MARCH 2011
The first Dance Social for 2011 @ Ingleburn RSL was held on 11th March. The Band was Mr James. Steve & The Guy's from the band, pumped the hall full of great Rock'n'Roll Music, giving everyone an opportunity to dance, dance, dance. Another great night out
March saw a group of Big Als students, who joined the many others, travelling to Hunter Valley, for The Kurri Kurri Nostalgia Festival. The Weekend event was full of Old Cars, Memorabilia, Rock'n'Roll Bands, & offcourse, plenty of dancing.
The Town of Kurri Kurri, is full of history, & has been painted (on every blank wall) with murals of time gone by. A great venue for this event. Thousands of people travel to the town to take in, some of the action. Bands perform all day, on stage, both in the street & Park. There was a dance floor in front of the stages, where dancers can strut their stuff, showing off their own style of Rock'n'Roll, Rock-a-Billy & Swing. Night time brings a flurry of venues where you can eat & party, all having Bands to dance too. If you didn't get there this year, put it on your things to do list, next year.
APRIL 2011
Early April, saw our Demo Team, entertain onlookers at The Camden Show. This was our first scheduled demonstration for 2011. As usual the guy's gave the crowd a great performance, of Rock'n'Roll & Swing. Well done guy's. A few happy snaps are posted.
MAY 2011
Our Second big Dance @ Ingleburn was held on Friday 29th May. This time we had a Melbourne Band. "The Blackhill Ramblers" These guy's entertained the many Rockers (around 200) with their unique style of Country Rock, Rock'n'Roll, Rock-a-Billy & Swing. The floor was full to capacity, all night. Both the Monte Carlo & the Raffle was won by the same couple (their names being suppressed, due to their new found wealth) , making it a great night out for them. What a lucky streak.
