About the Club

The club has been meeting since 1964 and Arnold Thurling has been the teacher and driving force of the club most of this time.  Arnold is one of the first in Australia to be honoured by being given a Branch Award from Scotland  for Outstanding Service to Scottish Country Dancing.  Below is a picture of him at the fortieth annual social celebration on 6 August 2005 being presented with this Sydney Branch Award by the Chairman, Jeanette Stephan.

Annual Social

We have our Social each year on the first Saturday in August at which we welcome visitors from surrounding areas, interstate and overseas.  The Social is held at the Ribbonwood Centre at Dapto, 12km south of Wollongong City centre, and is easy to reach from theFreeway from Sydney in the north and Nowra in the south.  Entry is from the Old Princes Highway via Moombara Street and parking is on the north side of the building.
