After an amazing turn out and effort at the Charleston Challenge Downunder world record attempt at Leura Mall in the beautiful Blue Mountains, for which we are just awaiting confirmation that could take up to 6 weeks. We celebrated that evening at Hazelbrook Bowling Club with a wonderful dinner/dance.

Many thanks to all who attended including a contingent from Coffs Harbour, Central Coast, Sydney, North, South and Western Sydney, Penrith and the Blue Mountains. A wonderful 2 course buffet by Paul and Vicki at Gourmet Catering and a very professional team that serviced us that evening.

DINNER/DANCE at Hazelbrook Bowling Club

Following the Charleston Challenge Downunder World Record Attempt at Leura Mall on Saturday, 2nd February 2013 book in to enjoy an evening at Hazelbrook Bowling Club which is located in the Glorious Gloria Park on Bonnie View Avenue. The club itself was built in 1950 so remember to dress to impress on the night.

LMNG's Halloween Rock 'n' Lawn Bowls event was celebrated on Saturday, 27th October 2012 with a touch of terrifying colour and a pinch of scary characters. The event was held at Rydalmere Bowling Club on Victoria Road. The day began with the following students attaining their Bronze Level Medal in Rock 'n' Roll dancing: Michael; Megan, Rebecca, Emma-Lee, Darcy, John, Sharen, Madinah and Phillip. Congratulations to each of them and we look forward to continued development and achievement of higher levels.

Saturday, 15th December 2012 saw the Castle Hill Bowling Club filled to capacity with LMNG Dance members and their friends and family. The night was filled with tropical colour and many eccentric and out of the box themes. Special mentions to Giligan's Island what a very memorable group, you surely deserved to win Best Dressed because it was so creative and thank you to Wayne for singing their theme song!

Time to show us your bowling skills or at least come and learn how to play bowls, so that you can discover a love for something else! I think one of the best things about lawn bowls is that you get back in touch with nature and are able to be in an outdoor environment soaking up some good ol' sunshine and Vitamin D! 

Here is something to help you increase your knowledge of Lawn Bowls before you attend! Lawn Bowls is a sport in which the objective is to roll biased balls so that they stop close to a smaller ball called a "jack" or "kitty". It is played on a pitch which may be flat (for "flat-green bowls") or convex or uneven (for "crown-green bowls"). It is normally played outdoors although there are some indoor venues and the surface is either natural grass, artificial turf, or cotula.

Oh what a night! The only disappointment was that the night had to come to an end.

On Saturday, 28th July 2012 the Hornesywood Hall at Penrith RSL (where we hold our Rock n Roll dance classes on Monday night) was filled to capacity with many Moovers N Groovers. The night began with guests being ushered to their tables, followed up by a three course meal served by Maze Catering at Penrith RSL. During the first course a team of Moove N Groove Dancers entertained the crowd with a Lindy Hop performance with an intermission of the leaders dancing whilst the followers were secretly changing and then the big finale with the whole team dancing up a storm to Shake Rattle n Roll.

From our pick up points at Penrith and Castle Hill we officially hit the road to discover the brilliant wine range and experience what the hunter region had to offer. The Road Trip kicked off with another theme being 'Burlesque and Masquarade'. What an awesome sight and what fabulous ideas for things to bring and wear for the theme! Yes yes yes we carried the theme through at our after pyjama party - but that part of the trip will remain a mystery! Once again it was an exciting trip with lots of trivia, games, prizes, give-aways, dancing, awards and making friends with such a wonderful group.
