Calendar Of Events

The Square Dance Society of NSW Inc. has produced an Introductory Brochure primarily for use in promoting square dancing in the wider community - see the Brochure by clicking the link at the bottom of this page. Supplies are freely available by contacting the Publicity Officer, Rosalind Todd, on jarodd@bigpond.net.au. Why not make use of them in your efforts to gain new members.

The Society is currently conducting a Survey of dancers, callers, cuers and anyone with an interest in State Conventions. Its purpose is to obtain feedback on a range of issues from those who have attended recent State Conventions and from those who have not been attending, ascertaining possible reasons. You can view the Survey by clicking the link below and print off a copy ~ but do read the preliminary information at the start and the paragraphs at the end first. Please forward the completed Survey as noted at the end of the Survey as soon as possible.
