Club 40th Birthday Weekend, March 2023 - Saturday SSD & MS Photos

Cane Country Squares 40th Birthday Weekend continued on Saturday the 11th at Coronation Hall, 71 High St. Walkervale, Bundaberg. 

This is a much larger hall with air-conditioning, making the rest of the weekend dancing very comfortable. 1pm to 3pm included brackets for SSD and Mainstream with workshops. It was fantastic to see up to six squares on the floor during this session with up to 80 dancers attending over the weekend.

Matt, Nev and Steve were in fine form and the stage looked great.

The committee and other Cane Country members went all out to decorate this hall with balloons, masses of plants, new printed table cloths and the addition of a computer with our website, along side the TV with the digital photo history.  Later, a huge spread of sandwiches with home made biscuits and slices was laid out on individual plates with tea and coffee was available all afternoon.

Once again we enjoyed dancing with those from out of town, with some familiar faces, from the Gold Coast through to Rockhampton.

It was great to see our new SSD and Mainstream dancers enjoying themselves, even inspiring some to build there skills towards dancing at a State Convention.

The workshops were fun and challenging at times, moving in interesting formations with extended lines or same genders working together instead of boy / girl couples.


It was great to have the opportunity to mix things up and form squares with different dancers each time.


With our three feature callers taking turns to call, it also gave them a chance to dance again today.


How many people noticed super hero's on the floor? Martin and Jeanette are always fun to dance with and showed off Wonder Woman and Flash under shirts part way into the session. 


Photographers from local news paper, Bundaberg Today, attended this session to take photos for an article you can read from this link. They also ran two articles in the lead up to our 40th Birthday weekend. 


Our non dancing members, Rob and George attended all weekend. George assisting at the door and Rob taking photo and videos to be added to our website.

Our next post will cover the Saturday, 3pm to 5pm session with Plus and A brackets.
