VOLUNTEERS NEEDED BRISBANE AREA
Hi,
ROCK UNDER THE CLOCK is now in its 6th year with no plans to 'pull the plug'. Featuring two dance nights each year at the historic Sandgate Town Hall - May & November - the event is going from strength to strength.
The Sandgate Branch of the Police Citizens Youth Club (PCYC) is the sole beneficiary of the event and use the proceeds raised to fund their Crime Prevention and Youth Diversionary Programs. To date, over $50,000 has been donated to support this cause.
As with any venture that relies on the input of volunteers, there will be attrition over time in the numbers who so unselfishly volunteer their services as members of the Planning & Organisation Team.
WE NOW NEED TO RECRUIT NEW MEMBERS TO OUR TEAM.
This is the purpose in writing to you, would you be interested in joining the Team?
What is involved in becoming a Team Member?
- Ideally, you will be proficient in one of the 'to be filled' functional areas (see below).
- Some personal time will be spent in your chosen functional area preparing for the event, typically a 60 day time span.
- Attendance at three planning sessions held over a 60 day time span pre-event. Each session held at Sandgate PCYC at 1:00pm and of approx. two hours duration.
- Participation on the occasion of each event in the chosen functional capacity.
- Attendance at a post-event analysis meeting to report on any issues arising from the event that affected functional performance.
Functional areas needing to be filled.
Graphic Design
Creating the graphic artwork used to support event themes. These illustrations form the core of all visual promotional executions. Interested volunteers will have skills in the use of graphic design software, preparing print-ready art and experience liaising with production. A design brief is prepared well in advance of each event.
Booking Site
Liaising with the ticketing company (www.trybooking.com) to populate the booking website. Persons interested in this function will have basic computer skills and experience manipulating text and graphics.
Bar Service
This involves choosing the drinks menu in collaboration with the licensed provider and the Team, setting sell prices, collecting drinks & ice on the afternoon of the event, setting up/closing down the bar and managing the service on the evening. Preparing a sales/cash reconciliation for tabling at the post event meeting. Interested persons should have, or prepared to obtain, a Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) certification.
We would love to hear from volunteers wishing to fill one of the above functional roles. Interested persons should, in the first instance, indicate their readiness to volunteer by replying to this email, outlining their experience in a preferred role. We welcome any enquiries regarding additional information on each role.
Our next event is planned for Saturday 23rd November. We are very keen to fill the available positions and commence the planning process to continue this significant and worthy fundraiser.
Please email replies to: rockundertheclock@gmail.com

WHAT’S COMING UP:
VENUES:
BEAUDESERT RSL
On 15th August the current lease of the building and grounds currently held by the Beaudesert Services Club on William St Beaudesert will be terminated.
ALGESTER SPORTS CLUB
I had some feedback from a dancer who went to this venue last week, and he reported there is no dance floor there now. They have done renovations, and he said the club was nice, clean, open, polite staff, plenty of off street parking. The music was quite good, a solo entertainer, nice range of dance music. They tested dancing on the carpet, but it was not fun. So unfortunately they left, as did another couple of dancers.
I have sent the club an email and will ask about the possibility of them putting down a small dance floor, as they have some great entertainment listed this month. It's such a pity that there is nowhere for people to dance.
MURWILLUMBAH RSL
I had some feedback from Brisbane dancers who went down there to see one of their favourite bands, to find there was no dance floor in the room with the band, very disappointing for them. They have a good dance floor in the room next door, but they mustn't be using that for the weekly bands.
GOODNA RSL
Has a very tiny dance floor, fitting no more than 2-3 couples.
BROTHERS LEAGUES
Has a dance floor, but it's non-slip tiles, so isn't practical for dancing.
BRIGHTON BOWLS CLUB
Don't have a dance floor.
CABOOLTURE SPORTS CLUB
Their website is very time-consuming to use. To find out the time of one event I have to do about 4 clicks before I get to the next event. Please double-check the times if you want to go to this venue.

What is blues dancing?
Blues dancing is a family of partner dances which originated in African American communities across the USA. These dances evolved alongside Blues music across the country, resulting in different regional styles matching the regional sounds. Blues dances include many different styles with two main stylistic categories; Ballroomin' and Jukin'. All styles share aesthetics and techniques rooted in African American traditions and history.

With Vix and the Slick Chicks in the house, this is going to be a fantastic evening of grooving and bluesing!
No prior dance experience or partner required!

Pam and Roy Blowers have been creating a portfolio of online utube dance lessons and will be continuing to add to the collection.
The concept behind our online utube dance lessons is - mixing styles and steps according to one's level of fitness and physical ability.
We have created a facebook page, which lists all our utube videos, (see link under Classes page) - we are up to Utube 21 and will be continuing to add to our collection.
Here is the link to our facebook page.

DANCE FLOOR COURTESY
Here is the Gold Coast Rockers Etiquette on the Dance Floor:
1. Wear clothing and dance shoes that make it easy and enjoyable to dance in.
2. Personal Grooming - Shower and use a deodorant. Always take a hand towel, deodorant and a clean shirt to freshen up.
Brush teeth and use mouthwash or breath freshener. Abstain from foods that produce strong odours eg. garlic. The odour
of cigarettes on one's breath or clothing is unattractive.
3. Please ask ladies: Would you like to dance?
4. Please ask men: Would you like to dance?
5. Declining to dance: No thank you, I'm taking a break.
6. Sharing the floor: If there is a mixture of dance styles on the floor, ballroom or circle partner dancers have the outside
circle heading in an anti-clockwise direction. Rock n Roll dancing is in the middle, Swing on the side.
7. Dips and Lifts: The only thing to be said about aerials on the social dance floor is: Don't do them. While they may look 'cool'
the execution of aerials requires training by a qualified instructor. Don't do them by yourself unless you are trained, and
certainly don't do them on the social dance floor.
8. Today's beginners will be the good dancers of tomorrow, so be nice to them and dance with them.
9. Smile, be warm, be personable, be nice.
10. Be considerate of other couples on the floor. Exercise good floor craft. No large steps to be taken, dancing should be
done in a 3 ft circumference.
11. No stilettos to be worn on the dance floor.
12. Be happy, be social and have FUN

The RollerCoasters promise a night the audience rarely get to experience in today's day and age providing authentic renditions of some of your favourite songs from the 60's and 70's.
Bios for band:
Col Wilson - (lead singer and Rhythm Guitar)
I began playing guitar at 16, and I had a great teacher in Ray Smith at Tony Andrios School of Music, Footscray, Victoria. He was always fantastic to learn with, and showed enormous patience with a pupil who just wanted to do his own thing.
I spent the next 14 years just playing when I could, and dreaming of playing and singing on stage in front of an audience.
When I met my wife, she had friends that played in bands. I just tagged along to watch them. They did, however, invite people to get up and play with them. I decided one night that I was going to get up and do it too. That first night that I got up changed me forever. I'd only started playing the intro to my first song when almost everyone in the crowd got up and started dancing, I was hooked from then on. It's an amazing feeling having so many people enjoy what you do. It went so well I was asked to become a permanent member of the band from that night on.
After getting together with others that played on that first night, I started joining other bands to fulfil my ambitions. I started gigging at clubs and pubs in Melbourne with numerous bands and had a great time doing what I love.
n 1993 my wife and I moved back to her home city of the Gold Coast, I immediately started looking for like minded muso's to jam and gig with. After playing with the bands Steel Rain and Smokehouse. I joined together with a long time friend from Melbourne, and we formed the duo Undercover.
We played at loads of Gold Coast clubs, and even had a regular 6 weekly gig at the Point Lookout Bowls Club on Stradbroke Island that lasted for 2 years.
When that ended I decided to go solo. After 4 years playing corporate and private gigs, I'm back on the club scene and hope to see all of you real soon to enjoy my music. Come along and sing and dance to great music that you'll know and love.
Dave Brooke - (Lead Guitarist / Vocalist).
Dave has been a lead guitarist and vocalist for over 30 years in Australia.
Dave's music career began in Sydney in the late 80's performing as a soloist as well as in Bands and Duos over the east coast of Australia. Dave has a unique ability to authenitically recreate the sounds and styles of the most famous Guitarists in the World.
There are few guitarists that can authenitcally replicate the sounds of:
Hank Marvin (The Shadows), Buddy Holly, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), Scotty Moore (Elvis Presley), the Surf Music from the 60's, Roger McGuinn (The Byrds) and George Harrison (The Beatles).
Mark Aitken - (Bass guitarist / Vocalist).
Mark has played and sung in bands and duos for over 40 years.
His early band years were spent in Melbourne, which was the hub of the Australian music scene at that time, and so was an ideal environment to play with top bands and gain valuable live band experience. He has continued playing bass guitar and performing vocals with bands in Brisbane and Northern NSW since moving north in 1989.
Musical influences include 60's British pop: The Easybeats, The Beatles, The Shadows, Bee Gees, Eagles, Elton John, Robbie Williams and Keith Urban. Mark plays the role of the RollerCoasters bass guitarist / vocalist.
Music has always been a passion for Mark and he is dedicated to performing and entertaining the crowd with an extensive great list of songs with The RollerCoaster members.
Ken Rickard - (Drums and Vocals).
Ken has had many long hard years of experience on drums / Harmony vocals which includes years of touring UK and Europe with various bands including BBC/ Deram recording artists The Pebbles with Ken as the original drummer. Also touring and gig work in both New Zealand and Australia. Ken is a massive fan of 60's music but in particular has a passion for Beach Boys, The Hollies, The Shadows, The Beatles, The Everly Brothers and the Eagles to name just a few. Ken provides a solid rhythm foundation for The RollerCoasters during their authentic renditions of some of the greatest songs ever penned.

BILLY CARTE
I now also have a rock and roll solo act under the name of Billy Carte. Included in my repertoire are some songs from mid fifties artists I have been researching e.g. Charlie Feathers, Johnny Burnette, Warren Smith, and of course the early Carl Perkins. They are worth a look on YouTube if you get a chance. Details are shown below for a gig at Just Rock Ipswich in February.
From Mike from Cool Change.
_________________________________________
Recently we were entertained at a party by Rik-A-Shay duo who played terrific Rock n Roll plus a variety of other songs - they have 3000 in their repertiore, so can play a huge variety. Rik and Shay have been together for about 15 years and are a very tight unit husband and wife team who perform and harmonise beautifully. They have performed to Rock n Roll crowds up North Qld way around the Gladstone and Rockhampton areas with a huge following, and have been living and performing in WA recently, and just moved to the Gold Coast. If you get the chance to see them, don't miss it, and don't be afraid to ask them to play some RnR for you (or whatever else you like). They are also Wedding Singers just for your special day!
They are available on 0429 669 905 / 0497 936 702.
