Hi to everyone,
What a great night we had last night, thanks to Beth and Steve. Theme was spring, bright and colourful and we all did shine.
It was also Beth and Steve’s 1st anniversary being one year since starting the Saturday night dance last year.
Congratulations to you both. We have thoroughly enjoyed the dancing, the music, your enthusiasm and the fun you have brought to the Saturday night dance.
A big thank you to you both.
And a big thank you to the team, Doug and Libby, John and Sue and Frank for doing such a good job at cleaning the floor prior to the dance.

MS BIKE RIDE TO WOOLONGONG
A MESSAGE FROM Graham King.
I am again taking part in the MS Sydney to the Gong Bike Ride to be held on Sunday 3 November 2024, which is the main annual fundraiser for MS. This is the 17th time I have ridden in this event and the first time as an octogenarian. I turned 80 in March 2023 and entered for last year’s Gong Ride but it was cancelled on the day of the event due to very bad weather. However, it was still a big fundraiser for MS and I would again like to sincerely thank all of you who donated last year to my page and together we raised over $1,600 for MS.
I am therefore taking on this challenge to ride from Sydney to the Gong again to help people living with MS to get the support they need to achieve their goals and live life to the fullest.
Multiple sclerosis strikes people in the prime of their lives, and there's no known cure. That's why I have again challenged myself to ride to Wollongong to fight MS. Help me make sure no one faces MS alone. A donation can be made through my page https://www.msgongride.org.au/fundraiser/grahameking
When the page comes up click on DONATE and then follow the instructions.
If more information needed, please talk to Grahame at dancing.

Hi to everyone,
I hope you are all enjoying this lovely weather! There I go, I’ve done it again said the weather is lovely and now it’s the complete opposite.
Well, it was good to be outside yesterday, and it was good weather, so what else is there to do but clean out the fishpond. Something I have not wanted to do in the winter months. But its springtime and I presume my fish will be breading again very soon, so I needed to take last year’s babies to the pet shop to give them a new home. There was only nine to giveaway, surprisingly as they laid so many hundreds of eggs last year. Then it was home again to hose everything down, and clean the pump, which is a fiddly thing to do. Lucky the weather was good as I got a little wet.
I wrote of the many flowers blooming in my garden last week, and this is the grevillea I couldn’t name, and still can’t, the birds love it.
But there are a few of us working hard and producing some wonderful blooms in the garden.
These are Pam’s orchids, of which I got 2 beautiful sprays on Wednesday.
The stems are so long!
And these Roses grown by Angus, see below.
I especially like the yellow one.
Happy gardeners and happy dancers. We are now off to Jeff and Barbara’s afternoon tea dance.

News from Jan

01/09/2024

To all a very HAPPY FATHER'S DAY
Have a wonderful day.
We chose a blue theme for Wednesday Father’s Day celebration, and I thank you all for participating. My apologies though for not taking a group photo. I did however organise one photo, and that was of the lucky door prize winners.
Congratulations, I hope you have enjoyed your bag of goodies.
-------------------------------------
John and Sue have been taking photos too. The azaleas are flowering beautifully in their garden. They are so pretty.
First day of spring and the flowers are coming out in my garden too, irises, kangaroo paw, plus another native with an abundance of small red grevillea type flowers. I planted it so long ago I can’t remember what it’s called, but it is very pretty.
I found this beautiful little fellow in the garden too. For such a small frog it makes a lot of noise.
Sue and John shared a photo of their frog too. It’s quite a bit older than my frog being bought for the children some 38 year ago. It was buried under the weeds for a little while but now resurrected has brought back some lovely memories.
-------------------------------------
ADD SUNDAY 13TH OCTOBER TO YOUR DIARY for the Annual BBQ at Kay’s place.
A good time to relax and have a chat with friends.
If you would like to add your name to the list, please talk to Doug and Libby.

Socks did not disappoint today at Wyee Dance

25/08/2024

Hi to everyone,
I started writing this yesterday by saying what wonderful weather we are having. It is so much warmer! But now we are back to another grey and rainy day, still thankful it’s not too cold though.
My Desert Rose at the front door also doesn’t like the cold weather. Well, I am hoping it’s just the weather. It doesn’t look too healthy at the moment, and I am trying to remember, did it look like this last winter?
Hopefully, it will recover as the weather gets warmer and be in full bloom again in January.
If you have one, does it look as sad as mine?
I must say sad is not what we were last night. Lorraine put on a wonderful dance again and we all had a great night. Thanks Lorraine

Wyee sock challenge was colourful this week

18/08/2024

Hi to all,
Hoping this finds you all well and having a happy weekend.
Happy dancing at Jeff and Barbara’s last night. A good time was had by all.
And a very happy time was had last Sunday 10th at the “Danztastic Ballroom Big Bash” at St Marys with special guests Andrea and John Barwick, and Patti and Tony Gilbert.
A wonderful afternoon and night of dancing also catching up with people we hadn’t seen for quite a while. As well as all this it was Beth’s Birthday, and we celebrated with a huge birthday cake organised by Frank.
There was enough for a piece now and some more to take home!
A wonderful time was had by all with a great floor to dance on.
-------------------------------------
That statement “a great floor to dance on” does not apply to our dance floor at Wyee, at the moment, unfortunately!
The Wyee Hall Committee AGM was on Wednesday night which Lorraine and I both attended, hoping that we would find out when repairs to the floor would start. This information was not in writing, so Lorraine and I went to visit Council on Thursday morning. Tracey from the hall committee armed us with a list of people we could talk to. Although all these people were at a meeting when we arrived, we were asked if we would like to wait. Of course, the answer was YES!
We were informed that the meeting was all about the hall floor. They could not give a date as to when the work would commence but have stated that it is a top priority.
We have tried our best to gain results, with Lorraine and I giving our contact details to them so they can keep us informed.
We are hopeful of providing you with some good news next week. Which will make us all happy.

Lorraine has also sent out an email on the subject plus the hire of another hall for Saturday 24th night in the Gwandilan area.

Copy of Lorraine’s Message below.

With all that being said I feel I need to put forward to you that I have found another large Hall for next Saturday 24th August, but it is in Gwandilan area, which is about I would say 15 minutes in time difference.
I am going to ask to respond to me if you would be attending my dance (Saturday 24th) this week, mainly because the cost of the hall is much higher than Wyee Hall but for the one week we would be able to cover the cost with at least 40 persons attending.
May I ask you to respond to me as quick as possible, if you are going to come along, or not and, if I can reach the numbers I will book the hall.
[email protected]
PLEASE RESPOND ASAP

I have also contacted Morisset Multipurpose Centre for hall hire. I will let you know when I receive an answer.
