking Coastal Cruise (not Mid Ocean) in Athens on the 7th August. The cruise will conclude in Rome 15 days later. After a couple of days in Rome we will optionally fly to the island of Malta for 7 days before returning home. Full itineraries and application forms are available from your instructors if you ask them, or email Peter and he will send you one via email.
