The latest program and dressed-set figures are due to go on our website at the end of March. Visit to get the latest information and make contact with the Committee if you need any answers. Wodonga is situated on the border between Victoria and New South Wales. Many visitors to the area like to kayak on the Murray, others prefer to have a game of golf and there are plenty of sign posted walking and cycling trails. A drive to the summit of Huon Hill, has panoramic views and the Albury War Memorial is another lookout. The original Ettamogah Pub, modeled on the archetypically Aussie watering hole, created in the drawings of Ken Maynard is north of the city at Table Top. Thurgoona, also north, has the Kinross Woolshed, which serves as the area's top country-and-western venue, featuring big-name acts amid the shearing shed decor. Nearby Wonga wetlands, attracts abundant bird life and marsupials. What should not surprise is that this part of the country is rich in villages, proud of being steeped in history. Yackandandah, Beechworth, Chiltern and Corowa all have small museums and historical buildings. Is it any wonder Wodonga was chosen for this Convention?

54 - Albury ~'s Ioc.aIIy 0Ymed free wediiy newspaper 900 da ers in for a fun time "SQUARES~ coming to Wodonga? No, but squal'e dancing is! Wodollga will host the 51st Australian National Square Dance Convention over this Queen's Birthday long weekend. Festivities commenced yesterday, June 10, and conclude on Monday, June 14. The venue will be the Wodonga Sports and Leisure Centre. Publicity officer Mary 8ee.rens outlined modern square dancing. "A caller sings a song to music, provided by II record, which includes directions to the dancers," she explained. "*1"he square in square dancing refers to the formation. M A1though the formation changes throughout the dance, it always starts and finishes in this square formation." TIle national committee expects about 8so to 900 dancers to come from all states of Australia, as well as some dancers from overseas. Ms Beerens said the convention, like most square dances, is an alcohol free event. "We are very friendly and we have II lot of good fun together," she said. "We invite Wodonga residents and other visitors to the area, to come and see us at the venue to enjoy this spectacular dance event." Generally square dancing is done in dubs throughout each state where the clubs provide a great social, fun and friendly atmosphere, as well as the dancing. Victoria holds its own State Convention each year. "Ho\\"eVt'r, this is an Australian National Convention. TIlese are also held annually and are usually rolaled belwccn the slates," Ms 8ee.rens said. "TIle convention is an opportunity for all square dancers in Australia, and some from overseas, to get together to enjoy the social and fun aspects of square dancing. ~It is also an opportunity for dancers from each state to meet and discuss the situation in their own state and maybe learn from each other. "There are no competitions and no trophies. We just dance and thoroughly enjoy ourselves." Special clothing is not required at club level, subject to the ruling of the individual club. ~Howe"er, at major functions, such as a coll\'ention, dancers are expected to dress to a suitable standard," Ms Beerens said. "'The ladies will usually wear a dress w;th full skirt or full skirt and blouse, while the men will usually wear long-sleeved shirts and neat trousers. "'The ladies' outfits are usually very colourful with frilly panties and petticoat under the skirt and the men often wear shirts to match their outfit. With footwear, the ma in requirement is that the ladies' heels are Convention In Perth. not a spike or small type that might damage the floor surface. ~ Ms Beerens said several factors were takcn into consideration when looking for a location to hold a convention. "We need to consider a number of factors such as a venue large enough for the dancers. sufficient accommodation establishments, a variety of bistros, restaurants, take-away food shops, etc and a town with a good selection of tourishype activities to attract visitors. ~We decided that Wodonga fulfilled our criteria. "We can be contacted by phoning our toll free numher n or visit our website il'ww.twentylo.net..u "Our slofan is "Let's meet again in twentylo and the theme for this National Square Dance Convcntion is "Under the Big Top- with a special dress-up night to be held on Sunday night."

It seems only yesterday that the idea of hosting the 50th National in Perth was but the dream of a handful of dancers, then that dream became a reality and now it is a very proud memory. THE VENUE The Loftus centre was the primary choice because of its central location and the fact that a number of functions had been held there in the past and we knew that the sound was of an acceptable standard for such an even!. The management then gave us their assurance that the refurbishment would be completed well in advance of the Convention and that we would be the first major booking to use the new facility. During the construction many committee members conducted drive by inspections to check on the progress of construction. Once the construction was completed to a stage we could have an actual inspection one major problem was immediately evident, the dividing wall between the two halls had a gap some 2 metres high and approx 30metres long which would have to be filled in order to avoid sound transfer. With true Square Dance ingenuity a polystyrene wall was constructed and trialled at the State Convention and it passed with flying colours. With this problem removed the venue proved to be well suited for the even!. As you will appreciate a venue of this size is and always will be a nightmare to decorate and so with the theme of Gold, Past, Present and Future, it was agreed that the majority of decorations would be placed at

68 the entrance rather than be lost in the vast expanse of the main hall. The Star ship which would take us on our future ques;t for our gold would then become the focal point in the hall and I am sure ;all would agree it was an impressive feature. SOUND All Conventions rely on sound to give the dancers an enjoyable experience and sound can make or break any dance especially one as large as a National. Our major goal was to provide good quality sound in both halls for the entire weekend through the use Hilton amps and Turntables coupled with Yak Stak Speakers. While there is other equipment out there it is not designed for square dancing and not available in such a compact form and so with help from the Lottery West the necessary equipment was purchased. The next obstacle was now that we halve the correct equipment how do we get good sound coverage to the floor? Contact was made with a source in NZ who had manufactured 2 large stands specifically for this purpose and we were able to purchase these from him and ship them over, Our Sound was complete and I am sure you will agree it was well above an acceptable standard. The two large stands have been donated by the 50th to all future nationals should they wish to use them and are now part of the convention box. FINANCES When the initial budget was formulated it was based on 800 dancers and also to make the Convention as affordable as possible to all dancers. We had a number of unexpected major expenses such as the dividing wall but with the support from the Square Dance Society of WA and the Lottery West we were able achieve a satisfactory outcome (See attached financial report)

This is due to the fact that all licenced premises in Darwin are not allowed to selve, or sell, alcohol after 11.59pm on Sundays.
