We (our club) donated $1,000.00 to the bush fire appeal and I urge all other country music associations and clubs to do likewise. Remember we’re all one big family in country music. Next we (committee) decided we’d get in early and remind everyone that we will need a new secretary next A.G.M. (August) as our Dear Rob Smith will be retiring from club duties. Rob has worn many hats as a committee member and we will be very sad to lose him from the committee. Please also keep in mind that we will need other positions filled on the committee. Your new ideas and input as a committee member are very valuable in keeping our club running. Being on the committee is not as hard as you might think (especially as we all work together to make the load lighter). We meet once a month at Lorraine’s home. It’s great to hear of another couple of new bands starting up in country. Even our own Raelz from our committee has joined a new band called ‘Kindred Spirit’. Keep a lookout for them. Well bye for now. Thank God for Country. Di Smith (President) Remember ‘Be generous and you will be prosperous. Help others and you will be helped.’ The Adelaide Country Music Club Inc., operates from ‘COUNTRY CALL’ IS THE NEWSLETTER OF the SLOVENIAN CLUB ADELAIDE THE ADELAIDE COUNTRY MUSIC CLUB INC. at 11 LaSalle St, Dudley Park (off Pym St.) A MONTHLY PUBLICATION EDITED BY THE PUBLICITY OFFICER For information about The Adelaide Country Music Advertising in this newsletter is available at the Club write to: following rates: PO Box 307 MODBURY NORTH SA 5092 Full page (approx 175mm x 260mm) $40.00 or contact any of the committee personnel listed Half Page (approx 130mm x 175 mm) $20.00 below Quarter Page (approx 85 mm x 130mm) $10.00 Actual size may vary slightly, depending on orientation Committee Members and layout of adjacent articles.

Thank goodness the weather has become cooler. I couldn’t take it much longer! Well our band of the month was Bill Bedford and Country Roundup. It was a great pleasure to have Bill back at our club. He was one of the bands to support us when we first started at the Canine Club in Kilburn. He hasn’t lost any of the sound we want to hear as a Bush Balladeer. Thanks Bill and band. I think the dancers enjoyed the old style numbers. The line dancers also enjoyed the band. Bill’s little granddaughter, Ashlee sang a song with him. Merrilyn Jaensch also joined Bill and the band for a number of songs. Bill has a CD coming out soon. It is a tribute to his daughter Kylie who was a member of his band. Sadly she passed away seven years ago. Several of her songs are on the CD. There will be 18 songs in all. For information about the CD please see me at the Club or catch Bill at a gig. A great day was had by all. Bye for now Lorraine Page 3 Bill Bedford and band (Barry Vallen, Bobby Craig and Kevin Bergin) Interesting shadow!
