Bendigo Jailhouse Rockers Club was formed in August 1996. Our original home was at the Finn Street Reserve hall where we operated for some years until relocating to our current venue – St Andrews Church hall in Myers Street. We meet every Monday night from 7.30pm to 10.00pm (with the exception of a small break over Christmas/New Year). Lessons run from 7.30pm to 8.30pm, social dancing follows, and a light supper is provided.
We provide to our members and the general public a variety of lessons including Rock’n’Roll and Swing. We also hold a number of other social events, such as dinner dances, throughout the year.
We have many requests for demonstrations and lesson workshops at fetes, dances, nursing homes, schools and the like, and have travelled as far a field as Pyramid Hill to fulfil these requests.
Our club boasts a consistent membership of around 180 members, and to become a member it is currently only $25.00 to join. Club membership gives you (amongst other things) discounted rates to all club run functions.
Visitors are always welcome to join in on Monday night club nights for social dancing. There is a small entry fee of $5. A light supper is included. For more information please call our publicity officer: Frank Lynch on 5446-2667.
