May Monthly Get-together

Another big bunch of Jammers rocked up for the monthly StarPod Jam In, although some may call it all sorts of other things. The truth is that the offical CoolJam ShowOff for this month was by the West Dazzling Dancers and they certainly showed off. Carola designed a 'circus' dance complete with lion taming, multi-coloured balls and flying trapeze.... well now I'm getting carried away, but there were clowns! The co-ordination of the ball handling was stunning. Then Hero Awards were presented to all the Jammers who travelled to Hamilton for the launch event last month. All the new Jammers from Hamilton certainly loved the big welcome from their brothers and sisters up the road from the big smoke, Auckland. So Hero Awards went to all the Velvet Vocals, all the Magic Movers and Ben Matthews. Patrick Bellett StarJam's photographer rode all the way to Hamilton on his motorbike to take photos at the Hamilton launch. A Hero Award for Patrick!! We'll catch up with you soon, Patrick. Another Hero for Hamilton was Charlotte, our trustee volunteer for the Velvet Vocals workshop who drove a carload of Velvets to the Tron. Daniel awarded Kristina Cullen a Hero Award for always helping set up at the monthly get-togethers. The FreeJam turned up some fantastic talent. We look forward to seeing more of it next month. Meantime stay cool all you Jammers
