President Report Hallo liebe Mitglieder, in gutes neues Jahr liebe Mitglieder. Und schon wieder hat ein neues Jahr begonnen und wir werden auch dieses Jahr versuchen alles für unseren Club zu tun. Die Sommerpause ist vorüber und das erste was Sie sehen werden wenn Sie durch die Eingangstür treten sind die neuen Teppichfiesen im Eingangs und Sugarcastle Bereich. Als nächstes müssen wir uns jetzt um die Renovierung der Karl‘s Bar kümmern. Diese muss bis Ende Juni fertig sein, ansonsten bekommen wir nicht die $18.000.00 von der Regierung. Im Februar ist wieder Karnevalszeit auch bei uns im Club. Ich hoffe Sie alle in Ihren schönsten Kostümen bei Maskenball zu sehen. Die besten Kostüme erhalten Preise. Sonntags ist dann auch wieder unser Kinder Maskenball. Ich hoffe, dass viele, viele Kinder an diesem Nachmittag in Ihren schönsten Kostümen erscheinen. Die Kinder werden viel Spaß bei den Spielen haben und die schönsten Kostüme erhalten Preise. Im März haben wir dann auch wieder unser Schützenfest und am Tag darauf Open Day. Auch möchte ich Sie jetzt schon darauf hinweisen auf unseren Ostertanz mit der Oster Hut Parade. Letztes Jahr hatten wir sehr viele originelle und ausgefallene Hüte. Vielleicht können wir das dieses Jahr noch überbieten. Ich wünsche Ihnen eine gute Zeit, bleiben Sie gesund und unseren Kranken Mitgliedern eine schnelle Genesung. 6
Dear Members,
Happy new Year dear Members.
And again, we started a New Year. We give again our total Commitment
this Year as well to keep our Club smoothly running.
The Summer break is over and the first what you see when you enter the
front door is the new Carpet at the Entrance and the Sugarcastle Room.
Next on the list is to renovate the Karl’s Bar. This need to be finished
by end of June, otherwise we aren’t getting the $18.000.00 from the
Government.
In February is Carnival time and I hope all of you in your best or
funniest costumes to see at our fancydress ball.
Sundays after is then again our children fancy dress ball. I hope to see
lots and lots of Kids in their funniest costumes. We will have a lots of
fun with games and dances and the best costumes getting prizes.
In March we have our Schützenfest and a day later is Open Day.
I would like to remind you about our Easter dance with the Easter hat
parade. Last year we had a lot of original and funny hats. Maybe this
year we can get even more and better ones.
Now I wish you all a great time, stay in good Health and our sick
Members I wish a speedy recovery.
Ursula Deck
7Secretary Report
Liebe Mitglieder,
Auch ich wünsche Ihnen ein gutes Neues Jahr! Ich hoffe Sie sind alle gut ins
neue Jahr gerutscht.
Das Jahr 2020 wir sehr spannend für den Rhein Donau Club. Das Komitee hat
sich viel vorgenommen, um den Club für unsere Mitglieder zu verbessern. Ein
großer Teil dessen ist die Renovierung der Karls Bar. Wie viele von Ihnen schon
wissen, haben wir eine erfolgreiche Application beim Government eingereicht
und uns damit $18,300 sichern können. Wie schon am letzten Members
Meeting erwähnt wurde, müssen wir nun die gleiche Summe investieren.
Wir freuen uns sehr die Karls Bar zu modernisieren im Sinne der Deutschen
Gemütlichkeit.
Um das umzusetzen wären wir sehr dankbar um Hilfe von unseren
Mitgliedern, daher wenn Sie Lust und Zeit haben anzupacken. Melden Sie sich
im Büro. Oder wenn Sie Handwerker sind, der uns weiterhelfen kann. Wir
freuen uns um jede Unterstützung, die wir bekommen können.
Wir haben eine weitere freudige Nachricht. Boby Cletus wird mit der wieder
Eröffnung des Clubs uns mit seinen köstlichen Gerichten verwöhnen. Wir
freuen uns sehr ihn wieder im Club begrüßen zu dürfen und freuen uns sehr
auf die Zusammenarbeit. Ich bin mir sicher Sie werden sich auch alle sehr
freuen auf sein gutes Essen.
Es wird ein spannendes Jahr 2020 und wir im Komitee freuen uns auf die
Projekte und Herausforderungen die vor uns liegen!
Dear Members,
I wish you all a very Happy New Year, I hope you all started it well.
2020 will be a very exciting year for the Rhein Donau Club. The Committee
has plenty of plans to make improvements to the Club for our Members. A
large part of this is the renovation of the Karl’s Bar. As some of you know we
applied for a grant by the government to help improve our Club to service the
8surrounding Community better. Our application was successful therefore we
were allocated $18,300, which the Club will have to match. It is an exciting
opportunity to become more attractive to new members and the surrounding
businesses. If you would like to help and get involved in the Karls Bar
renovation, please don’t hesitate to contact any of us of the committee. We
would appreciate any help, especially if you have a trade to support us.
I would also like to take the opportunity to announce that we have a new
Kitchen Team. Boby Cletus has re-joined us to spoil the Club Members with his
wonderful cooking. We are very happy to have him and are looking forward to
working with him. I am sure you all will be trying his delicious dishes.
It is already shaping up to be an exciting 2020! We are looking forward to the
projects and challenges ahead of us.

When visiting the Netherlands, you may notice more than a few wheeled
contraptions whizzing by you in this town. In fact, it sometimes seems
impossible to separate where the Dutch begin and their bicycles end. Rain
(or rain or rain) or shine, the Dutch can be found criss-crossing Amsterdam
on their trusty (and rusty) two-wheeled friends. With over 956.000 bicycles
in a city of less than 866,737 people (2018), you can understand why we’ve
made this #1 on the complete list of Stuff Dutch People Like. The numbers, my
friends, speak for themselves!!
Of course cycling in itself is not such a special feat, many cities around the
world are now home to a growing mass of daily cycle-commuters, but trust
me, the Dutch bring their own distinct flare to the sport. Don’t expect to see
any fancy, sophisticated, titanium-suspension-rigged bicycles on the streets.
Dutch people certainly will not be impressed by how much your posh new
bike set you back.
Nope, Dutch people love their gearless, rusted, chain-just-barely-hanging-on
variety. Why, you ask, with the amount of biking they do? Well, we all know
that practicality and “frugality” (and directness..but we’ll save that for another
day) run through every Dutchie’s blood! Why spend your hard-earned cash
on fancy features when your unusually large thighs and lungs can do the hard
work instead?!? Heck, the Dutch would even rather power their bike lights
with only their leg-pumping-energy (…’cause we all know how the cost of
batteries can sure add up!! ;)
The most impressive feat of all however, is how Dutch people ride these heaps
of metal and rust. Don’t be surprised by the Dutch’s uncanny ability to ride
a gearless bicycle while talking on a mobile phone, carrying 2 children, 6
18bags of groceries, a television set, and a mattress balanced neatly on the back!
Having grown up on wheels, the Dutch can conduct daily superhuman acts
with laid-back coolness. I’d strongly recommend not trying it on your own.
Are you wondering how you are ever going to avoid getting run over by a
fervent cyclist? Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of good advice for you there.
Keep your eyes peeled, don’t dare set foot on the bike paths, and listen
carefully for those angry bicycle bells ringing an onslaught of nasty insults.
Oh….and don’t get too confused if in a moment of rage, someone calls you an
idiot!
Edelweiss Dance Group
Happy New Year to all members from the Edelweiss Dance Group! We are
looking forward to a busy year with preparations for Volkstanzfest 2021 which
are to be held in Perth at Easter time.
We will resume dance and bells practice for adults on the 2/2/2020 and for
the kids at on the 9/2/2020. People are always welcome to pop in to join us on
Sundays from 5pm if you are interested in joining the group.
See you on the dance floor,
Rebecca, Group Leader
19Table Tennis Group
After an extended break over Christmas/New Year I am sure we are all happy
and eager to resume our table tennis playing.
Our Christmas breakup party was well
attended and enjoyable. After a few
games of table tennis we all retired
to enjoy some food as well as a drink
from the bar. Dave Ramsay thanked
everyone for a great year and then
Joyce Williams presented the Jerry Lee
Perpetual Trophy to our 2019 winners
Reinhard Lot & Taka Wild. Well done
to both of them. It was also great to
see Joyce looking so well after a few
health problems during the year.
Through our membership and
fundraising efforts we purchased two
new tables for our group at a very
good price. Many thanks to Reinhard
for checking out and approving the
choice of tables, and to Dave Ramsay
and Paul Robson for their efforts in
picking up and assembling the tables. These top of the range tables will
replace some of our older tables in the hall, and in turn the second hand tables
will be used in our playing shed in the Rhein Donau carpark.
One of our players, Ken McClure, went on a holiday late last year with his
wife Sally and some retired friends and kindly sent through a short article:
20“The cruise was on the Sapphire Princess from
Southampton to Singapore for 37 days. We had a
great time with enjoyable times on board including
playing many games of table tennis with some good
players from USA and Canada. I won a competition
on a number of occasions but best games were on
sea days when a group of about 4 guys got together
in the arvo. The cruise was a bit eventful with two
diversions due to bad weather and three medical
emergencies. I don’t think I put on weight on this
cruise as the guys at the Rhein Donau club didn’t mention it this time, they
have been quick on other occasions!!!”
Thanks Ken, and great photo too!
New members are always welcome and we look forward to a successful 2020.

Seniors
Dear Seniors,
I hope you had a good start into the New Year. Again I wish you all a happy
and healthy 2020. We will start again on Wednesday 5th of February 2020.
Our Christmas Lunch was very nice and everybody did enjoy it very much.
Heinz surprised us with a Christmas Poem.
To all the members who helped us to set up the tables, a big thank you. A big
welcome to Hugo. He enjoys playing Rummikub, but would be happy to find
another partner to play skat, so we hope to find more members to join us.
To all the members who celebrated their birthday in January,
we wish many happy returns and good health. Rita
21West Australian Mandolin Orchestra
Mandolin Orchestra players, with some spouses - or should that be spice ( you
know, as in mouse / mice) anyway the aforementioned gathered for an end of
2019, bring a plate and bottle, windup. After any hunger and thirst was seen
to, various members entertained the throng with solos, duets and songs.
A thoroughly enjoyable night. After the summer school mentioned in previous
articles, 2020 rehearsals will begin on the 5th of February. We’re all chomping
at the bit for some new music.
Crystal Swan, a square glass cruise / function boat based at Barrack St jetty
has booked a quintette of WAMO players - one from each voice, 1st, 2nd,
Mandola, Guitar and Bass - to entertain the passengers whilst cruising along
the river. Considering the technique used to play the instruments, after a short
discussion the quintette decided the name “ Totally Plucked “ would be an
appropriate name for the group. A truly international program moving from
Ireland to Japan and points in between has been rehearsed in preparation for
the performances in late January and early February.
After the percussion instructions and exercises of the Summer School you can
certainly say that 2020 has started with a bang!
The Federation of Australian Mandolin Ensembles
( FAME ) are holding a national festival from 2nd
to the 12th of January 2020 in Adelaide. These
festivals are aimed at competent ensemble players
with a final concert involving up to 100 players. A
unique experience.
