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 />
Børge Skibby received birthday cake with<br />
a candle and the s<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g of Happy<br />
Birthday and for the new Honorary<br />
Member and birthday boy the s<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g of<br />
"de skal leve højt HURRA!!"<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 />

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 />

<strong>in</strong>dicate a particularly special venue the<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 />
