October 2023

Just a reminder there is no social dance on Sunday 5th November.  We start up again on Sunday 12th November.  Don't forget we are back to the usual time of 2-5 pm at the Slovenian Club. Our Dance lessons have finished for this year.

Jump n Jive

 

We are looking forward to Jump N Jive playing for us at the Harmonie German Club this Saturday. They are considered Adelaide's premier 50's & 60's Rock 'n' Roll Band. Bookings are filling quickly so you had better get in soon for tickets. Doors open at 6pm – we would appreciate it if people did not come into the auditorium before 6pm. Also please do not put reserved signs on tables. The band plays from 7pm to 11pm. We will be selling raffle tickets during the evening. Come along for a great night of dancing and socialising.

 

If you wish to have dinner in the restaurant, please contact the Harmonie German Club to book. They will also deliver your meal to you in the hall.

 

Rockin on East – October Long Weekend

This was a great weekend away again with some great bands – a few Southside members attended and enjoyed. The new Committee did a great job and hopefully the event gets even bigger.

 

Chromefest - The Entrance - 27-29 October

Great to hear we had members travelling to enjoy Chromefest again this year; and we hope to hear how it went.

Sunday Venue – The Slovenian Club in Woden

Southside Rock’n’Roll Club holds dance practice every Sunday (except long weekends and the Sunday after a Friday or Saturday night dance) at the Slovenian Club in Phillip. The hall is booked from 2-5 pm. We will have music for social and practice dancing from 2pm. Cost is $5 per person; Price TBA if we have live music or a guest DJ. Please see the Calendar below for dates.

The Slovenian Club is at 19 Irving Street in Phillip. There is a bar and plenty of free parking on the weekend. The Slovenian Club is supporting us – please support them by becoming a member – Membership renewals are now due.

Dance Lessons

Our first dance lessons of the year have been very successful and a lot of fun was had by all. Di Venables was our instructor and everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves. We had around 30 dance students including quite a few new members. We hope they stick around and come to our future events and see what fun we have. We do encourage experienced dancers to get our newbies up to dance. Many thanks to Di and to our members who were able to come along and partner our students. We hope to have more dance lessons in the New Year!

Southside Rock’n’Roll Club Jackets and Club Shirts

Samples available to try on at dance practices. We have Club jackets $80 and shirts $40 available. Samples available to try on at dance practices – just ask one of the committee members. If we don’t have your size in stock it can be ordered. Please note the current shirts are a very small fitting.
