Søndag 18. november 2012 kl 10-15 JULESTUE

Julesmåkagebagning Der er fuld gang i ovnen, når børnene (og andre, der måske ikke har bagt i mange år) går i gang med at lave skønne danske julesmåkager. Hvadenten det er vanillekranse, finsk brød, rutebiler eller nissefigurer, det kommer til at smage rigtig lækkert.

Julestue Kom igang med julepynten sammen med børnene, der skal klippes og klistres stjerner og julehjerter eller fantasidyr til at komme på juletræet. Sidste år lavede Magnus et utroligt flot og meget australsk julehjerte med en koala – lad os nu se, om han kan gøre det igen i år. Vi har også lavet appelsiner med nelliker og flotte sløjfer og forgyldte grankogler.

Juletræspyntning Kan I huske det flotte juletræ sidste år? Det skal pyntes igen fra top til fod og være klar til julefesterne i november og december for den svenske, den norske og schweiziske klub, inden det bliver vores egen tur 8. december 2012. Julemanden kommer kun, hvis træet stråler!

Tilmelding og praktiske detaljer Alle juleaktiviteterne er gratis. Tilmelding til Lone Schmidt på 0437 612 913 eller ([email protected]

Baren sælger juice og sodavand, kaffe og te og mon ikke vi kan klare hot dogs eller en ostemad til sultne forældre.

Danes Abroad Business Group Online (DABGO) – Brisbane joining the world wide network

The DABGO network has for several years provided a regular monthly meeting place for Danes working abroad with their popular Stambord arrangement.

The monthly meeting is always the first Wednesday of the month and the venue usually at a bar/hotel and the format is informal – it is simply a meeting place for Danes working abroad to meet up with other Danes and have a chat over a beer or two.

Assuming that we are accepted into the network we will host our first DABGO meeting at The Danish Club on Wednesday 7 November at 6 PM.

Check the website for updates.

Scandinavian Festival 23 September 2012

We worked hard to spread the word about the festival to attract a good number of visitors in addition to all the Scandinavians – and it worked!

Based on a head count at set intervals, the estimate is that between 5,000 and 6,000 visitors attended the festival, which far exceeded our expectations. It was great to see many members of the clubs as well as a large number of people just interested in seeing and tasting all things Scandinavian.

We were very fortunate to have our new Danish Ambassador, Børge Petersen join us with his wife Jytte as well as our local Danish Consul Lars Kirk and his wife Dorte, and I would like to thank them for attending the event and helping to open the festival.

Our local MP – Robert Cavallucci – assistant minister for Multicultural Affairs Queensland attended on behalf of our 2 main sponsors, Brisbane City Council and Queensland Government and officially opened the festival.

This followed a spectacular kick-off by our Danish Folk Dancing Group showing off their great costumes and their dancing skills with Tom Larsen sharing his knowledge about folk dancing with the public – great stuff.

Kurt Christensen was our MC for the day and ran a very busy and varied program including traditional Scandinavian folk music and accordion, dancing Norwegian trolls, Swedish Maypole Dancing, The Scandinavian Choir and Big H belting out a number of contemporary Danish hits.

One of our themes was Hans Christian Andersen and I’m sure nobody recognised Kurt as he presented the sketch of ‘The Princess and the Pea’ with a real princess and prince and royal couple – and a heap of mattresses, of course – plus a pea.

The clubs had prepared food which was sold at the food stalls and we had a great selection of savoury and sweet with our Danish baker offering amongst other cinnamon snails, the Norwegian waffles, the Swedish smörgåstorta and meatballs, and the Danish club had prepared roast pork sandwiches (flæskestegssandwich) with red cabbage and crispy crackling, hot dogs – of course – and ice creams cones from Copenhagen Ice Cream.

In addition, the Heimdal smørrebrødsteam worked like mad to keep up with the demand for smørrebrød and lost count of number of smørrebrød, it was a huge effort – well done!

The bar was no less busy – at some stage we just carried in cartons of cold beer, placed on the bar and sold straight out of the box – all the Tuborg we had chilled went and although we didn’t sell out, we were down to the last cartons.

The market stalls were all interesting and good quality and we had everything from Danish vintage furniture, books, paintings, children’s clothing and accessories, jewellery, goodies, a LEGO playcentre and LEGO jewellery, photography, chiropractor – and more.

We also had representatives from Floorball Queensland and as floorball is about to become an Olympic sport, they kindly ran a number of display matches with public participation to show how much fun the game is.

Also a traditional Scandinavian sport, handball had activities and an information booth, and both clubs gained new members and generated quite a bit of interest. At 3 PM we started the draw of our monster raffle – we had over 60 prizes valued at $11,000 – and thanks to generous donations we were able to raise the additional funding required to host the Scandinavian Festival.

We would like to thank all our sponsors listed below for their kind contributions but also a big thank you to all members who supported the event by buying the raffle tickets and attending on the day.

The feedback we have received has been fantastic – everybody had a great day and enjoyed themselves, and I would like to send a huge thanks to all the volunteers for the day – without you, it would not have been possible – we need a lot of hands on such a day, and if you didn’t participate this year, be sure to join next year’s festival – yes, all Scandinavian clubs have agreed to repeat the festival – subject to funding, of course – Sunday 8 September 2013.

The biggest thank you of all goes to your hard working festival committee, who attended weekly meetings to prepare the event in the months leading up to the festival plus worked like mad on the day to keep up.
