May 14 Visit to Rainbow Squares

A square of us had a wonderful evening with a group dinner out followed by the Rainbow Squares spring wind-up dance, and we again celebrated Brent's 50th birthday. We had also enjoyed celebrating Brent's birthday at the Swinging Singles on Tuesday night. 

The theme of the dance was Around the World in 120 Minutes and Barbara's hot air balloon skirt was a great hit. Happily, Tom and Bea rescheduled Bea's birthday dinner so they could join us.  Amanda cued, fresh from her victory at the Teen Festival as the highest level Champion Cuer and Caller.  The Senior Calling Champion trophy is back in the Mawdsley household, 31 years since Brent last won it.  Megan won as Junior Cueing Champion and she and her partner were the Pre-Teen Round Dance Champions.

Welcome to the 50's Brent!

To celebrate Brent's 50th birthday, we made our wind up a 50's theme dance as a surprise for him. He did not miss a beat, and called to the theme despite having no time to prepare. Just one of the reasons we love him! Thanks to the many visitors who made it such a fun evening, and to Amanda and Megan for calling and cuing. Press here to view snapshots from the event.

That evening we also chose burgundy and white as our club colours, and are working with Sandy's Badges on how the badges will look.

Without planning it, nine Brent's Bunch couples visited the Swinging Singles on May 3, some in our new club colours. The Singles were celebrating that Brent has been calling for them for 10 years. They will have their last dance of the season Tuesday, May 10 and a few couples plan to attend. Join us!

And Saturday May 14 is the season wind-up for the Rainbow Squares. We plan to meet for dinner at the Rusty Wagon across the street from Ten Mile Grange at 5:30 p.m. Pre-rounds are at 7:00 p.m. Let me know if you want a place at dinner reserved for you.
