What Chaos will happen in 2024?
22nd April 2024
It was good night on Monday for UpBeat Chaos. 21 dancers in the hall - we did dance 2 squares most of the night - though we did finish with a 6 couple rectangle. Jan won the members draw, so it will reset for next with a Party night bonus.
Next week (29th April) is our first party night of the year. Black & White is the theme - dress the part , I will theme the music. Please bring a plate, there will be a raffle.
The Monday after our Party night (6th May) is a Public Holiday and we will not be dancing. Please keep these dates handy.

A fun night at Upbeat last night. 21 dancers in the hall - 2 squares most of the night. The dancers wanted to persevere with Left Handed Spin Chain & Exchange the Gears - we were quite successful - Boys and Girls leading the Exchanges. The members draw did not go off - so it jackpots for next week. 2 weeks until our Black & White party night (29th) - Please bring a plate, their will be a raffle.
Dress to theme and I'll try and theme the music.
Also, remember - NO DANCING - the week after (6th May) due to the Public Holiday.

Well, an interesting night last night at Upbeat. 22 dancers in the hall - we did dance 2 squares a lot of the time.
Great to see Sylvia back on the floor, it's been a little while.
I probably got a little too determined with Left Spin Chain & Exchange the Gears - I probably should have dropped it a a little while before I did. Therese won the members draw - so it will reset for next week.
Only 3 weeks until our first party night of the year.
It's a Black & White Night - dress accordingly , bring a plate and there will be a raffle - 29th April.

What to say about last night. It has been miserable weather. Only 10 dancers in the hall - so only 1 square all night - we finished a bit early - some people danced every bracket. Despite small numbers, it was still a fun night. Played with Left Handed Spin Chain & Exchange the Gears. Also Boys/Girls Load the Boat while the others Square Thru. Jan won the members draw, so it will reset for next time. Remember, no dancing next week (1st April) due to the Easter public holiday - see you on the 8th.

Another good night at Upbeat. 20 dancers in the hall - we danced 2 square for all but one bracket. Had some fun with interesting variations. Lorraine would have won the members draw , but as she was absent, it will jackpot for next week. Yes, we are dancing next week but NOT the week after on Easter Monday. We wish all those on our sick list, a speedy recovery.

Short & sweet today. It was very wet and still a lot of illness & travellers. Numbers down to 14, so we danced 1 square only all night. Jan brought along a new guy from the village at Deception Bay. Steve used to dance years ago in Sydney - we had him up on the dance floor, he did really well. Thelli won the member draw again. Let's hope the cooler weather with less rain expected brings our numbers back up. With the recent hike in hall rent, we'll have to raise our door price in the new financial year (July)

Well, despite a pile of apologies and the early threat of storms - what a great night at Upbeat Chaos. 21 Dancers in the hall - so we danced 2 squares for all but one bracket. Great to see Graham Y. back with us. We had a couple of visitors from the USA - Paul & Ruth from Boston, Massachusetts. Sid L. brought them along - they seemed to have a great time. During the evening they said to me - this is such a fun club, if it was near us, we'd join. Russell would have won the members draw but it will jackpot for next week. Really good to have Elaine & Rob along, meant I could have a dance while she called a couple of Brackets. Coming events: No dancing April 1st (Easter) and our first Party night on the 29th April (Black & White theme). Best wishes to all of those on our sick list - we miss you and can't wait to have you back on the dance floor.

A warm fun night at Upbeat Chaos. We had 21 dancers on the floor - 2 square all but 1 bracket. Good to have Heather & Thelli with us for the first time this year - Thelli also won the members draw, so it will reset for next week. Great to have Raymond from Canberra visiting with us. We danced some interesting variations of the standard figures - mostly successfully.

Another fun night at Upbeat. 18 dancers in the hall - we did dance 2 squares for the majority, but did finish the night with a 6 couple Rectangle. Denice would have won the members draw but she's off cruising - it will jackpot for next week. Just finished doing all the 2025 bookings for the hall - nothing like getting in early. It will be great when our sick list reduces and travellers return.

Great night at Upbeat Chaos. The aircon working well and 21 dancers in the hall. 2 squares just about all night.
Really good to see Christine & Kevin - they've been AWOL for a few years but they danced really well.
Margaret F. won the members drawer, so it will jackpot for next week.
We have a few people away for various reasons, we look forward to seeing back on the dance floor soon.

First night back dancing for 2024. Great to see everybody again
Yes, it was warm - I have contacted the hall people to see if there is anything can be done to improve the aircon.
We had 19 dancers in the hall - 2 squares most of the night. It will be great to have more of our people back, hopefully very soon.
Health and family situations always happen. It was great to see Linda back on the dance floor - she was absent in the last month or so of 2023.
Jan would have won the members draw but it will Jackpot for next week . I did a couple of new songs which were well received.
Unfortunately the hall rent was unexpectedly raised during the break - not much you can do - but it won't change the door cost this year.
