She is a relative new-comer to the activity of square dancing as she has only been involved for about 3 years.
Her enthusiasm and interest in all aspects of the square dancing scene, however, makes up for any lack of experience It seems to be In her blood as both her parents were Tasmanian representatives in square dancing back in the late ’50’s
Sue started learning round dancing approximately 12 months ago and to add to her achievements, in Sydney, joined the contra dance Association – a sideline which has interested her for some time.
 She is presently passing on her knowledge to her Class 5 students. It is hoped that they Will become Proficient enough to do her credit at future arts and dance festivals In the Hobart area as well as perform at the 30th National Convention next year.
Sue’s first National experience was at the Geelong Convention last year and she has followed that up with the 29th, National this year but due to the Tassie school holidays finishing the same weekend was unfortunately unable to go on to the Expovention.
This didn’t prevent her Visiting the Sunshine State and Expo beforehand though!

The relatively little spare time Sue has remaining is filled to overflowing with her other Interests in amateur radio (through Girl Guides), genealogy, travelling, reading, tenpin bowling and as editor/publisher of a monthly circular for the Hobart Walking Club as well as the Tasmanian square dancing magazine Stepping Out.

Her experience in organising many activities involving transport for both school and guide groups will stand her in good stead for her position in arranging transport and tours for next years National.
Her enthusiastic approach to the job is already paying dividends.

The old adage says that if you want a job done well – ask a busy person.

This is certainly the case with Sue.
