• New Years Eve Dance - Friday 31 December 2004

  A good crowd of about 110 people partied in the New Year at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre in Two Rocks on a balmy Friday New Year's Eve.

  Kathryn Kyle and the JJ Quartet provided a great mix of music that got the locals and visitors singing and kicking up their heels into the New Year.

  A number of lucky revellers scored some nice raffle and door prizes.

  Everybody reflected on the tragic Boxing Day tsunami in Asia and South Asia during a respectful minute's silence early in the evening and over $300 was raised through cash donations and the sale of CDs generously donated by Kathryn Kyle.

  Thanks once again to those who helped prepare the light supper and also those who helped with the set up of the hall and clean up afterwards.

• December: Carols By Candlelight - FREE

  A great crowd of about 300 people came along and joined in the Christmas Spirit by singing along to the Carols at the annual, local Carols By Candlelight at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre on a warm Saturday evening in December.

  Elves Deirdre and Bill Fleming MC'd the evening which included an opening prayer led by Father Francis and performances by the Yanchep District High School Choir and the Wandoo Singers, supported by organist Marion Ferguson. Glow sticks and bracelets added to the mood of the evening and Santa distributed little bags of lollies to the children.

  Tea, coffee, cordial and biscuits were provided as refreshments.

  The Association thanked Ken, Maureen, Theresa, Eric, Maisie, Bill and Gerome for helping with the setting up and clearing up afterwards. Their efforts, along with those of the MC's, performers and all the men, women and children who came along and participated, made this another wonderful local community event.

• November: Divas Through The Ages - $15 Entry

  Some really great music, entertainment and dancing were enjoyed by a lively and enthusiastic crowd at the Divas Through The Ages event at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre, Two Rocks on a cool Friday evening in November. The event was jointly organised by the Recreation Association and the Arts and Cultural Centre of Two Rocks/Yanchep Association and was funded by the City of Wanneroo through the Beach to Bush Festival.

  Kathryn Kyle performed three sets of songs from Divas through the ages including Shirley Bassey, Celine Dion, and Barbara Striesand. Entertainment during the intervals included Irish Dancing by Alarna Lambert and Tai Chi Sword and Fan Dance Displays by Tony Chia and Dianne Lewis. Dance music was provided by Steve Davies.

  This was a fundraising evening with funds going to purchase lighting for other such events that the whole community will benefit from.

  Our thanks to those who helped to organise this great event, the performers and those who helped with the supper, the set-up and the clean up afterwards.

• September: Volunteers Breakfast - Free Entry for Volunteers

  A free breakfast at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre in Two Rocks was enjoyed by about 130 invited volunteers on a mild Saturday morning in September.

  The innovative breakfast was initiated and organised by the Yanchep-Two Rocks Recreation Association to acknowledge and thank the many volunteers that we have in our area.

  City of Wanneroo Mayor Jon Kelly welcomed and thanked the volunteers and highlighted the important role volunteers play in the local community. Member for Wanneroo, Dianne Guise MLA also thanked all of the local volunteers including those present at the breakfast and gave a personal perspective of the influences voluntary groups and their services had on her own life.

  Entertainment was provided by local international singer Kathryn Kyle.

  The Association would like to thank those special volunteers who helped with the set up, the cooking and the clean up afterwards and the following who supported the breakfast:

  • Dianne Guise MLA for Wanneroo
  • Judi Moylan MHR for Pearce
  • Yanchep Sun City Pty. Ltd.

  A good crowd of 155 locals and visitors thoroughly enjoyed a glittering Hoedown at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre in Two Rocks on a cool Saturday evening in August. The Hoedown was organised by the Renegade Bootscooters and the Yanchep-Two Rocks Recreation Association.

  Lots of energetic people enjoyed line dancing to live music by Sue Donald as well as kicking up their heels to general dance music. There was also an Irish Dancing demonstration. Some lucky people took home Door, Spot and Raffle prizes.

  Proceeds from the night went to the Yanchep Surf Lifesaving Club and to purchase equipment for the Renegade Bootscooters.

  Thanks to Lorraine Wallis for organising and hosting this really great event and those who helped including the set-up, the wonderful supper and the clean up afterwards.

• July: Sing-A-Long - $5 Entry

  What a great idea for a cold Saturday night in winter. Get together with a bunch of friends and acquaintances and have a good old sing-a-long! Its amazing what vocal talents some of our locals have been keeping to themselves.

  With melodious singing and music provided by Patrick Burke, uplifting numbers by special guest artiste Kathryn Kyle and wonderful piano solos by Patrick's daughter-in-law Joanne, everybody enjoyed a great night.

  Thanks to those who assisted with the set up and preparations including the delicious soup and the clean up afterwards.

  A small but lively crowd thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the Rock N Roll dance at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre in Two Rocks on a lovely Saturday night in May.

  Some contributed to the mood of the night by coming dressed in their Rock N Roll gear. Everybody rocked the night away to the wonderful music of Bruce and Robyn.

  Thanks to all who helped with the set-up of the hall, the supper and the clean up afterwards.

• March: Quiz Night - $5 Entry

  On a warm Saturday evening in March, about 70 people attended the Association's Annual Quiz Night. The crowd at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre were puzzled, tested and teased with music, entertainment and general knowledge questions devised by members of the Fab Four and Terry Loftus.

  The Yanchep Ladies Soccer Club won the $50 Club/Group prize just for booking a table and turning up on the night. Many happy quizzers won door prizes and raffle prizes.
