Apr 4 Country Mile including Sonni Francis Brian Letton and Cactus June 6 May 2 Tracey Rains & Claypan Martens President’s Report Hi Everyone,

Well the silly season has arrived. Christmas is upon us and out goes all your money. We are looking forward to our Christmas show featuring the top band Peter Coad and the Coad Sisters plus Jim Hermel and Margaret Coad.

Don’t forget to wear your Christmas gear and even bring along decorations for your table if you wish. It always makes the day even brighter and more fun if you get into the spirit of the season.

Also don’t forget that Evonne is making up Christmas baskets to raffle for funds for the Len Wakefield Memorial which enables us to give encouragement to a well deserving young recipient by way of a trophy and a sum of money towards their music, be it via music lessons or musical instruments or to enter a big festival section through our sponsorship. For more information about the Len Wakefield Memorial, just ask Lorraine or myself. Remember if we don’t encourage our young to keep up the country music here in then we could lose it.

I wish you all a safe and peaceful Christmas and the same for your New Year and God Bless you all.

Di Smith (pres)

Don’t forget the real reason for Christmas.

We will go back to our first Sunday next year even if it is on the long weekend. Those that didn’t come missed out on a new band on the scene, Top Dead Centre. They were terrific, a little more than Country, but with there being three vocals and great harmonies, sounded good. They come from the Barossa Valley area. David Gebert was in the ever popular Country Bumpkin Band. We oldies of the club had fond memories of the days with Helen Downer who lately isn’t very well. Who wouldn’t mention Greg ‘Short Wheelbase’ Smallwood, he is Lorraine with yet another a real dynamo on drums, great guitar work and vocals by cow! Steve Gregory, nice Johnny Cash songs and the beauty in the band, Victoria Van Bertouch, vocals and keyboard. David Gebert There may be a few who say that Top Dead Centre was not strictly Country, but with all the young ones on the scene we have to get used to it. On the day there were more dancers on the floor when it got . The band also played lots of songs not usually heard at our club. I say, I and a lot of others enjoyed them, as I’ve said before let’s be a club of happiness and enjoyment of music. (see ‘What Defines Country?’ by Raelz on page 8) Lorraine Wakefield

Greg ‘Short Wheelbase’ Smallwood, Steve Gregory and Victoria Van Bertouch LORRAINE’S ROUND-UP - November Here we are nearly another year has passed. The hot hot weather has arrived so on with the fans and coolers. Band of the month, The Creole cowboyZ as usual gave us some great unusual Country Music. They enjoy what they do and it comes out in their presentation, there are guitars, washboards, Didgeridoo, drums and violin just to name a few. They all have a go at vocals. They also put on a Cajun dance for everyone to have a try at doing. The line dancers seem to pick the style up easily. Well done to all who tried it. Well that is all about November, on to Xmas show day with Peter Coad and Sisters. It should be a happy day, we might even have Father Xmas along to get into the spirit all please wear a Xmas T-Shirt or hat. I wish everyone a happy Xmas and a bright New Year. Next year in February we will be celebrating our 21st year. Thanks to everyone for their support over the years for just coming along and for helping out, to the Artists and Bands, thank you for making my job easy. Country Music is one big family.

The Maverick Tie

Several years ago there was a real gentleman in country music by the name of Merv Rayson (husband of Evonne Rayson from the ACMC ). Merv always dressed immaculately when performing, often wearing a Maverick Tie. He had a lot of time for people and struck up a friendship with Dennis Verran. After Merv sadly passed away, Evonne gave Dennis, Marv’s black Maverick Tie which he treasures very much and has worn on very special occasions. Ian had always wanted one, so with Bev’s help I managed to ‘borrow’ it and have made him several in different colours using the original as a pattern.
