“Charter members Ross Warrick, Denise Hobson-Warrick, Jenny Lawes, Margaret Finn and Dianne Bolwell were all present and cut the anniversary cake.”
Mr Lang said the group’s inaugural meeting was on April 16, 1996, in Horsham Masonic Hall.
“The first president was Chris Hamerston and the first secretary was Carolyn Smith,” he said.
“Charter members were Dianne Bolwell, Paul Holmes, B. King, S. King, Jenny Lawes, Barry Lawes, Margaret Finn, John Finn, Ken Wooltorton, Denise Hobson-Warrick, Ross Warrick, Robyn Watts, Brian Watts, Margaret Wild and M. Vanner.”
Mr Lang said the club would look into hosting a mid-year dance in June or July, provided it could fit in with events organised by other clubs.
“We will also be looking forward to our main dance of the year, which is always the last weekend of October, before the Melbourne Cup,” he said.
“We call it Rockin’ at the Races, it’s at Horsham Town Hall and is well supported by people from places such as South Australia, Ballarat and Colac.”
