I became interested in calling during the eighties and attended the Double M caller’s school organised by Ron Mennie and Lee McFadyean, then later on Bill Pendlebury.
I opened Chemistry Sets in September 1997 in Deer Park and we are still dancing to this day, I enjoy calling and dancing. I have attended many state and national conventions.
For a short time I was teaching wheel chair square dancing with the assistance of John Van Delft and was named Silver Spinners.
I am a member of various callers’ associations, programmed various functions at a state level and have had the privilege to call to the dressed sets at state and national conventions.
I am also one of the organisers of the Dusk ‘til Dawn Fundraiser Group which raises funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. This fundraiser started in 2001.
I am at present teaching square dancing to a group of U3A seniors with Lyn’s assistance at the Sunbury Football Club on Monday afternoons.
When not calling I enjoy travelling and spending time with my family especially my three grandchildren.
