Shameless plug alert...

My alter ego is calling a Bush Dance at Burnie High School this Thursday night, 1st October between 7pm and 9pm for Leighlands Christian School. Everyone is welcome and the event will only set you back $5 per person, couple or family. Don't be put off that it's being hosted by a school. My job is much easier if I have plenty of grown-up dancers to have a crack at favourites such as Strip the Willow, Gallopede, Heel-and-Toe Polka, Waves of Tory, etc. If I only get primary school kids, I will be stuck doing the Hokey Pokey and the Chicken Dance all night! Please come!!!!

There is a good chance that people who enjoy bush walking will also enjoy bush dancing. I certainly do.

P.S. Out-of-towners may wonder why there's a dance on a Thursday night. It's due to it being Burnie Show Day Eve so the following day's a public holiday in those parts. Thursday is also the first official day of the Burnie Shines celebration.

Yeah, the first day that the sun comes out in Burnie since last Summer! :lol:
You could tell the mainlanders that and they'd believe it... They used to believe Tassie had a National Potato day and a National Onion day.

Hmmm.... My boys go to Leighland, I wonder why I didn't know about it. Perhaps I'd better read the last newsletter :oops:

I might try to get there if I don't fall in a heap after 3 days of a new job! Not much stamina here I'm afraid.
