Cane Country Squares

Bundaberg dancers joined in the fun with Hervey Bay Square Dance Club celebrating their 35th Birthday. Friday 22nd started the event with a group travelling from Bundaberg.  More dancers from Cane Country Squares joined them on Saturday 23rd. Some stayed for the whole event, including a social gathering for lunch on Sunday 24th after the morning dance. Saturday Morning was Mainstream and SSD level with Plus dancing after lunch.

All ran sessions individually and together. I really enjoyed Matt and James harmonising ...

We had more than eight Plus level dancers but not quite enough for two squares. A few of us swapped in-between bracket to take turns during the night. The cake this year was a collection of iced cup cakes with letters arranged to read Happy 41st Birthday. Cutting the cake was Sandy, her son Scott, visiting from Brisbane, and Sammy, one of our new leaners. Supper included a number of sweet and savoury treats brough in by members to share.
