We've changed our name!

We are now called Brent's Bunch and we have set up a new blog.  Here is the link.

Mystery Dance April 7

Brent called a great Michael Buble theme dance last Thursday.  Can you tell which one is Brent?

Thanks to the Swinging Singles and other visitors for joining us. 

Here is a link to photos.  I apologize I did not get a photo of everyone - I got sidetracked when the coffee break was early.

Thanks to all those who helped out!

The Chuckouts have been invited!

Please be sure to RSVP by the May 20 deadline.

Easter and Mystery Dances

This Thursday, March 24 is our Easter dance.  Wear your Easter bonnet for a chance to win a prize.

Thursday, April 7 is the Mystery Dance.  Here is Bob's great flyer with all the details.  The Swinging Singles will visit that night.

Chuckouts March 7 update

Our last DARK night is this coming Thursday, March 10. We will resume with our St. Patrick's Dance on Thursday, March 17.

We are visiting the Royal Swingers on Friday the 11th. It will be their St. Patrick's Day dance, so wear a bit o' green rather than club colours. Although Chuck and I had intended to go, we have had a change of plans and won't be there.

March 24 will be our Easter dance, Wear your Easter bonnet.

The Swinging Singles will visit April 7 and we will use the occasion to hold a Mystery Theme dance. Prizes will be given to those whose costumes most closely match the theme that Brent will reveal on that night.

See you soon!

Rainbow Squares Disney Dance

A square of us had a lot of fun tonight visiting the Rainbow Squares for their Disney Dance. Brent called a stellar dance, which tied in with his Mickey Mouse wizard hat with colour changing stars. Tom and Bea, former Chuckwagon 8s, joined us for dinner first, as did Ken and Sheila from the Happy Hoppers. Dave and Jenny's multiple hats were a delight. A wonderful time!

Upcoming

Remember we are dark on Feb 18.

Come visit the Royal Swingers with us on Friday Feb 19th.

The Gala is on Sat. Feb 20th. It is sold out. Dave Hammer has a waiting list if you want to try for a last minute ticket.

The Stardowners visited us last night. We had a great time and did Valentines and Lunar new year in one go. Give the monkey a kiss!

Another visit to consider: in two weeks some of us are going to Rainbow Squares in Lynden Wash. for the Disney dance with Brent.

See you on the dance floor

Visit to Royal Swingers

We were warmly welcomed last night at the Royal Swingers and had a great time.  We had the fun surprise of replacement caller Brent Mawdsley and cuer Cheryl Plume.  Thanks to the Royal Swingers for their hospitality, and this photo.

Reminder to Chuckouts and visitors - DARK on Thursday, visit to Royal Swingers on Friday

Brent is at a conference all week so there is no dancing Thursday, January 28.

We are visiting the Royal Swingers on Friday the 29th. If you'd like, please wear denim blue and black, with optional red accents like a bandana or a belt.

See you soon!

Daphne

Burns Night reminder

We will be celebrating Burns Night on Thursday, January 21st.

Daphne

We had a fine time. Address to the burger, lots of nice treats, tasteful decorations, and Brent in fine form.

Remember we are dark next week. See you in February.

Chuck

Proposed Visits

I looked into what dances are available the weeks we are dark.

How about visiting the Royal Swingers on Friday, January 29.  Our temporary club colours are black tops and denim blue bottoms with (optional) red accents like a bandana or belt.  Darlene suggested burgundy and white as the long term colour scheme.

Maple Ridge is having a Sweeheart Ball for Plus dancers on Monday, February 15.  I think we'd wear red if we went to that.

We could visit the Swinging Singles or Surrey Square Wheelers on Tuesday, March 8.

We can talk about it Thursday.

Daphne

Great first dance

We had four squares and even visitors!

Nights of Dancing Schedule

Sad to say goodbye to Chuckwagon 8’s but excited to say hello to Chuckout’s!   I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to Square Dancing and all my SD friends so I’m excited the New Year will be full of both!     

 

Thought I would test out an email with an embedded spreadsheet to see how it formats....

Oops and oops

I have made several mistakes here. I sent you the wrong email address.
The first part was correct, but the end is @blogger.com.

Also, I found out why you did not get the emails. They were stuck
outgoing. So now some of you have two and some have three.

Not looking like much of a techie am I.

I have noticed that when a posting is done by email it always says "by
Chuck". So it would be good to sign off your email postings normally so
we know who sent it in.

See you on the dance floor.

Chuck

Black and blue

If we go with black and blue, is that baby blue, turquoise, Royal blue, denim or electric blue? Could wear black shirts and denim bottoms, I expect we all have that.

Art wanted

We are in need of some art.

The boot above was just a first grab. Consider it a placeholder. Someone suggested a kicking boot.

We should have a .pdf poster to send off to the Fraser Valley web site sometime.

The consensus was $15 for visitors I think. The dates are below, more or less.
