30th AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL SQUARE DANCE

CONVENTION UPDATE * * * HOBART '89 Our committee were very pleased to have the opportunity to meet and talk with so many dancers who approached our booth at the Sydney National Convention. A large number of those dancers indicated their intention to ~ have a devil of a time & come to Tassie in '89 H and so were eager to learn a lot more about our island state's attractions, the venue and of course, most importantly where to stay. To this end, all our committee, plus a few willing helpers, were in constant de­mand answering numerous enquiries and making some firm bookings. Special thanks to Robyn Ladd of the Sydney office of the Tasmanian Visitors Corporation for her untiring and valuable assistance during the entire weekend. A full updated list of hotels/motels, holiday flats and caravan parks is included in this issue. Please take note of the new tariffs. You will also notice that due to some motels/flats being fully booked already that have been deleted from the list and replaced by others. For the benefit of those who have COPies of Tasbureau's · Travelways~ or the "Treasure Islan­der~ papers, the apparent discrepancy in tariffs is because the costs quoted therein are "per person~ and NOT ~per couple N

as shown on the registration forms. For some brief background information and photos of our Accommodation Officer, Rex Wilkins, and our Transport and

Tours Officer, Sue Wyatt, see the profiles in this issue, which also will tell you how you may contact them. They are both very capable of fulfilling all your travel or accommodation needs to your complete satisfaction. feedback from the 29th National and Expovention has indi­cated that dancers would prefer a Trail-in Dance rather than a Trail-out Dance, therefore, the committee has decided to can­cel the dancing on Tuesday, 25th April '89 and substitute With a dance on Thursday 20th April '89. This will leave the Anzac Day holiday free to allow those who wish to return home then to do so without missing out on any dancing. Further details will be available at a later date. Callers and round dance/clogging cuers please note that you can obtain your appropriate Callers Registration Forms on ap­plication to your respective state aSSOCiations. Quite a number of Dancer Registration Forms were handed out from our booths, both at Sydney and Brisbane Conven­tIOns, however, If you have not yet received one, details will be published on a regular basis in this magazine. Hoping to hear from you very soon, in the meantime - Happy dancing and keep smiling.

p <> F R I s --L E Rex Wilkins and Sue Wyatt

It is my pleasure to introduce you to two of the Committee members of the 30th Australian National Square Dance Convention Inc. Firstly Rex Wilkins who is organising all the accommodation and secondly Sue Wyatt who is in charge of the transport and tours.

Rex IS a successful ~If-employed In­

surance agent who has 20 year~ on the job experience behind him. He takes great pnd:? In his two lovely daughters, Rachel and Emily He en· IOYS tra~elling. an occasional game of golf and learning to play the gUitar, HIS in terest in !.quare dancing began 6 years ago when he went along to a "one night stand" . Rex has served on several different committees In· cluding a Tasmanian State (onllt'n-tion , His first taste of Nationals was at the 1985 convention in Per1h

With the exception of Geelong last year he has attended all Nationals since and re<ently combined the last one In Sydney and Expoventlon WIth an eKten~ve honeymoon tour of the Queensland coast as far as Calms With his brand-new wrfe, Maree. Maree who IS a dental nurse also started square dancing about 6" years ago In r~ard to next years National to be held in Hobart, Rex has taken con­Siderable time aqualntJng himseH With fi rst hand knowledge of a com­prehenSive accommodation list which indudes a full range of hotels! motels, holiday flats, "home-share" hosts and caravan parks which should SUit all yOlJr requirements from the most budget·minded needs to top of the range tastes. Many of these are not on the offiClalll5t but details are available from Rex. These lists are designed to save you time, money and effort In planning yOlJr stay in Hobart With the mrnlmum of fuss and expense. A limited number of square dancers in the Hobart area have offered "billets" - contact Rex r~ard ing these also. A brief call to Rex is all that is necessary as he will gladly call you back at a time to suit you or if you prefer to write to him, his address is -Rex Wilk ins, P.O. 451 , Rosny Park, TA5 7018 Business hours Telephone Number (002) 44 6384 After HOUfS Telephone Number (002) 44 2834

')ue Wyatt IS a teacher at a primary school of about 500 pupils in the Hobart suburb of Rokeby She has a Grade 5 class and IS in charge of the computers from Kindergarten through to Grade 6. In addition, th is year Sue IS acting Senior Teacher for the prrmary section of the school. She IS a relative new-comer to the activity of square danCing as she has only been involved for about 3 years. Her enthUSiasm and interest in all as­pects of the square dancing scene, however, makes up for any lack of experrence It seems to be In her

blood as both her parents were Tasmanian representatives in square dancing back in the late '50's Sue started learning round dancing ap­proximately 12 months ago and to add to her achievements, in Sydney, joined the contra dance aS5OOallon - a sideline which has interested her for some Orne She IS presently paSSing on her knowledge to her Class 5 students. It is hoped that they Will become profiCient enough to do her credit at future arts and dance fesova ls In the Hobart area as well as per­form at the 30th National Convention next year. Sue's first National ex­perrence was al Geelong Coovention last year and she has followed that up With the 29u, National th iS year but due to the laSSie school holtdays finrshlng the same weekend was unfortunately unable to go on to the Expoventlon. This dldn·t prevent her VIsiting the Sunshine State and Expo beforehand though! The relatively little spare time Sue has remarnlng IS filled to overflowing with her other Interests in amateur radio (through Girl Guides), geneal. ogy, travelling, reading, tenpin bowling and a5 editor/publisher of a monthly circular for the Hobart Walking Club as weil as the Tasmanian square dancing magazine Stepping Out. Her experience in organi~ing many activi ties involving transport for both school and guide groups will stand her in good stead for her position in arrangrng transport and tours for next year; National. Her enthusiastic approach to the job is already paying dividends. The old adage says that if you want a job done well - ask a busy person. ThiS is certainly the case with Sue so please don't hesitate to contacxt her with any transport or travel enquiries you may have. Being so busy she would prefer to deal with your requirements by phone as she has very tittle time to reply to letters. Simply make a quid: cali, leaving your name, telephone number, and a suitable time for her to call yOlJ back. During school hours (002) 47 8398 After hours (002) 44 6604

HOBART 21 - 25 AUPEUDL 1989

UPDATE Nearly half thc anticiplltcd num ber of dancers have registered so far and others arc doing likewise at a steady ralC. The dance rcgl~trat!on fec tl!'!!!! 21' Febru<l ry is S28.00 and wi!! thcn in!:rea~e 10 S30.00. In the event of the necessity to cancel for any reason a $5.00 c;lIlcellation fcc per registration will apply.

Arra ngements have been made for the IWO conventions dinners to be held in thc Ballroom of thc Sheraton Hobart Ho tel which is located Just acros~ thc road from the ve nue, The menu on Satur­day 220d April will be roa~ t sca~oncd wrkey with cranberry MIUCtO and \'cgclables with fruit salad for dessert. The Sunday evening meal is to be a buffe t of :l!>SQrlcd cold mea ts - beef. ham. roast lamb and chicken with a selection of salads fo llowed by an a~sorted of gateaux and pastrie~ . T imes (or both meals arc fro m 5.30 pm tu 7.30pm and sea ting wili be at round tables designed for ten people. Price per person is $17.00. Bookings are essential as the Sheraton need to know the number to cater for each day.

Due to the relatively small number of bookings received so far for the day tour on Monday 24th Apri l by steam train to Nalional Park. it has unforlunlllely been necessary to cancel it. Howevcr, it wi]] be substituted by a coach tour with barbcquc lunch to the Nallonnl Park and Rus~cI Falls which will cost 1cs~. as well as allowing additional time for sightseeing or relaxi ng.

REPORT As the convention programmes will be posted out individually to all registered dancers. it is important that the Secretary, Iris Weatherbuf!1, is advised of any ch,mge of address. The d ressed sc t dances. programmed for Saturday night. will be " We've got a Good Fire Going'" called by John Weatherbum and "Time" ca lled by Cyril Edwards. The figure fo r each o f these dances is listed separately in this issue. Cyril will a lso be co­ordi nating thc "Sail-in" Dance as host caller on thc Able T asman on Wednesday 19th April. It should be noted that in order to qualify for thc 10% passenger fare on this special cruise , intend­ing passengers must book by call ing TT Lines free Reservations number 008 030W ONLY and quote "SQ 504".

UPDATE R. E POR.T

Well. it will not oe lo ng now before we can all say "G'day" to o ur square danci ng friends from allove r Oz and Kiwiland who we meet once a year or perhaps fo r the first lime at "The National", Th e Hobarl Convention which seemed a long way off three years ago is now looming up fast and an exci ted fee ling of anticipation of anCl her memorable square dancing expe ri ence is building up among dance rs in Tasmani 'I, as I expect it is. among those who wi lt be jo ining us here .

J UST A FEW POINTS THAT SHOULID BE NOTED

Con vention Day TQUTS: Dancers itfe reminded Ihal the Slea m-train trip to Na tional Park o n Monday has been replaced by a coach tour to the same place . A barbeque lunch is included. A correction to the previous report - the cost of this to ur is unaltered and remains at $36. The o ther Jay lOur by coach to Po rt Arthur has been cancelled due to lack of inte rest . however. Tasbureau has a tour available to Port Arthur and the Bush Mill on the same day for $48 . Lu nch is no t included but the admission charge to both complexes is.

Convention Mt uls: O nce again I would like to remi nd everyone that the evening meals on bot h Saturday and Su nday will be at the Sheraton Hotel just across the road fro m the ve nue . Cost is $17 .00 per head and bookings are essential. I also wish to stress that ho tels within clo~e walking distance of the Ci ty Hall do not serve counter-teas on Sundays. and apan from a pizza place and a hotdog shop nothi ng much is available nearby . Restaurants a few blocks away are of the mo re eltpensive variety .

Dear Richard,

19th August 1988.

Further to our conversation re a photography booth at the City Hall during our convention, the committee feel that it would be a good service to offer the dancers.

Would you please advise if you will be able to attend and what your requirements would be, as we do not have a lot of spare room to set up booth space we would need to know well in advance.

Thanking you.

Yours faithfully,
