PRESIDENTS LETTER<br />

Five of the Committee members elected at the last Annual General Meet<strong>in</strong>g resigned at our<br />

committee meet<strong>in</strong>g on 26 February 2003. I regret very much that they have seen resignation as<br />

their only option.<br />

I would like to thank Arild and Ann Nielsen, Jorgen and Ann De Voss, and Erik Andersen for their<br />

many contributions to the runn<strong>in</strong>g of the Association over their respective term of office.<br />

<strong>The</strong> letter of resignation does conta<strong>in</strong> some very general allegations which prompt more<br />

questions and <strong>in</strong>nuendo than the real situation deserves, and I feel I should make a few<br />

comments at this time.<br />

It is true that as President I have had to make decisions relat<strong>in</strong>g to various functions <strong>in</strong> the time<br />

between the monthly Committee meet<strong>in</strong>gs but every account paid by the Association has been<br />

ratified by the Committee, and every decision relat<strong>in</strong>g to the Associations’ deal<strong>in</strong>gs with the<br />

Swiss <strong>Club</strong>, the Aussie Music <strong>Club</strong>, and all deal<strong>in</strong>gs with outsiders have been discussed and<br />

considered by the Committee before any agreements b<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g on the Association have been<br />

f<strong>in</strong>alised.<br />

I also th<strong>in</strong>k most members will accept that some authority has to be given to a President of an<br />

association which only meets monthly, to make some changes to arrangements for functions<br />

and other m<strong>in</strong>or th<strong>in</strong>gs, without the need to call another Committee meet<strong>in</strong>g. I try as far as I can<br />

to telephone other Committee members to get their <strong>in</strong>put. But at the end of the day, the function<br />

has to go ahead and I believe that its up to me to solve any problem affect<strong>in</strong>g the function<br />

without hav<strong>in</strong>g to bother all other Committee members.<br />

Enough of that. Its time to move on.<br />

I am very pleased to say that the Committee has been able to f<strong>in</strong>d some excellent candidates to<br />

fill the vacant positions. Some have had previous experience on the Committee, and all have<br />

enormous goodwill for the <strong>Danish</strong> <strong>Club</strong>, so I am confident that the future of the <strong>Club</strong> is <strong>in</strong> good<br />

hands.<br />

Under Rule 13, the follow<strong>in</strong>g members have been appo<strong>in</strong>ted to fill, until the next annual general<br />

meet<strong>in</strong>g, the casual vacancies result<strong>in</strong>g from these resignations:<br />

Alan Przybylak……………………… Vice President<br />

Riborg Andersen Henrik Holm Committee Members<br />

Alf Berg Jan Andersen Mivi Ottesen Committee Members<br />

<strong>The</strong> duties of Membership Officer, previously handled by Ann De Voss, will be taken over by the<br />

Treasurer, Elna Jensen.<br />

I welcome these members to the Committee and look forward to us all work<strong>in</strong>g together <strong>in</strong> the<br />

best <strong>in</strong>terests of the Association.<br />

Hilsen fra deres President,<br />

Ulla Turner<br />

Cabaret's "Music makes the World go<br />

Round!" Or is it "Stop the World I want<br />

to get off!" You hear people talk about<br />

how stressed and tired they are, well jo<strong>in</strong><br />

the club, such is life! We all have our<br />

problems but hey it is not all bad.<br />

I hear that a wonderful Smørrebrødsaften<br />

was had by about 80 people at Heimdal<br />

on 8 th of March. <strong>The</strong>y witnessed the<br />

acceptance of a new Honorary Member of<br />

Heimdal, Frank Nissen-Wiss, Ridder af<br />

Dannebrog, former <strong>Danish</strong> Consul <strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>Brisbane</strong>, former President of the <strong>Danish</strong><br />

<strong>Club</strong> Heimdal, husband of lovely Jean,<br />

father, grandfather, friend and a<br />

gentleman. Frank we all appreciate you<br />

very much and I th<strong>in</strong>k this, your new<br />

"status", <strong>in</strong> the Heimdal association, is<br />

very much deserved.<br />

Frank Nissen-Wiis received a framed<br />

certificate and two Holmegaard<br />

candlesticks as gifts from Heimdal.<br />

Former president of Heimdal, Preben<br />

Nielsen, and his wife Eileen, sent a<br />

congratulatory telegram which was read<br />

out and translated <strong>in</strong>to English. <strong>The</strong><br />

Letter from the Editor<br />

honorary member and his guests were<br />

seated at the ma<strong>in</strong> table with a white<br />

tablecloth, all other tables were with red<br />

tablecloths. Fresh roses and candlesticks<br />

made for a beautiful sett<strong>in</strong>g. <strong>The</strong> food was<br />

praised by many guests and Mrs. Jean<br />

Nissen-Wiis gave a special thank you to<br />

the kitchen staff.<br />

President Ulla Turner wishes, on behalf of<br />

the Committee, to add her thank you to<br />

the kitchen staff for all their hard work.<br />

Hip hip hooray from Ulla!<br />

Another celebration at the<br />

Smørrebrødsfest was an 80 th birthday.<br />

<strong>The</strong> contract between Heimdal and <strong>The</strong><br />

Aussie Mucic Blub has been signed and<br />

on Friday the 14 th of March the<br />

Committee was <strong>in</strong>vited to the Aussie<br />

Music <strong>Club</strong>'s first function at Heimdal.<br />

www.danishclubbrisbane.org PAGE 9


Ulla Turner and other committee<br />

members were there and Ulla reports of a<br />

lovely even<strong>in</strong>g with a bunch of young<br />

people play<strong>in</strong>g to their hearts content and<br />

more importantly to the listeners content.<br />

It was a great even<strong>in</strong>g, says Ulla. <strong>The</strong><br />

parents of the young musicians were there<br />

to look after that all was well, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g<br />

no underage dr<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g. All the young<br />

musicians were escorted to their car after<br />

the function. One of the fathers was<br />

meet<strong>in</strong>g guests at the door mak<strong>in</strong>g sure<br />

they signed the Guest Book. Coffee and<br />

tea with sandwiches and other goodies<br />

were served from the kitchen. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

needed a hand with the dishwasher but<br />

apart from that they had no problems<br />

settl<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Club</strong> was left neat and<br />

tidy after their function. Ulla says she<br />

feels conv<strong>in</strong>ced this new "partnership"<br />

will be great for Heimdal. All Heimdal's<br />

members are <strong>in</strong>vited to attend their<br />

functions. (See page 29 for more<br />

<strong>in</strong>formation elsewhere <strong>in</strong> this<br />

Newsletter/:Editor).<br />

A <strong>Danish</strong> family Randi, Peter, Emma and<br />

Sebastian Terkildsen, who settled <strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>Brisbane</strong> <strong>in</strong> November 2002 attended the<br />

Christmas Bazaar and sent a letter to Ulla<br />

Turner about their experience. Ulla<br />

passed the letter on to me. <strong>The</strong> letter is<br />

published on page 16 with Randi's<br />

consent.<br />

Unfortunately the <strong>The</strong>rkildsen family was<br />

very disappo<strong>in</strong>ted and did not feel very<br />

welcome at Heimdal. I f<strong>in</strong>d that really<br />

sad and wonder how we, longtime<br />

members, can avoid that happen<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the<br />

future. I was read<strong>in</strong>g an old Newsletter<br />

and saw that the then committee discussed<br />

sett<strong>in</strong>g up a welcome committee (group)<br />

to look after and <strong>in</strong>troduce visitors to the<br />

PAGE 10 www.danishclubbrisbane.org<br />

old timers and vice versa. Sounds like a<br />

good idea. In practical terms I th<strong>in</strong>k this<br />

means that a couple of people volunteer to<br />

meet people at the door and simply ask if<br />

they have been here before? If the answer<br />

is no, they are taken "by the hand" to<br />

write themselves <strong>in</strong> the Guest Book and<br />

pay for whatever is required at the<br />

particular function. <strong>The</strong>n <strong>in</strong>troduce them<br />

to a few people and all be<strong>in</strong>g well the<br />

newcomers will soon feel as part of the<br />

Heimdal Family.<br />

I would like to say to the <strong>The</strong>rkildsen<br />

Family: "Give us another go, come to the<br />

next Ulla's Cafe on 28 th of March." This<br />

is a very <strong>in</strong>formal even<strong>in</strong>g where we get a<br />

good chance to have a talk over a cup of<br />

coffee or a cold dr<strong>in</strong>k. Hope to see you<br />

there!<br />

When we as a family of five first arrived<br />

at a Heimdal function, a "BBQ <strong>in</strong> the<br />

Park", we were welcomed by several<br />

people and <strong>in</strong>vited to share chairs and<br />

table with people we, of course, had<br />

never met. It is never easy to be new <strong>in</strong> a<br />

group, let alone <strong>in</strong> a new country with no<br />

family and friends around you for<br />

support, advice and assistance. This<br />

makes it so much more important for us,<br />

who have lived here for years now, to do<br />

our best to make new visitors feel at home<br />

amongst us. This is a bit of a wake up<br />

call, let us listen and live up to the<br />

challenge!<br />

I for one f<strong>in</strong>d the suggestions of games of<br />

"rundbold" excellent as I loved to play<br />

that and another couple of favorites were<br />

"hjørnekikkert" , "tagbold" and "dåseleg".<br />

If we do not teach the children those<br />

games soon they will be forgotten. This<br />

was partly my thought when I tried to get<br />

the boys to participate <strong>in</strong> the songgames


at Fastelavn. But you need a group of<br />

people to play those games. Where are<br />

you young parents with your children to<br />

organise "A day of games <strong>in</strong> the Park?"<br />

Lately I have decided on a new hobby and<br />

jo<strong>in</strong>ed a choir. Read<strong>in</strong>g Randi<br />

Terkildsen's email it gave me the idea that<br />

this would be just right for Heimdal's<br />

members and friends: A choir. We could<br />

meet once a week and s<strong>in</strong>g <strong>Danish</strong> songs<br />

from Højskolesangbogen and/or other, we<br />

could s<strong>in</strong>g English songs and have so<br />

much fun. Unfortunately I cannot read<br />

music or conduct/direct so I am appeal<strong>in</strong>g<br />

to someone out there who can, and I can<br />

promise; You already have one alto s<strong>in</strong>ger<br />

for the Heimdal Choir. Let's do it!<br />

Now to the near future: Easter is fast<br />

approach<strong>in</strong>g and the celebration this year<br />

at Heimdal's is with self serve Buffet and<br />

then the floor will be cleared for danc<strong>in</strong>g<br />

with <strong>The</strong> Good Time Band, wellknown to<br />

guests at the Grand Ball at the Sheraton.<br />

Aage and I are plann<strong>in</strong>g to be head<strong>in</strong>g off<br />

to Europe before Easter and we will be<br />

edit<strong>in</strong>g the next Newsletter on the road or<br />

<strong>in</strong> the air. Please cont<strong>in</strong>ue to send us<br />

material for public<strong>in</strong>g the earlier the<br />

better, ideally no later than the 10 th of<br />

April, as we will set up as much as<br />

possible of the next Newsletter before we<br />

go.<br />

It is to be a holiday after all!!!<br />

Enough from me for now, I must go and<br />

put on a face as we are go<strong>in</strong>g out for<br />

d<strong>in</strong>ner tonight. Hooray someone is<br />

cook<strong>in</strong>g but not me!<br />

Sygehuse bereder sig på super<strong>in</strong>fluenza<br />

Offentliggjort 15. marts 2003<br />

Af TEA KROGH SØRENSEN<br />

<strong>Den</strong> aggressive lungesygdom, som har spredt<br />

sig i Sydøstasien, er formentlig kommet til<br />

Europa, efter en læge fra S<strong>in</strong>gapore lørdag<br />

blev <strong>in</strong>dlagt og isoleret på et hospital i<br />

Frankfurt med symptomer på den frygtede<br />

super<strong>in</strong>fluenza.<br />

Flere udbrud af en mystisk og dødbr<strong>in</strong>gende<br />

<strong>in</strong>fluenzalignende sygdom i Sydøstasien får<br />

nu de danske sundhedsmyndigheder til at<br />

advare landets embedslæger og sygehuse om<br />

at være opmærksomme på hjemvendte<br />

danskere med symptomer på smitte. Dukker<br />

der hjemvendte turister op fra Hong Kong,<br />

Hanoi og det sydlige K<strong>in</strong>a, som frygtes<br />

smittet med lungesygdommen, skal de straks<br />

isoleres.<br />

<strong>Den</strong> ukendte sygdom, som betegnes SARS,<br />

akut åndedrætssyndrom, er tilsyneladende på<br />

vej til at sprede sig fra Sydøstasien, og FN´s<br />

verdenssundhedsorganisation WHO<br />

betegnede lørdag den frygtede sygdom som<br />

en "verdensomspændende helbredstrussel".<br />

Lørdag eftermiddag kom det første tilfælde af<br />

SARS formentlig til Europa, da en læge fra<br />

S<strong>in</strong>gapore blev <strong>in</strong>dlagt og isoleret på<br />

Wolfgang Goethe Universitetshospitalet i<br />

Frankfurt under et transitophold på vej fra<br />

New York til S<strong>in</strong>gapore.<br />

<strong>Den</strong> syge læge, som havde behandlet nogle af<br />

de første patienter i S<strong>in</strong>gapore, blev taget af<br />

flyet, og han blev <strong>in</strong>dlagt under karantæne.<br />

De øvrige flypassagerer blev holdt i<br />

karantæne i lufthavnen.<br />

Ifølge WHO er der i den forløbne uge<br />

Nyheder fra Danmark<br />

rapporteret mere end 150 nye tilfælde af den<br />

atypiske lungebetændelse, hovedparten i<br />

Hong Kong, Hanoi, S<strong>in</strong>gapore og Sydk<strong>in</strong>a,<br />

men lørdag meldte WHO også om nye<br />

tilfælde i Malaysia og Taiwan, ligesom<br />

sygdommen ifølge nyhedsbureauet AP har<br />

kostet to canadiere livet.<br />

»Vi følger situationen meget nøje. Det<br />

foruroligende ved sygdommen er, at man<br />

endnu ikke ved, om der er tale om en<br />

<strong>in</strong>fluenza eller en lungebetændelse, men den<br />

er under alle omstændigheder meget smitsom,<br />

så det kunne dreje sig om en <strong>in</strong>fluenzavirus.<br />

<strong>Den</strong> responderer ikke på nogen form for<br />

antibiotika,« siger Nils Strandberg Pedersen,<br />

direktør for Statens Serum Institut.<br />

På baggrund af WHO's udmeld<strong>in</strong>ger har<br />

Serum<strong>in</strong>stituttet advaret landets embedslæger,<br />

<strong>in</strong>fektionsmedic<strong>in</strong>ske afdel<strong>in</strong>ger, kl<strong>in</strong>iske<br />

mikrobiologer og skadestuer om, at personer,<br />

som kommer hjem fra området omkr<strong>in</strong>g Hong<br />

Kong, Hanoi og Sydk<strong>in</strong>a med symptomer på<br />

den <strong>in</strong>fluenzalignende sygdom skal isoleres.<br />

»Men der er grund til at understrege, at det<br />

<strong>in</strong>dtil videre kun gælder folk, som har været<br />

ude at rejse i præcis disse områder <strong>in</strong>denfor<br />

de seneste 14 dage,« siger Nils Strandberg<br />

Pedersen.<br />

Heller ikke de mange hundredetus<strong>in</strong>de<br />

danskere, som i disse dage plages af den<br />

aktuelle <strong>in</strong>fluenzaepidemi, har noget at frygte,<br />

påpeger han.<br />

De første tilfælde af den alvorlige<br />

lungesygdom ramte i sidste måned K<strong>in</strong>as<br />

sydlige Guandongprov<strong>in</strong>s, hvor flere end tre<br />

hundrede mennesker blev syge, og fem døde.<br />

I slutn<strong>in</strong>gen af februar blev en 48-årig<br />

amerikansk forretn<strong>in</strong>gsmand, som netop<br />

havde opholdt sig i Shanghai, <strong>in</strong>dlagt på et<br />

www.danishclubbrisbane.org PAGE 13


hospital i Hanoi med symptomer på alvorlig<br />

lungebetændelse. Her smittede han omkr<strong>in</strong>g<br />

30 hospitalsansatte, <strong>in</strong>den han blev overført til<br />

et hospital i Hong Kong, hvor han også nåede<br />

at smitte cirka 30 ansatte, <strong>in</strong>den han døde af<br />

lungebetændelse. En del af det smittede<br />

plejepersonale er nu meget svært angrebet og<br />

<strong>in</strong>dlagt på <strong>in</strong>tensiv afdel<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

»Stemn<strong>in</strong>gen er derfor anspændt i hele<br />

området, og vi følger situationen nøje.<br />

Symptomerne er <strong>in</strong>fluenzalignende, startende<br />

med feber, hoste og muskelsmerter, som<br />

hurtigt udvikler sig til vejrtrækn<strong>in</strong>gsbesvær,«<br />

siger Nils Strandberg Pedersen.<br />

Mens super<strong>in</strong>fluenzaen således vækker stor<br />

<strong>in</strong>ternational bekymr<strong>in</strong>g, forløber den<br />

hjemlige epidemi med <strong>in</strong>fluenza-A og -B<br />

langt roligere, selv om hundredetus<strong>in</strong>de<br />

danskere i denne tid er henvist til sengen.<br />

<strong>Den</strong> aktuelle <strong>in</strong>fluenzaepidemi lægger<br />

klasselokaler næsten øde, er skyld i stribevis<br />

af aflyste møder og giver småbørnsforældrene<br />

akutte pasn<strong>in</strong>gsproblemer.<br />

Det er dog <strong>in</strong>tet at regne for de problemer,<br />

som <strong>in</strong>fluenza-epidemier gennem århundreder<br />

har pådraget menneskeheden.<br />

Folket<strong>in</strong>get vedtager dansk deltagelse i<br />

Irak-krigen<br />

21. marts 2003<br />

Statsm<strong>in</strong>ister Anders Fogh Rasmussen på<br />

pressemødet efter at Folket<strong>in</strong>get vedtog at<br />

danske styrker deltager i krigen mod Irak.<br />

Med stemmer fra Dansk Folkeparti fik<br />

reger<strong>in</strong>gen i dag Folket<strong>in</strong>gets opbakn<strong>in</strong>g til at<br />

fortsætte deres kurs mod en dansk militær<br />

<strong>in</strong>dsats i Irak-krigen, siger Ritzau.<br />

<strong>Den</strong> snævre vedtagelse betyder, at Danmark<br />

nu bidrager med ubåden Sælen, korvetten<br />

Olfert Fischer og et lægehold til den<br />

amerikansk ledede krig mod Irak. I alt<br />

<strong>in</strong>dsætter Danmark mellem 150 og 160 mand<br />

i krigen.<br />

Ubåden Sælen er allerede fremme i den<br />

Persiske Golf, og korvetten Olfert Fischer kan<br />

være fremme midt i april.<br />

Afstemn<strong>in</strong>gen og den efterfølgende<br />

vedtagelse kom efter ni timers ophedet debat i<br />

Folket<strong>in</strong>get, der ikke flyttede holdn<strong>in</strong>gerne<br />

nævneværdigt.<br />

De fem oppositionspartier fastholdte, at det


var i strid med folkeretten:<br />

- Om få timer er Danmark krigsførende i Irak.<br />

Vi mener, det er forkert, sagde Niels Helveg<br />

Petersen fra Det Radikale Venstre under<br />

debatten.<br />

De fem oppositionspartier er enige om, at<br />

reger<strong>in</strong>gen bidrager til at undergrave den<br />

<strong>in</strong>ternationale retsorden ved at støtte en krig<br />

uden om FN.<br />

De peger på, at blot fire ud af de femten lande<br />

i FN's Sikkerhedsråd ønskede krigen få dage<br />

<strong>in</strong>den den gik i gang torsdag.<br />

Reger<strong>in</strong>gen afviste at være på juridisk usikker<br />

grund, med henvisn<strong>in</strong>g til et notat fra<br />

Udenrigsm<strong>in</strong>isteriets embedsmænd.<br />

På det efterfølgende pressemøde viste<br />

statsm<strong>in</strong>ister Anders Fogh Rasmussen<br />

forståelse for de, der reagerer imod krigen.<br />

- Men nogle gange er krigen nødvendig for at<br />

sikre frihed og fred, sagde Anders Fogh<br />

Rasmussen.<br />

Samtidigt opfordrede han til at bakke op om<br />

de soldater, der nu bliver sendt afsted.<br />

Tus<strong>in</strong>der demonstrerer i København<br />

22. marts 2003<br />

Flere tus<strong>in</strong>de mennesker samlede sig i dag<br />

ved USAs ambassade i København for at<br />

demonstrere mod det militære angreb på Irak.<br />

Demonstranterne gik også forbi den britiske<br />

og den spanske ambassade, <strong>in</strong>den den efter<br />

planen skulle videre til Christiansborg.<br />

"Fogh har blod på hænderne", stod der på et<br />

banner, og der var jubel, da SF's formand,<br />

Holger K. Nielsen, og Enhedslistens L<strong>in</strong>e<br />

Barfod i deres taler gik skarpt i rette med<br />

USA's og Danmarks politik.<br />

Politiet var talstærkt til stede. En af<br />

demonstranterne blev anholdt for at have<br />

kastet med æg, oplyser politiets talsmand.<br />

Også i hundreder af byer verden over er der i<br />

dag anti-krigsdemonstrationer.<br />

I Australien har krigsmodstandere<br />

demonstreret for tredje dag i træk mod, at<br />

deres land er med i krigen.<br />

I det muslimske Bangladesh har en<br />

generalstrejke mod krigen lukket skoler og<br />

forretn<strong>in</strong>ger, og i Indonesien, der har den<br />

største muslimske befolkn<strong>in</strong>g i verden, har<br />

3.000 demonstranter råbt slagord foran den<br />

amerikanske ambassade i Jakarta.<br />

I Hyde Park i London ventes i eftermiddag<br />

flere hundrede tus<strong>in</strong>de fredsdemonstranter.<br />

Demonstrationen ventes dog at blive noget<br />

m<strong>in</strong>dre end den i februar, hvor over en<br />

million protesterede i Londons gader mod<br />

Hej Ulla Turner<br />

Your Say<br />

Jeg har dd læst klubbens medlemsblad for marts måned på hjemmesiden<br />

(danishclubbrisbane.org)/red., og det var med stor <strong>in</strong>teresse, jeg læste <strong>in</strong>dlægget om nye<br />

medlemmer og klubbens fremtid.<br />

M<strong>in</strong> familie, som er m<strong>in</strong> mand Peter, vores 2 børn Emma og Sebastian, og jeg , flyttede her til<br />

Australien i november måned 2002, dvs. m<strong>in</strong> mand rejste herned et par måneder i forvejen af<br />

praktiske grunde. Han havde kommunikeret (med dig tror jeg nok) om medlemsskab, og<br />

klublivet i Heimdal lød virkelig godt og positivt. Vi var blevet opfordret til at komme og se<br />

klubben, og det glædede vi os til, for kunne vi være til nytte der, ville det jo bare være skønt.<br />

Også at lære nogle nye mennesker at kende og vi var "full of beans". Vi tog op og besøgte<br />

klubben den dag, der var julemarked, i november vist ?? Men må <strong>in</strong>drømme vi blev slemt<br />

skuffede. Vi kom <strong>in</strong>d, og som nye er det altså svært at henvende sig til folk, der sidder i grupper<br />

og drikker kaffe mv. Vi følte os absolut alene og ikke særligt velkomne der<strong>in</strong>de, og derfor<br />

besluttede vi, at vi ikke ville være medlemmer. Hvorfor melde sig <strong>in</strong>d, hvis der alligevel ikke er<br />

nogle, der gider/har lyst til at snakke med een??<br />

Jeg synes, jeg fornemmer, fra hvad jeg har læst i martsudgaven, og hvad jeg har læst i<br />

decemberudgaven af klubbladet, at bestyrelsen godt er klar over "problemet" med at få nye<br />

medlemmer, og man er opsat på, at der bliver gjort noget. Jeg synes det er dejligt, for for vores<br />

vedkommende her i familien, så er vi kede af , at det var sådan en negativ oplevelse. Man vil<br />

gerne have medlemmerne til at bakke op om de forskellige t<strong>in</strong>g, der foregår. Måske man kunne<br />

lave lidt mere ?? Hvad med eventyrlæsn<strong>in</strong>g for børnene, som man gør i nogle bogbutikker,<br />

håndarbejdsaftner, jeg vil vædde med, der sidder mange (også unge) der kan noget med en<br />

symask<strong>in</strong>e, (selv syr jeg tasker og puder mv.) eller bagedage, der er sikkert nogle, der er<br />

troldmænd i køkkener, og jeg selv kunne godt lide at få et par tips. Man kunne måske så sælge<br />

noget af det, man laver og sige, at en procentdel går til klubben, og på den måde generere lidt<br />

penge i kassen..... Man kunne lave udflugter med børnene til forskellige steder og f.eks.<br />

arrangere rundbold, fodbold osv. Sådan noget er da fantastisk sjovt og giver sammenhold på<br />

tværs.<br />

Jeg ved, at der i forvejen er mange t<strong>in</strong>g på programmet, men hvis man prøvede at få nogle flere<br />

(unge) til at komme med <strong>in</strong>itiativer, så er jeg sikker på, klubben ville blive mere attraktiv at<br />

komme i også for udenforstående, og at de så ville melde sig <strong>in</strong>d. Hvis vi var sikre på ikke at<br />

blive set på som nogle fjolser, der vil lave alt om, så ville vi selv være aktive, vi har altid været<br />

aktive i Danmark og faktisk med et godt resultat....<br />

Det var ikke men<strong>in</strong>gen, den her mail skulle være et surt opstød, men en kommentar til<br />

<strong>in</strong>dlægget og håber ikke, du tager det som sådan, og hvis du har lyst til at respondere, er du<br />

velkommen.<br />

De bedste hilsner<br />

A good start to our 2003 season began at<br />

works and a gun club. And that’s the club I<br />

should have selected on this weekend as the<br />

word that would best describe my day is<br />

generally associated with the aforementioned<br />

works. <strong>The</strong> club turned out to be a good<br />

public venue with nicely grassed fairways<br />

and, consider<strong>in</strong>g the ra<strong>in</strong>, the greens were cut<br />

short and played well, good enough for<br />

Grethe to take only 29 puts which was 4<br />

better than Kai <strong>in</strong> ‘A’ grade. Talk about local<br />

knowledge. <strong>The</strong> map also showed the course<br />

was on Hayes Inlet <strong>in</strong>dicat<strong>in</strong>g a flat type of<br />

Fodbold: Jagten på FCK <strong>in</strong>dledt<br />

Offentliggjort 15. marts 2003<br />

Af DAN PHILIPSEN<br />

Det vil koste jagttegnet, hvis en jæger i dag skyder<br />

en hjort. Heldigvis er fodboldsæsonen skudt i<br />

gang, og derfor måtte Brøndby lørdag gerne<br />

<strong>in</strong>dlede jagten på FC København.<br />

Det gjorde mesterholdet i sikker stil med en 2-1<br />

sejr over Viborg. Ganske vist et skuffende, let<br />

bytte, men det betød ikke noget for de<br />

imponerende 18.110 tilskuere, der fravalgte den<br />

længe ventede udendørs-server<strong>in</strong>g på de<br />

københavnske cafeer lørdag eftermiddag.<br />

De fik det bedste alternativ til en kold fadøl i form<br />

af en god gang fodbold. Alt sammen leveret af<br />

Brøndby.<br />

Forud for kampen havde assistenttræner John<br />

Jensen slået fast, at Brøndby ville forsøge at blæse<br />

Viborg ud af banen fra første fløjt. Men det kræver<br />

11 aggressive spillere. Det var Brøndby-spillerne<br />

ikke, da dommer Claus Bo Larsen omsider modtog<br />

den magtfulde TV-producents accept og piftede<br />

forårsturner<strong>in</strong>gen i gang.<br />

24 sekunder efter havde Viborgs Anders W<strong>in</strong>ther<br />

det første skud på mål efter at Morten Wieghorst<br />

havde <strong>in</strong>dledt med en håbløs tværaflever<strong>in</strong>g. Så var<br />

Brøndby advaret, hvilket måske var grunden til en<br />

lidt forsigtig <strong>in</strong>dledn<strong>in</strong>g fra favoritternes side.<br />

Imponerende pres<br />

Det tog et lille kvarter før Brøndby kom i gang,<br />

men da det skete, kunne Viborg-spillerne så<br />

sandelig også mærke det. Et imponerende pres blev<br />

lagt højt oppe på banen, og <strong>in</strong>dikerede dermed, at<br />

Michael Laudrup trods tabet af gode navne som<br />

Thomas L<strong>in</strong>drup, Allan Ravn, Peter Madsen og<br />

Mogens Krogh, ikke har <strong>in</strong>tentioner om at gå på<br />

kompromis med det offensive fodbold fra efteråret.<br />

Udgangspunktet lå især blandt midtbanespillerne,<br />

hvor Mart<strong>in</strong> Retov og Morten Wieghorst udgjorde<br />

en stærk midterakse med den fremragende Thomas<br />

Sport i Danmark<br />

Kahlenberg lige foran sig. Sidstnævnte virkede helt<br />

klar til superligafodbold. Tim<strong>in</strong>gen og skarpheden<br />

i dribl<strong>in</strong>gerne var af høj klasse. Med s<strong>in</strong> flagrende<br />

stil m<strong>in</strong>der han om den tidligere Brøndby-spiller<br />

Allan Nielsen. Og det er ikke kun fordi, at han<br />

også spiller med nummer syv på ryggen.<br />

Helt store chancer kom værterne dog ikke frem til<br />

før pausen. Brøndby var spilstyrende, og Viborg<br />

levede på holdets varemærke, kontraspillet. Scenen<br />

var helt som man kunne forvente. Men Viborg var<br />

ikke skarpe nok, når chancen bød sig. Det gjorde<br />

den tre m<strong>in</strong>utter før pausen. Wieghorst og Retov<br />

kiksede totalt i kommunikationen, og pludselig var<br />

jyderne seks mod fire. Det gav ikke en afslutn<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

men formentlig Viborg-spillerne lidt mere tro på<br />

t<strong>in</strong>gene.<br />

Jysk overmod<br />

I hvert fald var de overmodige i halvlegens sidste<br />

m<strong>in</strong>ut. Ellers stærke Ralf Pedersen snublede i en<br />

ufarlig duel med Peter Foldgast. <strong>Den</strong><br />

arbejdssomme Foldgast kunne let trille bolden ud i<br />

højre side, hvor Asbjørn Sennels lå alt for langt<br />

fremme til at <strong>in</strong>dhente Mattias Jonson, der fik frit<br />

løb og let kunne skabe den fortjente før<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

Sennels var igen helt væk, da Morten Wieghorst<br />

med en vidunderlig aflever<strong>in</strong>g splittede Viborgs<br />

venstre side. Igen var Jonson fri og han udlignede<br />

på taksigelse-kontoen med en perfekt pasn<strong>in</strong>g til<br />

frie Foldgast. 2-0 og klasseforskellen var <strong>in</strong>dtruffet<br />

på Brøndby Stadion.<br />

<strong>Den</strong> holdt kampen ud, hvor de mange tilskuere<br />

også fik lejlighed til at hylde den nye målmand<br />

Casper Ankergren, der midt i 2. halvleg i stor stil<br />

hentede Søren Frederiksens hovedstød oppe i<br />

målhjørnet.<br />

Han kunne dog <strong>in</strong>tet gøre ved Michael Gravgaards<br />

drømmetræf i det 84. m<strong>in</strong>ut. Reducer<strong>in</strong>gen gav<br />

Viborg lidt luft, men det havde været aldeles<br />

ufortjent, hvis den sidste satsn<strong>in</strong>g havde givet et<br />

jysk po<strong>in</strong>t.<br />

Samlet tilberedn<strong>in</strong>gstid 1 time.<br />

For 4 portioner bruges:<br />

12 skiver fersk eller letsaltet, magert<br />

flæsk<br />

2 store løg<br />

3/4-1 kg æbler<br />

1 kvist timian<br />

sukker efter smag, ca. 1 spsk.<br />

TILBEHØR: Groft rugbrød, sennep.<br />

Steg flæsket ved ikke for stærk varme på<br />

en tykbundet pande. Hæld det afsmeltede<br />

fedt af flere gange, så flæsket kan blive<br />

rigtig sprødt. Stegetid afhængig af<br />

tykkelse, fra 15-30 m<strong>in</strong>utter.<br />

Tag flæsket af panden og læg det på fedtsugende<br />

papir. Hold flæsket varmt.<br />

Skær løgene i meget tynde skiver, og rist<br />

dem klare og let gyldne i lidt af det afsmeltede<br />

fedt. Drys løgene med salt og<br />

hold dem varme. Skræl kun æblerne, hvis<br />

det er nødvendigt. Skær dem i både og<br />

fjern kernehuset. Steg æblerne i lidt af det<br />

afsmeltede fedt, ved ikke for stærk varme.<br />

De må helst ikke gå i stykker under steg<br />

n<strong>in</strong>gen. Rib timiankvisten for blade og<br />

drys dem over under stegn<strong>in</strong>g. Drys også<br />

lidt sukker over efter smag og æblernes<br />

surhedsgrad.<br />

Krydret æbleflæsk<br />

SERVERING: Anret flæsket på et varmt fad eller en pande. Læg æblerne og løgene<br />

ved siden af. Giv groft rugbrød og en god sennep til æbleflæsket<br />

VARIATIONER AF ÆBLEFLÆSK<br />

1. Anvend pigeonæbler ved juletid. De giver en meget pikant smag.<br />

2. Timian kan udelades ved æbleflæsk<br />

3. Steg håndskårne skiver bacon i stedet for fersk eller saltet flæsk.<br />

4. Drys æblerne med puddersukker i stedet for alm<strong>in</strong>delig sukker.<br />

OVNSTEGT FLÆSK: Flæsket lægges i bradepanden. Bradepanden sættes i ovnen<br />

ved 225°C. og steges <strong>in</strong>dtil flæsket er gennemstegt og gyldent, 20-30 m<strong>in</strong>utter, hæld<br />

fedtet fra bradepanden et par gange under stegn<strong>in</strong>gen. Lad flæsket ligge på<br />

fedtsugende papir, <strong>in</strong>den det anrettes.<br />

Maren og jens havde sølvbryllup, og der var telt<br />

i gården med spisn<strong>in</strong>g og taler i lange baner.<br />

<strong>Den</strong> sidste taler var Jens, og hans tale var kort: -<br />

Dæe æ <strong>in</strong>gen dæe ved, hwa løkk æ, faer han æ<br />

bløwwn gywt!<br />

Ud på aftenen, da de var kommet til at spille<br />

kort, var der en af naboerne, der tog talen op til<br />

diskussion. Han vidste nemlig udmærket godt, at<br />

Jens var hårdt gift, så derfor spurgte han ham,<br />

om han virkelig ville stå ved det, han havde sagt<br />

ved middagen.<br />

- jow, sagde Jens, de stoer a ve - dæe æ <strong>in</strong>gen<br />

New Music <strong>Club</strong> to Open<br />

<strong>The</strong> Aussie Music club is about to open its doors, provid<strong>in</strong>g what they<br />

believe is the only non profit club <strong>in</strong> <strong>Brisbane</strong> present<strong>in</strong>g 100% Live Music.<br />

President Warren Trout says “<strong>The</strong> majority of clubs these days are more<br />

<strong>in</strong>terested <strong>in</strong> provid<strong>in</strong>g gambl<strong>in</strong>g facilities rather than good enterta<strong>in</strong>ment.<br />

Sequenced music, drum mach<strong>in</strong>es and canned music have replaced talented<br />

musicians who strive to make a liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> an age where technology has taken<br />

over. We wish to provide a club that will give the public of <strong>Brisbane</strong> and the<br />

musicians a venue to see or perform various styles of music. We also wish<br />

to create a friendly club with a great atmosphere and promote as much<br />

local talent as possible as well as featur<strong>in</strong>g tour<strong>in</strong>g artistes.”<br />

This non for profit club, will run a Saturday program for 12 to 17 year olds<br />

<strong>The</strong> program will give the opportunity for all young people <strong>in</strong>terested <strong>in</strong><br />

music to meet with others, form groups or bands, attend different workshops,<br />

and socialise <strong>in</strong> a supervised environment. <strong>The</strong> program runs every Sat<br />

morn<strong>in</strong>g from 10am to 4pm and costs only $10.00 per person or $15.00 per<br />

family.<br />

Our first meet<strong>in</strong>g will be at 36 Aust<strong>in</strong> St Newstead 15th March at 10am. (All<br />

are welcome)<br />

<strong>The</strong> club deeply appreciates the assistance it has received from <strong>The</strong> <strong>Danish</strong><br />

Assc. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Danish</strong> <strong>Club</strong> premises have given the Aussie Music <strong>Club</strong> the venue<br />

it needs to provide its members with a host of Activities and performances.<br />

We are keep<strong>in</strong>g a open m<strong>in</strong>d as to styles and types of music we will be<br />

featur<strong>in</strong>g Friday & Sat nights, however <strong>in</strong>itially we have dedicated Sundays<br />

from 4pm to 10pm to <strong>Brisbane</strong>’s Best Bands. This will also be a mixed bag<br />

i.e. Bigbands Jazz/Funk, Traditional, Soul, etc. In conjunction with the<br />

<strong>Danish</strong> club we also offer light meals, licensed bar and the venue is fully airconditioned<br />

Please see our website www.Aussie.cd for upcom<strong>in</strong>g events and<br />

programs<br />

For further <strong>in</strong>formation please phone Warren Trout on 3849 3600<br />
