- 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 1800 643 2n 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
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)

PROGRESS REPORT DARWIN 9 JUNE -13 JUNE 2011 Dear Board Members On behalf of the Committee for the 52nd National Convention, I have great pleasure in presenting this progress report. VENUE Marrara Indoor Stadium is a Northern Territory Government facility located 11 kilometres from the city of Darwin and 1 kilometre from Darwin airport. The Stadium has seating capacity for up to 1,347 people with 982 of these in gallery and bleacher seating and 365 in stalls at floor level. Seating is available for spectators requiring wheelchair access. A First-Aid room with medical items is also available.
CHILD CARE We will be providing child care facilities each evening of the convention. This will be available in an adjacent hall on the complex. The Nanny Service will provide a minimum of two nannies per session. Depending on the age of the children (under 12 months is only two children per carer and between 12 months and 3 years is three children per carer), this wi ll be a minimum of $280 and will more like:ly be around $560 per session. They also charge a one-off registration fee of $150. Wirth parents paying only $15 per session, the Convention will be covering the majority of this expense. CALLERS f CUERS Ca ilers/cuers will have access to small meeting rooms located adjacent to the main floor for practicing. Tea and coffee facilities will be avaiilable for the Caliers/Cuers in these rooms. CLOGGING The balcony of the Centre has a tiled floor and, fouowing some discussion, it is considered that this area will be suitable to accommod,ate the clogging session of the Convention. MEETINGS Apart from the Sunday morning AGM, some meetings will be held off site. All meetings will have sound and recording equipment provided where required. REGISTRATIONS Registration fonns will be available for distribution In June 2010, at the Wodonga National Convention. Payment for registrations will be accepted by cash, cheque, money order and credit cards. However, delegates wishing to pay by credit card will incur an additional cost to cover the bank charges.
THEME Monday's theme is "OLD CROCS NtGHT". Dancers wilt be invited to "Dress as your favourite old cree and dance to your fa vourite older classics!" Callers for this evening session will be asked to dig out some of their old records. This does not include teaching old movements. The dancing will remain at a consistent level. WEBStTE The Website for the 52 nd Australian National Square Dance Convention is WMY.darwinsguaredance.asn.au. This website has alre,ady had more than 1,000 'hits' on it from potential dancers who are interested in more information. The website will be continuously updated to give both Australian and overseas dancers as much information as possible prior to the Convention, An email address has been established for people to contact the commitlee directly. BUDGET Attached, as an EXCEL Spreadsheet, is a draft budget for the Convention. We have worked our figures on 450 dancers, with the earty-bird price stitt coming under $100. POST CONVENTION RECEPTtON The venue for the post-convention reception is stilt being sourced. 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. The venue that we have sourcod can cater the function as a private function but the cost per head wilt mean that fewer peopte than usual can be invited. in order to remain within our budget. DtSPENSATIONS No further dispensations are sought, since those requested in 2009. As previously reported we may be required to hold some meetings off site and further investigation has confirmed that there are no other suitable venues in thl~ Marrara vicinity for a second hall. All dancing will be programmed at the Marrara Centre. The Committee of the 52nd National Square Dance Convention will endeavour to adhere to the Constitution and Manuat for the Operations. Should there be any further requirements to work outside these guidelines we will advise the board and apply for an exe mption.
