The closing date for the September issue is 14 August 2009. We will endeavour to publish all material submitted but reserve the right to edit or not publish your contribution. Any material published does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Danish Club or the Editor.
From the EditorThe new Club year is off to a great start with two new events coming up and the committee is busy
making plans for the coming year.
Funding is always an issue, but the
grant from the Gambling
Community Benefit Fund has inspired the committee to
approach some of the Danish
companies represented in Australia, including Lego, B&O, SAS, Vestas, Maersk, Nilfisk (just to name a few). Let’s see if the Club can get some
support from them. If you have any ideas or can help, talk to a committee
member. We may even be able to apply for grant funding from Denmark
and spend it on Danish books and toys or furniture for the Club. Speaking of
businesses, many of our members run businesses and we’ll be introducing you
to them in coming issues of the newsletter.

Try our tasty homemade ‘smorrebrod’: the menu varies from time to time, but you’ll often find ‘rullepølse’, fish wedges, pate, roast pork and ‘Esrom’ cheese. Or have a hot dog and get a drink in the bar. The bar still offers genuine Carlsberg in cans imported direct from Denmark. There is also a good variety of whites and reds.
It’s also an opportunity to buy delicious Danish pastries, specialty breads and organic biscuits direct from Britt’s Danish Delights or order in advance. You can also order smallgoods and quality meats from Flemming, the Danish butcher at Woolloongabba and pick up at the café.

Project Roof
Thanks to a generous grant of $8,140 from the Queensland Gaming Commission we were able to have our roof repaired and treated. We hope that this marks the end of our problems with water damage and thanks to the heat insulating qualities of the material applied during the treatment process, we should also notice a drop in our electricity consumption from running the airconditioning system.
The company appointed for the treatment was Advanced Asbestos Coating and the coating has extended the lifespan of the roof plus improved insulating qualities, and in general the condition of the roof is sound, so well worth the investment.
A warm thank you very much to Queensland Gaming Commission for the helping hand.

Committee 2009/2010
Nominations for the committee are due by 24 July and there are 3 vacancies to fill.

Any master chefs or cooks out there, we also need you on board. If you think it’s daunting to organise a party for 40 people, come and join us and you’ll quickly become an expert. It’s good experience.

TIL LYKKE til alle klubbens fødselarer i juli/august
15/7 fyldte Jørgen Skov 65
20/7 Henrik Caspersen
Skriv eller ring til redaktøren, hvis du kender nogen, der fejrer fødselsdag eller jubilæum eller sølvbryllup, guldbryllup, fødsel, dåb – vi vil vide det hele.
Mærkedage
Der skal være guldbryllup i år! Her er en beskrivelse hentet fra Københavns Bibliotekers nets-ted:
Når man har været gift i 50 år, kan man fejre guldbryllup. Dagen fejres på samme måde som ved sølvbryllup, men i mindre omfang og lavere tempo, da guldbrudeparret er blevet ældre og omgangskredsen snævrere.
Også ved guldbryllup sættes der æresport op omkring døren. Æresporten er lavet af gran og pyntet med årstidens blomster. Øverst sidder et skjold med guldbrudeparrets navne og årstal. der viser, hvor længe de har været gift. Skjoldet er holdt i vinrødt og guld.
Guldbrudeparret vækkes af familie og venner med hornmusik og sang, men de får lov til at sove lidt længere end ved deres sølvbryllup. Ligesom til sølvbrylluppet synges "I østen stiger solen op" og "Det er så yndigt at følges ad", hvorefter gæsterne bydes ind på morgenbord.
Guldbryllupsfesten former sig omtrent som sølvbryllupsfesten, men er knap så løssluppen, og den både starter og slutter lidt tidligere af hensyn til de ældre festdeltagere. Familien, som ofte er vokset med flere generationer, tegner sig for den største del af gæsterne. Påklædningen er almindeligt festtøj. Bordet er pyntet i dybrøde og gyldne farver som symbol på anseelse og vær-dighed. Under middagen er der taler og lejlighedssange.
Hvis gaverne ikke er pakket ud på forhånd, gøres dette under kaffen. Da guldbrudepar som re-gel har alt, hvad de har brug for, er gavebordet præget af ting, som de kan få glæde af i hverd-agen. Det kan være en rejse, tidsskriftabonnementer, teaterbilletter og lignende.
Efter kaffen spilles der op til dans, og guldbrudeparret åbner ballet med Niels W. Gades brudevals, medens gæsterne slår kreds om dem og klapper takten. Kredsen gøres mindre og mindre, indtil guldbrudeparret står helt tæt og kysser hinanden. Festen slutter efter natmaden.

Mecon-gruppen, ejer af Berlingske Media, der udgiver Berlingske Tidende, BT, Weekendavisen og en lang række andre publikationer, er tæt på konkurs, forlyder det i en artikel i Jyllands-Posten. Mecons administrerende direktør siger, at det er rent opspind.
Danmark er Europas dyreste land: I 2008 lå de danske priser 41 procent højere end gennemsnittet i de 27 EU-lande, de tre EU-kandidatlande Makedonien, Kroatien og Tyrkiet, de fire Balkan-stater Albanien, Bosnien-Herzegovina, Montenegro og Serbien samt de tre frihandelslande Norge, Schweiz og Island. Det viser tal fra Eurostat, der er EUs statistiske kontor. Det billigste EU-land er Bulgarien, der ligger 49 procent under EU-gennemsnittet. Eurostat har undersøgt priserne på 2500 varer med mere i de 37 lande i hele Europa. Og her ligger Makedonien i bund med priser, der er 53 procent lavere end snittet i EU.
På pladserne efter Danmark følger Norge og Schweiz (der begge dog ikke er medlem af EU), Irland, Finland, Island, Luxembourg, Sverige, Frankrig, Belgien og Italien. I bunden ligger Makedonien, Bulgarien og Albanien. (DR 16. juli 2009)

Irish Logic
So Paddy asks Murphy: "Why do Scuba divers always fall backwards off their boats into the water?"
To which Murphy replies: "You thick shite - If they fell forwards,they'd still be in the friggin boat."
A very confident James Bond walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman. He gives her a quick glance, then casually looks at his watch for a moment. The woman notices this and asks, "Is your date running late?" No," he replies, "Q has just given me this state-of-the-art watch. I was just testing it." The intrigued woman says, "A state-of-the-art watch? What's so special about it?" Bond explains, "It uses alpha waves to talk to me telepathically." The lady says, "What's it telling you now?" "Well, it says you're not wearing any knickers …" The woman giggles and replies, "Well it must be broken because I am wearing knickers!" Bond smirks, taps his watch and says, "Bloody thing's an hour fast."
A 10-year-old girl was walking home from school one day, when a big man on a black motorcycle pulls up beside her. After following along for a while, the biker turned to her and asks, "Hey there little girl, do you want to go for a ride?""NO!" said the little girl as she keeps on walking.The biker again pulled up beside her and asks, "Hey little girl, I will give you $10 if you hop on the back.""NO!" said the little girl as she hurried on down the street.The biker pulled up beside the little girl again and said, "Okay kid, my last offer! I'll give you 20 bucks and a big bag of candy if you will just hop on the back of my bike and we will go for a ride."Finally, the little girl stopped, turned toward him and screamed out..."Look Dad" "You're the one who bought the Honda instead of the Harley"! "YOU RIDE IT!"
Little Johnny was in the classroom bored to the back teeth on a Friday afternoon, and the teacher decided to have a game for the kids to get them thinking. 'Okay class. Now I'm going to say a famous quote, and the first person to tell me who said that quote, can have Monday off' said the teacher. 'Who is credited with writing the phrase 'To be or not to be, That is the question,' asked the teacher. Little Pham Lam Nguyen at the front of the class called out, 'Shakespeare'. 'Well done!' said the teacher, 'You can have Monday off. 'No thank you Miss. I am of Vietnamese origin and it is in our culture to study as hard as we can, so I will be here on Monday studying hard,' said Little Pham Lam Nguyen. 'Well okay,' said the teacher. The next quote is, 'I had a dream! “ Little Fri Sum Kat also at the front yelled out 'I bereiva it was Martin Ruther King!' 'Well done!' said the teacher. 'You can have Monday off' 'No thanka you miss. I am of Chinese oligin and we also do not take time offa school. Education is evelything to us, so I will be in on Monday studying hard too,' said little Fri Sum Kat. 'Okay,' said the teacher. Then she heard a voice from the back of the classroom, 'F#^*ing > Asians!' 'Who said that?' yelled the teacher in an angry tone.. 'Pauline Hanson!' yelled little Johnny. 'See ya Tuesday!!!! Thanks to Erik Lindhardt for the laughs!

News from the Committee
The committee meets once a month and at our July meeting we discussed:
Hall Hire
Our new ‘for lease’ sign has gone up and we hope to get good tenants. No news from our local councillor on the parking issue.
Annual General Meeting
The AGM will be held on Saturday 8 August 2009 at 1 pm – there will be free hot dogs, coffee and pastries. The nomination form needs to be returned to the Secretary by 24 July 2009. We need more people on the committee – please join up if you are interested in any aspect of the club’s work.
Grant Applications
Project Roof: The contractor was able to complete the job quickly and we can now complete the acquittal documentation for the Gaming Commission shortly. We’re expecting the Danish ambassador at the Store Kolde Bord in November and hope that she will unveil the plaque. In the meantime, the Committee will press on with the next application for a reconfiguration of the kitchen to comply with health and safety and new energy-saving whitegoods. We’ll also do some research into Danish grants to see if we can get funding for books (Gyldendal), toys (Lego), etc. We hope that Maersk can help with freight costs.
Maintenance
Soren has talked to the other clubs using the facilities to ensure that the premises are left in a clean condition. We’ll have a look at the verticals to see if they may be salvaged or whether we should buy some ready-made curtains.
Events
The Store Kolde Bord was a good event and we’re looking forward to a couple of busy months with Cafe Danmark and the Folk Dancers’ Special Event in July followed by the AGM and the Dyrberg Kern fashion jewellery parade in August before Cafe Danmark.
Liquor License
One or more committee members will need to complete RSA training. Currently only Henrik (and Jacqui) have been through RSA.
Money
The treasurer presented the June accounts, which showed a small deficit, as well as the full year accounts showing a profit before capital expenditure of approx $5,000. Both income and costs are down compared to last year, but the committee was comfortable with the result. The annual accounts are now with the auditor.
Membership
5 new memberships in July – but the President wants more new members. Membership renewal letters for 2009/2010 were mailed end of June and nearly half of the club’s members have paid their membership fees so far. The prize for payment by 15 July 2009 will be drawn at Cafe Danmark on 24 July: dinner to the value of $100 at Two Small Rooms at Milton.
Library
Two new RED bookcases have been set up - and filled. Roy will buy one more. There are now two lounges and a table in our library, nearly all boxes with book donations have been unpacked – now they just need to be sorted.

Det Store Kolde Bord 11 July 2009
After singing the national anthems (with some technical difficulties), 60 members and friends sat down at the beautifully set tables (flowers from Tove’s Flowers at Alderley Plaza) to sample a traditional Danish smorgasbord starting with onion herring, red herring and herring in a curry dressing. And a cool Carlsberg beer and a snaps. The herring was followed by smoked salmon, ‘rullepølse’, kasler ham, potato salad, chicken salad, warm fish wedges with remoulade, liver pate, meatballs, roast pork, baked apple and bacon. And a snaps. Or a glass of red. The cheese selection included Esrom, brie and blue cheese. The menu barely left room for coffee and the French chocolate mousse cake, which still vanished
fairly quickly together with a rhubarb and raspberry crumble. And a Gammel Dansk.Numbers were up from previous events and we had live music again. After the grown-ups had twisted and turned on the dance floor to popular tunes from the 50s through to the 90s performed by Pete Fitzgerald, the 3 girls from Toowoomba took over the dancing floor and put on a great show – thank you very much to the Marcussen family from Toowoomba.Several members used the opportunity to bring along their friends and introduce them to the Danish concept of ‘smørrebrød’ downunder and all seemed to have a great time and enjoy the food.
