shop for fresh supplies. The Danish club
sold almost everything we had, the
volunteers in the kitchen, bar, and stalls
worked hard to keep up and the visitors
waited patiently in long queues everywhere. Outside, on and off stage, the
folk dancers, KUPALEJA, the Swedish
dancers, Scandinavian Singers, Big H
again, Norwegian trolls, and even Hans
Christian Andersen kept the crowds
entertained. The raffle draw was almost
an anti-climax, and with the many
prizes it took time and lots of help from
patient children who drew the winning
tickets.
And we’re planning on doing it all again
next year if we can get enough support
from government, council and corporate
sources: 8 September 2013 is the date
to note in your new calendar!

The Scandinavian Festival was a huge
success – although we’ll never know the
exact figure, it is estimated that 5,000
people visited Austin Street. There has
never been that much activity on a
Sunday morning from 5 am with crews
setting up marquees and equipment
almost in the dark. Stallholders and
volunteers then moved in to get ready
for business. It turned into a busy and
hot September day, with icing and ice
cream alike melting. The club house
with its air conditioning provided brief
relief from the heat and a cold beer.
And sentimental favourites from Big H –
I was humming old Kim Larsen tunes
the next couple of days. Some food
stalls sold out quickly and managed to

Come visit the club and catch up with new and old friends. Try our tasty ‘smørrebrød’: the menu varies from time to time, but you’ll usually find ‘rullepølse’ (spicy

brews. If you like a glass of wine with your food, we have a good variety of whites,
reds and sparkling on offer.
It’s also an opportunity to buy delicious Danish pastries, rye bread and other specialty
breads and organic biscuits direct from Britt’s Danish Delights. Tea offers smallgoods
and quality meats from Flemming, the Danish butcher at Woolloongabba, as well as

JULESTUE
Julesmåkagebagning
Der er fuld gang i ovnen, når børnene (og andre, der måske ikke har bagt i mange år) går i
gang med at lave skønne danske julesmåkager. Hvadenten det er vanillekranse, finsk brød,
rutebiler eller nissefigurer, det kommer til at smage rigtig lækkert.
Julestue
Kom igang med julepynten sammen med børnene, der skal klippes og klistres stjerner og
julehjerter eller fantasidyr til at komme på juletræet. Sidste år lavede Magnus et utroligt
flot og meget australsk julehjerte med en koala – lad os nu se, om han kan gøre det igen i år.
Vi har også lavet appelsiner med nelliker og flotte sløjfer og forgyldte grankogler.
Juletræspyntning
Kan I huske det flotte juletræ sidste år? Det skal pyntes igen fra top til fod og være klar
til julefesterne i november og december for den svenske, den norske og schweiziske klub,
inden det bliver vores egen tur 8. december 2012. Julemanden kommer kun, hvis træet
stråler!

Baren sælger juice og sodavand, kaffe og te og mon ikke vi kan klare hot dogs eller en

New Committee Following the AGM,
the new committee met for the first
time with Merete Gorry as new
secretary and Kim Tvede will take a
year off. Otherwise no changes.
be the club’s last event of the year
before the summer break.
We have a fresh shipment of beer,
snaps and liquorice ready for sale.
Events The kitchen, bar and stalls
yielded a combined festival result of
approx. $10,000 and we gained two
new members on the day. It was hard
work for the committee members over
a prolonged period, but a valuable
contribution to the club. The festival
costs themselves were covered by
government and council grants, stall
fees, stallholder contributions and the
profit from the raffle, with no additional
costs to be covered by the three clubs.
The calendar for the Christmas season
was discussed, we’re going to be busy
although not planning a Christmas
market this year. The October and
November Café Danmark will have
Christmas stalls as usual, although
there was some concern about fitting it
all in with the new tables. We may hire
plastic chairs for the outside area. The
Juletræsfest on 8 December 2012 will
Donation The committee agreed to
donate funding for a new flag for the
Folk Dancers (approx. $300).
New equipment and maintenance
New roof appears to have lowered the
inside temperature at the club house by
a couple of degrees, will be interesting
to see if this is reflected in our power
bill. We have an application in for
funding of a solar system and are still
awaiting the outcome. Alan has
painted the back exterior wall ‘crocodile’
(a dark mossy colour), our neighbours
were keen not to have a white wall
again reflecting in the sunlight.
Money The accounts show a loss of
approx. $45,000 after payment of the
new roof.
Membership Many new members in
the past three months, wonderful, but
still missing membership fees from
about 35 old members.

Danes Abroad Business Group Online (DABGO) – Brisbane joining the world wide network
The DABGO network has for several years provided a regular monthly meeting place for Danes working
abroad with their popular Stambord arrangement.
The monthly meeting is always the first Wednesday of the month and the venue usually at a bar/hotel and the
format is informal – it is simply a meeting place for Danes working abroad to meet up with other Danes and
have a chat over a beer or two.
Assuming that we are accepted into the network we will host our first DABGO meeting at The Danish Club on
Wednesday 7 November at 6 PM.
Check the website for updates.
Scandinavian Festival
23 September 2012
We worked hard to spread the word about the festival to attract a good number of
visitors in addition to all the Scandinavians – and it worked!
Based on a head count at set intervals, the estimate is that between 5,000 and 6,000
visitors attended the festival, which far exceeded our expectations. It was great to see
many members of the clubs as well as a large number of people just interested in
seeing and tasting all things Scandinavian.
We were very fortunate to have our new Danish Ambassador, Børge Petersen join us
with his wife Jytte as well as our local Danish Consul Lars Kirk and his wife Dorte,
and I would like to thank them for attending the event and helping to open the festival.
Our local MP – Robert Cavallucci – assistant minister for Multicultural Affairs Queensland attended on behalf of
our 2 main sponsors, Brisbane City Council and Queensland Government and officially opened the festival.
This followed a spectacular kick-off by our Danish Folk Dancing Group showing off their great costumes and
their dancing skills with Tom Larsen sharing his knowledge about folk dancing with the public – great stuff.
Kurt Christensen was our MC for the day and ran a very busy and varied program including traditional
Scandinavian folk music and accordion, dancing Norwegian trolls, Swedish Maypole Dancing, The Scandinavian
Choir and Big H belting out a number of contemporary Danish hits.
One of our themes was Hans Christian Andersen and I’m sure nobody recognised Kurt as
he presented the sketch of ‘The Princess and the Pea’ with a real princess and prince and
royal couple – and a heap of mattresses, of course – plus a pea.
The clubs had prepared food which was sold at the food stalls and we had a great selection
of savoury and sweet with our Danish baker offering amongst other cinnamon snails, the
Norwegian waffles, the Swedish smörgåstorta and meatballs, and the Danish club had
prepared roast pork sandwiches (flæskestegssandwich) with red cabbage and crispy crackling, hot dogs – of course
– and ice creams cones from Copenhagen Ice Cream.
In addition, the Heimdal smørrebrødsteam worked like mad to keep up with the demand for smørrebrød and lost
count of number of smørrebrød, it was a huge effort – well done!
The bar was no less busy – at some stage we just carried in cartons of cold beer, placed on the bar and sold
straight out of the box – all the Tuborg we had chilled went and although we didn’t sell out, we were down to the
last cartons.
The market stalls were all interesting and good quality and we had everything from Danish vintage furniture,
books, paintings, children’s clothing
and accessories, jewellery, goodies, a
LEGO playcentre and LEGO
jewellery, photography, chiropractor –
and more.
We also had representatives from
is about to become an Olympic sport,
matches with public participation to
Floorball Queensland and as floorball
they kindly ran a number of display
show how much fun the game is.
Also a traditional Scandinavian sport,
information booth, and both clubs
quite a bit of interest.

gained new members and generated
At 3 PM we started the draw of our monster raffle – we had over 60 prizes valued at $11,000 – and thanks to
generous donations we were able to raise the additional funding required to host the Scandinavian Festival.
We would like to thank all our sponsors listed below for their kind contributions but also a big thank you to all
members who supported the event by buying the raffle tickets and attending on the day.
The feedback we have received has been fantastic – everybody had a great day and enjoyed themselves, and I
would like to send a huge thanks to all the volunteers for the day – without you, it would not have been possible –
we need a lot of hands on such a day, and if you didn’t participate this year, be sure to join next year’s festival –
yes, all Scandinavian clubs have agreed to repeat the festival – subject to funding, of course – Sunday 8
September 2013.
The biggest thank you of all goes to your hard working festival committee, who attended weekly meetings to
prepare the event in the months leading up to the festival plus worked like mad on the day to keep up.
Thanks to our sponsors who provided funding, raffle prizes and lots of help
