Old Towels etc

Anne from Burwood

A few weeks ago a lady was asking for old towels and sheets for use at kennels. Does anyone remember her name or have contact details as I have had a bit of a cleanout and have quite a few to get rid of. I did give her some at the time but didn't keep her number. Thanks

(Greater) Hungarian Folk dance classes

If you ever wanted to try some folk dance why not come along Sundays to the Hungarian Club at 11 Hardy Street, New Brighton? This month István has been teaching us three dances from Moldavia (currently in Romania).
Classes are free in January but may have a small charge from February.
You don't have to be Hungarian to join but it may have extra appeal to anyone of Greater Hungarian ancestry (Romania, the old Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, and the Ukraine) – but if you like to move (and sweat) you will enjoy yourself.
Class is 5-7pm but no problem leaving early. Children welcome.
No extra fitness needed (after all I'm not that young and slightly overweight) – but not a good idea for people with knee issues as it involves fast footwork and a little jumping/hopping at times.
Sequences are very simple (step side, step side step side, stamp – sort of thing). Lots of repetition and quite casual (you can sit down – or leave when you need to).
You don't need to be able to speak Hungarian; István (who like most people at the club can speak English as well as Hungarian) is a show and copy type of teacher. But the following might be useful: bal (left), jobb (right), egy, kettö, három, négy (1, 2, 3, 4).
If you are really keen, there is a possibility of a short performance in March. No promises.
