Happy Wanderers Square Dance Club

What a fantastic morning at our Breakfast in the Park! ☀️🥓

A big thank you to everyone who helped organise and run the event — it doesn’t happen without you. And an extra special shout out to our president, Ian, for all the work behind the scenes to make it such a success.

Back in 1995, when David Sheedy started training with High Wycombe Amateur Football Club, Linda always joked:
💬 “When I organise to go dancing, we’re going dancing.”

🕺💃 Twenty‑seven years later, Linda finally organised it and now they are proud members of the Happy Wanderers Square Dancing Club.

Every year, the club raises money through raffles and donations to support local causes. Last year, they chose to support our All‑Abilities football side, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

🙏 Thank you to President Ian Pendlebury and Caller Kevin Kelly for coming down to present the donation to our President, Robbie Rowlands.

🤝 Community supporting community.

I have just been informed of the passing of Beryl Wakefield who was a former Square Dancer and friend of Vic and Corrine Maric. Her Funeral details are below.

🎤 Remembering Ken Pike – Kenny Pike The Man with the Mic 🎤

We’re sad to share that our good friend and long-time guest caller, Ken Pike, has passed away.

Ken – known to many as “Kenny Pike the man with the mic” – was a regular and much-loved part of our club nights. He always brought a great energy to the floor and made everyone feel at home, whether he was calling a bracket or just catching up with friends.

He’ll be missed by all of us at Happy Wanderers. Our thoughts are with Marion, his family and friends.

Thanks for everything, Ken. It won’t be the same without you.

We maybe pressing pause on promenades while the Australian National Square Dance Convention kicks up its heels in sunny Queensland ☀️—but be sure to circle 🗓️ 25 July in your calendar for our 52nd Birthday Bash!

The theme is Christmas in July so bring out those Christmas jumpers, jingle bells and enjoy the Birthday celebrations with us! Look forward to seeing you all there!!

🎉 What a night! A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us on Friday – the energy was high, the squares were lively, and the smiles were contagious! 💃🕺

We were lucky enough to have not just one, but TWO reasons to celebrate! 🎂🎤
🎈 First up, a big Happy Birthday to Graham – celebrating a major milestone with style

🏆 And a massive congratulations to our very own David for taking out the Amateur Callers Award on Sunday 22nd– what a star!

Congratulations to our very own David who won the Amateur Callers competition this afternoon! 🎤🏆🥇

Well done to Janice who won the People’s Choice Award and to Warren and Maureen too - to get up and have a go on the other side of the microphone is an incredible achievement in itself. 🥰
