What happened at Northside this week?
2014
4th December 2014 Christmas Party
3 Squares for Plus and 4 for Mainstream. More than 40 people in the Hall
Callers, Gary P. , Elaine D., Margaret B., David Pearce, Kay Walker and Glenn.
Hampers for raffle prizes looked great, even more raffle prizes arrived on the night.
Thank you to everyone for their raffle donations as well as supper contributions.
What a fabulous night, pretty hot - but no rain, even had people sitting out on the verandah.
Even though it was a free night at the door, we made enough with the raffle to donate
$100 to the Salvos for their Christmas appeal.
See the "Pictures" page for photos of the night.

6th November 2014 What a Storm!!!
Not enough dancers for Plus tonight.
Those that had ventured out, started the night with a hot cuppa.
Eventually enough dancers arrived for a square of Mainstream.
Due to poor numbers and very bad weather,
we decided to call it a night really early, at just after 8pm.
We did dance 3 brackets, Elaine and I had a good duet bracket.
Anyone who had already paid has a credit for their next dance.

4th September 2014
22 dancers this week. I think the highlight that stands out is Margaret.
Waiting for a lift and wondering why it didn't arrive.
They thought she had rung with Laryngitis, but it was Lorna.
Very nice of Margy from Caboolture to go and pick her up.
The running joke of the evening.....
Margaret......How come you are calling so well if you have laryngitis?
A full square away, hope they're well soon.
