Clogging is a misnomer, since it is not performed in clogs but shoes with jingle (or double) taps. Modern clogging is danced to a variety of music from blue grass to rock, pop and country. The Australian Clogging Association National Convention is the premier clogging event of the year in Australia. Each year it is held in different regions on behalf of the ACA. It is a weekend event, with social dancing in the evenings and workshops during the day, catering to all levels of dancers. For non-dancers attending either Friday or Saturday evening Socials the cost is $5.00. For more information or to download a registration form, visit the ACA website at www.cloggingaustralia.com .

Dragon City Volleyball Tournament 2010

The Bendigo Volleyball Association is once again hosting the annual Dragon City Tournament at the Schweppes Centre courts.

The work in this exhibition has been generated through a series of workshops co-ordinated by CreateAbility Events Network. CreateAbility was established in Bendigo in 2002 with the aim of providing opportunities through the arts for people of all abilities to express themselves and connect with others.

The works that are included in this exhibition are an expression of each individual’s personal creative impulse. Vibrancy and an immediacy of expression characterise the impact of their visual language.

These artists offer another voice and another perspective from those that are commonly seen and heard in the arts. Their perspectives expand the range of possibilities and experiences for everyone.

Vibe Alive is about celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and being a proud Aussie. It’s also the perfect chance to meet some new mates!

Based in Bendigo through the weekend of September 18 - 19, the rally covers around 500kms of roads and approximately 20 driving tests repeated over the two-day duration.
