February 2021 Newsletter
Welcome back to everyone for a new year of Square Dancing in 2021
operating under Covid Safe Rules.
At various times during our non-dancing period in 2020, Matthew updated
members with current regulations at the time regarding Square Dancing such
as, a survey of members thoughts on return to dancing with COVID safe
conditions to gauge a new date for commencement of dancing when
members felt comfortable to return.
AusDance with QLD Health have addressed the issue of social dancing with a new category which
our activity falls under, Recreational Structured Partner Dancing.
Under our Covid Safe Plan:
• Those feeling unwell to stay home.• Hand sanitiser to be used regularly.
• Seats to be spaced 1.5mtr between dancers unless you are living in the same household.
• Dancers to clean their chairs down and put them away at the end of the night.
• No shared supper for a while.
• Dancers to bring their own drink containers.
• If you are not fond of touching money, bring correct change.
SQUARE DANCE CLOTHING
Rachelle Mills Square Dance clothing has been offered to our Club. Over
the years Rachelle hand made many beautiful National Convention outfits
Her wish was that her clothing continues to be worn by square dancers.
Items have been sorted into sizes and suggested prices for dancers to pay
as a donation to the club.
Photos of Rachelle’s outfits, along with some from other dancers, will be put
online soon. Items of interest can be taken to the hall on dance nights to
view and check for size.
