Past Events - 2005

The following events, listed in reverse chronological order (i.e. latest first), were organised or supported by the Association in 2005:

  • December: New Year's Eve Dance - $10 Entry

    Those who attended the New Year's Eve Dance at the Phil Renkin Recreation Centre in Two Rocks, rocked in 2006 with great revelry and enjoyment.

    Popular duo Bruce and Robyn rocked the old year out and rolled the New Year in with only two short breaks. The two new sets of mood lights were very effective. The entry charge included a light supper. A raffle and door prize added to the excitement of the night. Some revelers enjoyed themselves so much that they didn't want to go home.

    The Association would like to thank those who helped to set-up the hall and prepare the supper and those who stayed on and helped with the clean up afterwards. Altogether, another great event organised and enjoyed by the local community. Return to top
