June 7 City Cowboys May 3 Heartland July 5 Midnight Special CLUB NEWS from our President Hi Everyone Happy New Year to all. Have you made a New Year’s resolution for 2009? Or are you like me and just deal with whatever comes each day? Wow what a show we had for Christmas. Lorraine was elsewhere at a Christmas party with her two beautiful granddaughters and arrived back halfway through the show to take over hosting from yours truly. Our band for the day was Midnight Special, who are always guaranteed to give a great show. We also had our special guest artist Mahalia Fox, who is the SCCM Junior Champion of Champions. We also had various committee members strutting their stuff. They were Rob Smith who sang a beautiful Christmas carol, Lorraine Wakefield who sang and yodelled, Tarlee Schultz was our Christmas angel, Evonne Rayson read a poem with a message (see page 11), Josie Evans and Raelz sang together and yours truly as Tanme Whynot sang. (Good fun!) We also had a young new comer in Georgia Hicks. She wooed the audience and showed a lot of potential. Ian (Flasher) Fisk’s Christmas hat was a great talking point for the day. (I wonder how many toilet rolls he can fit under it?) Our dear Joy Champion made our Christmas cake and Elaine Marks (who had just turned 90 years young) cut the cake for us. Now for our January show. We had a great band Phoenix. What a nice bunch of people to work with. Everyone loved their music and had a great time. I hosted the show for the day as Lorraine was on a much deserved holiday at Port Hughes. During the day we had a sample of 6 songs from the band called Top Dead Centre. They were very good and the crowd enjoyed them. cont’d next page

Di Smith (President) Talent is something God gives you, Experience is something you give yourself. Daniel Louis Rottinhans LORRAINE’S ROUND-UP December At our December meeting we had Warren Johncock and his Midnight Special band. As always they put on a great Christmas show. The microphones and stands were draped in tinsel, and Warren appeared in a number of different variations of head gear! Our special guest artist was Mahalia Fox, the 2008 SACCM Junior Champion of Champions, she clearly showed why she won. She had a busy December, at the SA Stampede, the Kilburn RSL the night before and with our Club! In case you can’t read the words on Some committee members made surprise Lorraine’s hat it appearances on the stage! They included our says singing Secretary, Rob Smith, Lorraine Wakefield sang and yodelled beautifully, Tarlee Schultz, as “I Believe in Santa an angel showing a big heart (remember she is a Mahalia complete with tinsel decorated Clause” heart lung transplant recipient), Tanme Whynot, in microphone stand a country music singer outfit, Evonne Rayson read a poem on ‘Hugs’ (see page 11), Josie Evans was accompanied in song by Raelz. Raelz also sang a few songs on her own. We also had a young lady, Georgia very ably sang a few Christmas songs, including one with Lorraine. Many of the committee and other members dressed ‘Christmassy’. To the relief of many, the flasher did not make an appearance this year. Some people unkindly suggested that his special Christmas hat either looked like a tea pot cosy or a toilet roll cover! Everyone attending was given a little present. It was a Happy Holiday plastic bag containing a special 2009 ACMC calendar, a circular Club badge, a ACMC sticker and a chocolate. Santa must have made two visits, one before most arrived putting lollies on each table and later in person. He was caught on camera kissing Evonne! Evonne Rayson gave each of her catering helpers a little present before they posed for a picture. All were also given a small Xmas pudding plus a tasty piece of Christmas cake made by Joy Champion (thanks Joy). Elaine Marks who recently celebrated her 90th birthday, cut the cake. Our Country Call Newsletter was given to all members at the meeting. Those not picked up on the day were posted the next day. Considerable postage expense was saved and much effort in folding, taping! We even had an overseas visitor, Merilyn Henderson from Kangaroo Island. Merilyn has a regular country music program on KIX FM 90.7 Monday & Thursday from 7.30 am -9.am. Another visitor was Whitey (Brian White) an infamous drover. See Rob Smith’s words elsewhere in this issue. Ian Fisk (Lorraine liked most of the above that appeared in SACCM January Prelude and said to use it!)

They showed they were very good indeed. I arrived late and was only able to stay a short time. I arrived late from my holiday at Port Hughes. Thanks to Di Smith for compering the show for the day. I stayed long enough to hear a new band Top Dead Centre (actually Lorraine wrote down Drop Dead Centre!!!). One of the band members, David Gebert used to play in the Country Bumpkin band with Helen Downer. I hope Helen is feeling better after her stay in hospital just before Xmas. We will have Top Dead Centre in October. I hope everyone enjoys these new bands. One of the first ideas that Club had (twenty years ago when we started) was to give everyone a go. Every band has something different to offer, so please don’t get too critical. I know we all have favourite bands, but variety is the key to keeping country music going!

To show the love we are feeling, It welcomes us back home, But can’t find words to say. And makes it easier to part. It’s funny how a simple hug A hug’s the way to share the joy Makes everyone feel good and sorrow we go through. In every place and language Or just the way for friends to say, It’s always understood. “I like you cause you’re you.” Hugs are meant for everyone And hugs don’t need equipment, For whom we really care. Special batteries or parts. From Grandma to your neighbour Just open up your arms Or a cuddly teddy bear. And open up your heart.
