Past Events - 2001

The following events, listed in reverse chronological order (i.e. latest first), were organised or supported by the Association in 2001:

  • December: New Year's Eve Karaoke Dance - $5 Entry

    A happy group of revellers came along to the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre and saw the New Year in with some dancing and sing-a-longs. Door, raffle and spot prizes added to the fun and enjoyment of the evening with a great range of music provided by our usual DJ Mr. Ron Arnold.

    Our thanks again go to those who helped set-up, cater and clean-up at the end of a great night. Special thanks again go to Julie and Andrew Otremba who did so much to organise and stage another wonderful event for the local community. Return to top

  • December: Carols By Candlelight - FREE

    An annual event for the Yanchep and Two Rocks community.

    This year, Carols By Candlelight was held in conjunction with the City of Wanneroo's Centenary of Federation Launch.

    Activities commenced outside the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre at 2:30PM with entertainment, stalls, food and fun activities for families with an Australian Theme. The festivities then continued at 7:00PM indoors with children's Carols and activities, Santa and then the more traditional Christmas Carols.

    This year's Carols By Candlelight was a HUGE SUCCESS with approximately 350 people enjoying the spirit of Christmas with carols and entertainment items.

    A drawing competition was also held for children with the theme "What Christmas means to me". There were prizes for each of the following Age categories: 5 years and under, 6 to 8 years, 9 to 11 years, 12 to 15 years old. Prizes were sponsored by the Yanchep-Two Rocks Senior Citizens Association Inc., Yanchep-Two Rocks Arts & Craft Workshop and the Country Women's Association Yanchep District Branch. All entries were displayed at Carols By Candlelight and the winners were announced during the Centenary of Federation Launch.

    The Association would like to sincerely thank the Carollers who encouraged the singing of the Carols and the Readers who inspired us with their services from the local Son City Christian Fellowship, the Anglican Church and the Catholic Church. Our thanks also go to Marion Ferguson, Larry Parkes, Dans Ez, Junior Bootscooters, Kathleen Joyce, all the children who performed so wonderfully and, of course, our many helpers who helped in so many ways to make it one of the best Carols By Candlelight around.

  • November: Spring Dance - $5 Entry

    Coinciding with the Blessing Of The Fleet on Sunday 4 November 2001, the Association held another successful Spring Dance on Saturday 3 November 2001 at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre.

    DJ Mr. Ron Arnold provided music for all ages (including requests) and the Renegade Bootscooters, Kisamra Belly Dancers and Dans Ez all provided wonderful demonstrations of their dance styles.

    Some of those in attendance were lucky winners of door, spot and raffle prizes.

    Thanks go to the Renegade Bootscooters and Diane Guise MLA for their donation of prizes and to the many people who helped in the setting and clearing up. Return to top

    August: Quiz Night - $5 Entry

    The Association's annual Quiz Night at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre was a GREAT SUCCESS. It was terrific to see so many people come along to test their knowledge and have a laugh or two.

    The team representing the Yanchep-Two Rocks Police Rangers won the $50 Club/Group prize just for booking a table and turning up on the night. Many participants won door prizes, raffle prizes and spot prizes for novelty activities, fastest answers and weird and wonderful answers.

    The results of the quiz were:

    Table 13 avoided the walk of shame by leaving before they could be presented with the wooden spoon prize. So a table representing the Yanchep District of the Country Women's Association (which came second last) took home the booby prizes.

    The Yanchep-Two Rocks Recreation Association would like to thank the following people and businesses for their support - without them, such an enjoyable event would not have been possible:

    Last but not least, special thanks to Terry, our magnificent quiz master and the many volunteers who helped with setting-up, the scrumptious supper and the clean-up afterwards. Your efforts demonstrate the great community spirit we have here in Yanchep-Two Rocks. Return to top

  • August: Country and Western Dance - $10 Entry

    The Hoedown, at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre, organised by the Renegade Bootscooters supported by the Yanchep-Two Rocks Recreation Association, was another great success. It was a fund-raiser to help the Renegade Bootscooters to get to Tamworth NSW next year to participate in an attempt to break the record for the Longest Line Dance.

    A large contingent of locals and many Bootscooters from Joondalup and Quinns Rocks came along and enjoyed themselves while supporting our local Renegades. Wayne & Val (from "The Swaggies") provided plenty of great foot tapping music for all kinds of dancing including, of course, Bootscooting.

    There were door prizes, spot prizes, a raffle and prizes for the Best Dressed Cowboy and Cowgirl.

    Entertainment included the Kisamra Belly Dancers, Bootscooting demonstrations by a Junior Champion and a brief appearance by our local Bush Poet Barry Higgins.

    The supper provided by the Renegades was magnificent.

    The Renegades and the Recreation Association thank their many helpers and following sponsors: Sun City Holidays, Sun City News, Lotterywest, WA Salvage Joondalup, Burswood Casino, Botanic Golf Gardens, McDonald's Mindarie and Bakewell. Return to top

  • June: Winter Dance - $5 Entry

    Many locals (and some from further afield) forgot the previous week's cold and wet weather and enjoyed the warm atmosphere of the Winter Dance on a balmy Saturday night in June. In every respect, the night was a GREAT SUCCESS.

    The entertainment was provided by the Kisamra Belly Dancers, the Renegade Bootscooters and our local Bush Poet extraordinaire, Barry Higgins. Our regular DJ, Ron Arnold, again provided a great selection of music for a good, old style community dance.

    Our thanks again to our regular helpers and the many extras who helped set-up the hall on the Saturday afternoon. Thanks also to the ladies who prepared the supper, including some lovely soups.

  • May: Open Day/Car Boot Sale - FREE

    Our Open Day/Car Boot Sale on Saturday 19 May was a great community event. It provided an opportunity for local individuals and groups/clubs to have stalls and promote their activities to the community. Hundreds of locals turned up and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The event was held at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre, the Association's base in Two Rocks WA.

    Stalls, activities and entertainment included:

    Unfortunately, contrary to the Weather Bureau's forecast, unexpected rain about mid-morning put a dampener on the outdoor activities and sent many of the 21 car boot sellers packing.

    The Association would like to express its sincere thanks to:

    • Andrew and Julie Otremba who again put in an absolutely magnificent effort in organising such a big and successful event;
    • all the wonderful helpers who pitched in and made it happen;
    • the helpers who stayed on afterwards and cleaned up;
    • all of the individuals and groups who took part; and
    • all the people who turned up and supported the event.

  • February: Summer Dance Karaoke - $5 Entry

    Our Summer Dance Karaoke was a great success. Our DJ, Ron Arnold, again provided a great range of music for dancers and singers of all ages. Some of the Karaoke singers were good, some were really good and some were 'UNFORGETTABLE'.

    Thanks to our sponsors the Blue Dolphin Coffee Shop Restaurant, Phil Renkin, Dave Hall and our many helpers.

  • January: Australia Day Breakfast - FREE

    We kicked off 2001 in fine style with the biggest and best Australia Day Breakfast so far. Over 500 breakfasts were served in less than two hours while everyone was entertained by the Kangaroo Creek Gang, Oz Delight and Bananas the Clown.

    The Association is very grateful for the support of Yanchep Sun City Pty. Ltd. (Tokyu), the Wanneroo Safer Citizen program and our many volunteers. Their efforts provided the community with a great day. Return to top
