PAGE 6 www.danishclubbrisbane.org www.danishclubbrisbane.org PAGE 7 PRESIDENTS LETTER

Five of the Committee members elected at the last Annual General Meeting resigned at our committee meeting on 26 February 2003. I regret very much that they have seen resignation as their only option. I would like to thank Arild and Ann Nielsen, Jorgen and Ann De Voss, and Erik Andersen for their many contributions to the running of the Association over their respective term of office.

The letter of resignation does contain some very general allegations which prompt more questions and innuendo than the real situation deserves, and I feel I should make a few comments at this time.

It is true that as President I have had to make decisions relating to various functions in the time between the monthly Committee meetings but every account paid by the Association has been ratified by the Committee, and every decision relating to the Associations’ dealings with the Swiss Club, the Aussie Music Club, and all dealings with outsiders have been discussed and considered by the Committee before any agreements binding on the Association have been finalised.

I also think most members will accept that some authority has to be given to a President of an association which only meets monthly, to make some changes to arrangements for functions and other minor things, without the need to call another Committee meeting. I try as far as I can to telephone other Committee members to get their input. But at the end of the day, the function has to go ahead and I believe that its up to me to solve any problem affecting the function without having to bother all other Committee members.

Enough of that. Its time to move on.

I am very pleased to say that the Committee has been able to find some excellent candidates to fill the vacant positions. Some have had previous experience on the Committee, and all have enormous goodwill for the Danish Club, so I am confident that the future of the Club is in good hands.

Under Rule 13, the following members have been appointed to fill, until the next annual general meeting, the casual vacancies resulting from these resignations:

Alan Przybylak……………………… Vice President Riborg Andersen Henrik Holm Committee Members Alf Berg Jan Andersen Mivi Ottesen Committee Members

The duties of Membership Officer, previously handled by Ann De Voss, will be taken over by the Treasurer, Elna Jensen.

I welcome these members to the Committee and look forward to us all working together in the best interests of the Association.

Hilsen fra deres President,

Ulla Turner

Hej Ulla Turner

Jeg har dd læst klubbens medlemsblad for marts måned på hjemmesiden (danishclubbrisbane.org)/red., og det var med stor interesse, jeg læste indlægget om nye medlemmer og klubbens fremtid.

Min familie, som er min mand Peter, vores 2 børn Emma og Sebastian, og jeg , flyttede her til Australien i november måned 2002, dvs. min mand rejste herned et par måneder i forvejen af praktiske grunde. Han havde kommunikeret (med dig tror jeg nok) om medlemsskab, og klublivet i Heimdal lød virkelig godt og positivt. Vi var blevet opfordret til at komme og se klubben, og det glædede vi os til, for kunne vi være til nytte der, ville det jo bare være skønt. Også at lære nogle nye mennesker at kende og vi var "full of beans". Vi tog op og besøgte klubben den dag, der var julemarked, i november vist ?? Men må indrømme vi blev slemt skuffede. Vi kom ind, og som nye er det altså svært at henvende sig til folk, der sidder i grupper og drikker kaffe mv. Vi følte os absolut alene og ikke særligt velkomne derinde, og derfor besluttede vi, at vi ikke ville være medlemmer. Hvorfor melde sig ind, hvis der alligevel ikke er nogle, der gider/har lyst til at snakke med een?? Jeg synes, jeg fornemmer, fra hvad jeg har læst i martsudgaven, og hvad jeg har læst i decemberudgaven af klubbladet, at bestyrelsen godt er klar over "problemet" med at få nye medlemmer, og man er opsat på, at der bliver gjort noget. Jeg synes det er dejligt, for for vores vedkommende her i familien, så er vi kede af , at det var sådan en negativ oplevelse. Man vil gerne have medlemmerne til at bakke op om de forskellige ting, der foregår. Måske man kunne lave lidt mere ?? Hvad med eventyrlæsning for børnene, som man gør i nogle bogbutikker, håndarbejdsaftner, jeg vil vædde med, der sidder mange (også unge) der kan noget med en symaskine, (selv syr jeg tasker og puder mv.) eller bagedage, der er sikkert nogle, der er troldmænd i køkkener, og jeg selv kunne godt lide at få et par tips. Man kunne måske så sælge noget af det, man laver og sige, at en procentdel går til klubben, og på den måde generere lidt penge i kassen..... Man kunne lave udflugter med børnene til forskellige steder og f.eks. arrangere rundbold, fodbold osv. Sådan noget er da fantastisk sjovt og giver sammenhold på tværs. Jeg ved, at der i forvejen er mange ting på programmet, men hvis man prøvede at få nogle flere (unge) til at komme med initiativer, så er jeg sikker på, klubben ville blive mere attraktiv at komme i også for udenforstående, og at de så ville melde sig ind. Hvis vi var sikre på ikke at blive set på som nogle fjolser, der vil lave alt om, så ville vi selv være aktive, vi har altid været aktive i Danmark og faktisk med et godt resultat....

Det var ikke meningen, den her mail skulle være et surt opstød, men en kommentar til indlægget og håber ikke, du tager det som sådan, og hvis du har lyst til at respondere, er du velkommen.

De bedste hilsner

Samlet tilberedningstid 1 time. For 4 portioner bruges: 12 skiver fersk eller letsaltet, magert flæsk 2 store løg 3/4-1 kg æbler 1 kvist timian sukker efter smag, ca. 1 spsk.

TILBEHØR: Groft rugbrød, sennep. Steg flæsket ved ikke for stærk varme på en tykbundet pande. Hæld det afsmeltede fedt af flere gange, så flæsket kan blive rigtig sprødt. Stegetid afhængig af tykkelse, fra 15-30 minutter. Tag flæsket af panden og læg det på fedt- sugende papir. Hold flæsket varmt. Skær løgene i meget tynde skiver, og rist dem klare og let gyldne i lidt af det af- smeltede fedt. Drys løgene med salt og hold dem varme. Skræl kun æblerne, hvis det er nødvendigt. Skær dem i både og fjern kernehuset. Steg æblerne i lidt af det afsmeltede fedt, ved ikke for stærk varme. De må helst ikke gå i stykker under steg ningen. Rib timiankvisten for blade og drys dem over under stegning. Drys også lidt sukker over efter smag og æblernes surhedsgrad.

SERVERING: Anret flæsket på et varmt fad eller en pande. Læg æblerne og løgene ved siden af. Giv groft rugbrød og en god sennep til æbleflæsket

VARIATIONER AF ÆBLEFLÆSK 1. Anvend pigeonæbler ved juletid. De giver en meget pikant smag. 2. Timian kan udelades ved æbleflæsk 3. Steg håndskårne skiver bacon i stedet for fersk eller saltet flæsk. 4. Drys æblerne med puddersukker i stedet for almindelig sukker.

OVNSTEGT FLÆSK: Flæsket lægges i bradepanden. Bradepanden sættes i ovnen ved 225°C. og steges indtil flæsket er gennemstegt og gyldent, 20-30 minutter, hæld fedtet fra bradepanden et par gange under stegningen. Lad flæsket ligge på fedtsugende papir, inden det anrettes.

Maren og jens havde sølvbryllup, og der var telt i gården med spisning og taler i lange baner. Den sidste taler var Jens, og hans tale var kort: - Dæe æ ingen dæe ved, hwa løkk æ, faer han æ bløwwn gywt! Ud på aftenen, da de var kommet til at spille kort, var der en af naboerne, der tog talen op til diskussion. Han vidste nemlig udmærket godt, at Jens var hårdt gift, så derfor spurgte han ham, om han virkelig ville stå ved det, han havde sagt ved middagen. - jow, sagde Jens, de stoer a ve - dæe æ ingen dæe ved, hwa løkk æ, faer en æ gywt - men så æ et for selle!

PAGE 28 www.danishclubbrisbane.org New Music Club to Open

The Aussie Music club is about to open its doors, providing what they believe is the only non profit club in Brisbane presenting 100% Live Music. President Warren Trout says “The majority of clubs these days are more interested in providing gambling facilities rather than good entertainment. Sequenced music, drum machines and canned music have replaced talented musicians who strive to make a living in an age where technology has taken over. We wish to provide a club that will give the public of Brisbane and the musicians a venue to see or perform various styles of music. We also wish to create a friendly club with a great atmosphere and promote as much local talent as possible as well as featuring touring artistes.”

This non for profit club, will run a Saturday program for 12 to 17 year olds The program will give the opportunity for all young people interested in music to meet with others, form groups or bands, attend different workshops, and socialise in a supervised environment. The program runs every Sat morning from 10am to 4pm and costs only $10.00 per person or $15.00 per family.

Our first meeting will be at 36 Austin St Newstead 15th March at 10am. (All are welcome)

The club deeply appreciates the assistance it has received from The Danish Assc. The Danish Club premises have given the Aussie Music Club the venue it needs to provide its members with a host of Activities and performances.

We are keeping a open mind as to styles and types of music we will be featuring Friday & Sat nights, however initially we have dedicated Sundays from 4pm to 10pm to Brisbane’s Best Bands. This will also be a mixed bag i.e. Bigbands Jazz/Funk, Traditional, Soul, etc. In conjunction with the Danish club we also offer light meals, licensed bar and the venue is fully air- conditioned Please see our website www.Aussie.cd for upcoming events and programs

Suggestion: A group of people could work together via the internet allowing different people to use their skills for eg. advertising, writing, photographing etc. and one person could put it all together for printing. Just a thought!
