Our first night back for 2024 was postponed for a week while Matt was unwell. Matt did a great job calling on Friday night, while also trying to save his voice for this weekend. For the 10th and 11th Matt is a feature caller at the 20th Anniversary of the Logan City Square Dance Centre. We started the year on Friday 9th with two squares on the floor for part of the night. The ceiling fans ran flat out, but it was not as hot as it has been lately, so we didn't need to close up the hall to run the air conditioner. It was great to dance again and catch up with people we haven't seen since last year. Some are still away so Matt is looking for an extra angle to dance the left hand side at our Tuesday night learners group. We look forward to getting back to dancing with our learners. It may take a few weeks to finish off the SSD program before they move to the Friday night club dancing. On Fridays, Matt will teach them the extra movements that take them to the Mainstream Level....
The 1st of September was our Hawaiian theme night. In the lead up to the night Matt spoke fondly of a Hawaiian shirt he had owned that Anita had thrown out. The theme gave him an excuse to buy a new one. The new shirt had to meet with Anita's approval for wearing around town, so it was not as bold as he would have liked. A few flower leis got Matt's bright colour fix for the night. Outfits worn on the night by dancers included bright and bold floral prints, a couple of grass skirts and of course, Hawaiian shirts and floral leis. It was nice to have a visiting dancer and a number of spectators on the night. A few people popped in looking for a different dance at another hall on Targo St. We might see them again at our learners class starting on the 12th of September.

This years annual Dance For Heart fund raiser was held on Friday 2nd of May 2025. Funds were raised on the night from the door takings and a raffle for a huge fruit tray. There was also a door and lucky spot prise. This year the fruit tray was won by Dot. We had a number of apologies from dancers with other commitments and a few illnesses on the night. Dancing was still fun with one square on the floor all night with different dancers swapping in and out. The Tuesday learners were invited to join in on the night so brackets alternated between SSD to suit the half way mark they had reached, Mainstream and Plus. Most dressed in red or with a heart theme and we got to see Matt in his fancy heart pants with matching tie. The funds raised will go towards supporting the Heart Start Cornish Walking Track Program in Bundaberg. With Jo L away, Sandy ran supper with the additions of Kingston biscuits and apple slices.
