From the Editor
The new Club year
is off to a great start
with two new events
coming up and the
committee is busy
making plans for the
coming year.
Funding is always
an issue, but the
grant from the
Gambling
Community Benefit
Fund has inspired
the committee to
approach some of
the Danish
companies represented in Australia,
including Lego, B&O, SAS, Vestas,
Maersk, Nilfisk (just to name a few).
Let’s see if the Club can get some
support from them. If you have any
ideas or can help, talk to a committee
member. We may even be able to
apply for grant funding from Denmark
and spend it on Danish books and toys
or furniture for the Club. Speaking of
businesses, many of our members run
businesses and we’ll be introducing you
to them in coming issues of the
newsletter.

What’s on at the Danish Club?
Café Danmark 24 July 2009
from 6 pm
Try our tasty homemade ‘smorrebrod’: the menu varies from time to time, but you’ll often find
‘rullepølse’, fish wedges, pate, roast pork and ‘Esrom’ cheese. Or have a hot dog and get a drink in
the bar. The bar still offers genuine Carlsberg in cans imported direct from Denmark. There is also a
good variety of whites and reds.
It’s also an opportunity to buy delicious Danish pastries, specialty breads and organic biscuits direct
from Britt’s Danish Delights or order in advance. You can also order smallgoods and quality meats
from Flemming, the Danish butcher at Woolloongabba and pick up at the café.
Legestue Every Friday
Kids’ Play Group from 10-12
See contact details in the newsletter – give your children a chance to speak Danish and play with
other children in their age group.

Special Event from 6 pm

by the Danish Folkdance Group in conjunction with the Danish Club.

1800s. For those who are interested there will be a chance to do some participation dances.
Annual General Meeting 8 August 2009

Special Event 2 – 4 pm

Café Danmark 28 August 2009
from 6 pm

Project Roof
Thanks to a generous grant of
$8,140 from the Queensland
Gaming Commission we were able
to have our roof repaired and
treated. We hope that this marks
the end of our problems with water
damage and thanks to the heat
insulating qualities of the material
applied during the treatment
process, we should also notice a
drop in our electricity consumption
from running the airconditioning
system.
The company appointed for the
treatment was Advanced Asbestos
Coating and the coating has
extended the lifespan of the roof
plus improved insulating qualities,
and in general the condition of the
roof is sound, so well worth the
investment.
A warm thank you very much to
Queensland Gaming Commission
for the helping hand.
The difference is staggering! Photo: Søren Høimark

Cafe Danmark Friday 24 July 2009 6 pm
As usual, there are many things happening at Cafe Danmark: it’s an opportunity to meet old friends,
make new ones, taste Danish ‘smørrebrød’ a la Australia, sample genuine Carlsberg in the bar (or
how about a heart-stopping snaps), buy delicious Danish pastries and breads from Britts, browse
the library, pick up a t-shirt with a Danish motif and now you can even buy pickled herring!
Falkeskog Onion Herring or Anchovy Herring (630 g jars) in limited quantities for $9. We’ll buy
more if you want them!
Folk Dancer’s Special Event 31 July 2009 6 pm
Come along for a free evening of dancing and entertainment hosted by the Danish Folkdance Group

President’s Challenge
Let’s share our culture and traditions –
and the good food – with friends and
family. Encourage them to become
members of the Danish club and
we’ll reward you with a $20 voucher
for food and drink at Café Danmark.
5 new memberships in July was a good
start, but the president wants more.
Membership Renewal
Renewal letters for 2009/2010 have
been posted. At the July Cafe Danmark
a lucky member will win the special prize
for payment before 15 July 2009: a
$100 dining voucher for 2 Small
Rooms at Milton.
Remember that you have to pay your
membership to be entitled to vote at the
AGM.
Committee 2009/2010
Nominations for the committee are
due by 24 July and there are 3 vacancies
to fill. It would be great to have
members from all age groups and in
particular we need committee members
with young children to inspire input for
functions for youngsters. Any master
chefs or cooks out there, we also need
you on board. If you think it’s daunting
to organise a party for 40 people, come
and join us and you’ll quickly become an
expert. It’s good experience.

Danmark 28 August. The book is Stieg
Larsson: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Mærkedage
Der skal være guldbryllup i år! Her er en beskrivelse hentet fra Københavns Bibliotekers netsted:
Når man har været gift i 50 år, kan man fejre guldbryllup. Dagen fejres på samme måde som
ved sølvbryllup, men i mindre omfang og lavere tempo, da guldbrudeparret er blevet ældre og
omgangskredsen snævrere.
Også ved guldbryllup sættes der æresport op omkring døren. Æresporten er lavet af gran og
pyntet med årstidens blomster. Øverst sidder et skjold med guldbrudeparrets navne og årstal.
der viser, hvor længe de har været gift. Skjoldet er holdt i vinrødt og guld.
Guldbrudeparret vækkes af familie og venner med hornmusik og sang, men de får lov til at sove
lidt længere end ved deres sølvbryllup. Ligesom til sølvbrylluppet synges "I østen stiger solen
op" og "Det er så yndigt at følges ad", hvorefter gæsterne bydes ind på morgenbord.
Guldbryllupsfesten former sig omtrent som sølvbryllupsfesten, men er knap så løssluppen, og
den både starter og slutter lidt tidligere af hensyn til de ældre festdeltagere. Familien, som ofte
er vokset med flere generationer, tegner sig for den største del af gæsterne. Påklædningen er
almindeligt festtøj. Bordet er pyntet i dybrøde og gyldne farver som symbol på anseelse og værdighed.
Under middagen er der taler og lejlighedssange.
Hvis gaverne ikke er pakket ud på forhånd, gøres dette under kaffen. Da guldbrudepar som regel
har alt, hvad de har brug for, er gavebordet præget af ting, som de kan få glæde af i hverdagen.
Det kan være en rejse, tidsskriftabonnementer, teaterbilletter og lignende.
Efter kaffen spilles der op til dans, og guldbrudeparret åbner ballet med Niels W. Gades
brudevals, medens gæsterne slår kreds om dem og klapper takten. Kredsen gøres mindre og
mindre, indtil guldbrudeparret står helt tæt og kysser hinanden. Festen slutter efter natmaden.

Mecon-gruppen, ejer af Berlingske Media, der udgiver Berlingske Tidende, BT,
Weekendavisen og en lang række andre publikationer, er tæt på konkurs, forlyder det i
en artikel i Jyllands-Posten. Mecons administrerende direktør siger, at det er rent
opspind.
Danmark er Europas dyreste land: I 2008 lå de danske priser 41 procent højere
end gennemsnittet i de 27 EU-lande, de tre EU-kandidatlande Makedonien, Kroatien og
Tyrkiet, de fire Balkan-stater Albanien, Bosnien-Herzegovina, Montenegro og Serbien
samt de tre frihandelslande Norge, Schweiz og Island. Det viser tal fra Eurostat, der er
EUs statistiske kontor. Det billigste EU-land er Bulgarien, der ligger 49 procent under
EU-gennemsnittet. Eurostat har undersøgt priserne på 2500 varer med mere i de 37
lande i hele Europa. Og her ligger Makedonien i bund med priser, der er 53 procent
lavere end snittet i EU.
På pladserne efter Danmark følger Norge og Schweiz (der begge dog ikke er medlem af
EU), Irland, Finland, Island, Luxembourg, Sverige, Frankrig, Belgien og Italien. I
bunden ligger Makedonien, Bulgarien og Albanien. (DR 16. juli 2009)

Irish Logic
So Paddy asks Murphy: "Why do Scuba divers always fall backwards off their boats into the water?"
To which Murphy replies: "You thick shite - If they fell forwards,they'd still be in the friggin boat."
A very confident James Bond walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman.
He gives her a quick glance, then casually looks at his watch for a moment.
The woman notices this and asks, "Is your date running late?"
No," he replies, "Q has just given me this state-of-the-art watch. I was just testing it."
The intrigued woman says, "A state-of-the-art watch? What's so special about it?"
Bond explains, "It uses alpha waves to talk to me telepathically."
The lady says, "What's it telling you now?"
"Well, it says you're not wearing any knickers …"
The woman giggles and replies, "Well it must be broken because I am wearing knickers!"
Bond smirks, taps his watch and says, "Bloody thing's an hour fast."
A 10-year-old girl was walking home from school one day, when a big man on a black motorcycle pulls up
beside her. After following along for a while, the biker turned to her and asks, "Hey there little girl, do
you want to go for a ride?"
"NO!" said the little girl as she keeps on walking.
The biker again pulled up beside her and asks, "Hey little girl, I will give you $10 if you hop on the back."
"NO!" said the little girl as she hurried on down the street.
The biker pulled up beside the little girl again and said, "Okay kid, my last offer! I'll give you 20 bucks and
a big bag of candy if you will just hop on the back of my bike and we will go for a ride."
Finally, the little girl stopped, turned toward him and screamed out...
"Look Dad" "You're the one who bought the Honda instead of the Harley"! "YOU RIDE IT!"
Little Johnny was in the classroom bored to the back teeth on a Friday afternoon, and the teacher decided to have
a game for the kids to get them thinking.
'Okay class. Now I'm going to say a famous quote, and the first person to tell me who said that quote, can have
Monday off' said the teacher.
'Who is credited with writing the phrase 'To be or not to be, That is the question,' asked the teacher.
Little Pham Lam Nguyen at the front of the class called out, 'Shakespeare'.
'Well done!' said the teacher, 'You can have Monday off.
'No thank you Miss. I am of Vietnamese origin and it is in our culture to study as hard as we can, so I will be here
on Monday studying hard,' said Little Pham Lam Nguyen.
'Well okay,' said the teacher.
The next quote is, 'I had a dream! “ Little Fri Sum Kat also at the front yelled out 'I bereiva it was Martin Ruther
King!'
'Well done!' said the teacher. 'You can have Monday off' 'No thanka you miss. I am of
Chinese oligin and we also do not take time offa school. Education is evelything to us, so I will be in on Monday
studying hard too,' said little Fri Sum Kat. 'Okay,' said the teacher.
Then she heard a voice from the back of the classroom, 'F#^*ing > Asians!'
'Who said that?' yelled the teacher in an angry tone..
'Pauline Hanson!' yelled little Johnny. 'See ya Tuesday!!!!
Thanks to Erik Lindhardt for the laughs!

News from the Committee
The committee meets once a month and at our July meeting we discussed:
Hall Hire
Our new ‘for lease’ sign has gone up and we hope to get good tenants. No news from
our local councillor on the parking issue.
Annual General Meeting
The AGM will be held on Saturday 8 August 2009 at 1 pm – there will be free hot dogs,
coffee and pastries. The nomination form needs to be returned to the Secretary by 24
July 2009. We need more people on the committee – please join up if you are
interested in any aspect of the club’s work.
Grant Applications
Project Roof: The contractor was able to complete the job quickly and we can now
complete the acquittal documentation for the Gaming Commission shortly. We’re
expecting the Danish ambassador at the Store Kolde Bord in November and hope that
she will unveil the plaque. In the meantime, the Committee will press on with the next
application for a reconfiguration of the kitchen to comply with health and safety and new
energy-saving whitegoods. We’ll also do some research into Danish grants to see if we
can get funding for books (Gyldendal), toys (Lego), etc. We hope that Maersk can help
with freight costs.
Maintenance
Soren has talked to the other clubs using the facilities to ensure that the premises are
left in a clean condition. We’ll have a look at the verticals to see if they may be
salvaged or whether we should buy some ready-made curtains.
Events
The Store Kolde Bord was a good event and we’re looking forward to a couple of busy
months with Cafe Danmark and the Folk Dancers’ Special Event in July followed by the
AGM and the Dyrberg Kern fashion jewellery parade in August before Cafe Danmark.
Liquor License
One or more committee members will need to complete RSA training. Currently only
Henrik (and Jacqui) have been through RSA.
Money
The treasurer presented the June accounts, which showed a small deficit, as well as the
full year accounts showing a profit before capital expenditure of approx $5,000. Both
income and costs are down compared to last year, but the committee was comfortable
with the result. The annual accounts are now with the auditor.
Membership
5 new memberships in July – but the President wants more new members. Membership
renewal letters for 2009/2010 were mailed end of June and nearly half of the club’s
members have paid their membership fees so far. The prize for payment by 15 July
2009 will be drawn at Cafe Danmark on 24 July: dinner to the value of $100 at Two
Small Rooms at Milton.
Library
Two new RED bookcases have been set up - and filled. Roy will buy one more. There
are now two lounges and a table in our library, nearly all boxes with book donations
have been unpacked – now they just need to be sorted.

Det Store Kolde Bord 11 July 2009
After singing the national anthems (with
some technical difficulties), 60 members and
friends sat down at the beautifully set tables
(flowers from Tove’s Flowers at Alderley
Plaza) to sample a traditional Danish
smorgasbord starting with onion herring, red
herring and herring in a curry dressing.
And a cool Carlsberg beer and a snaps. The
herring was followed by smoked salmon,
‘rullepølse’, kasler ham, potato salad,
chicken salad, warm fish wedges with
remoulade, liver pate, meatballs, roast pork,
baked apple and bacon. And a snaps. Or a
glass of red. The cheese selection included
Esrom, brie and blue cheese. The menu
barely left room for coffee and the French
chocolate mousse cake, which still vanished
fairly quickly together with a rhubarb and
raspberry crumble. And a Gammel Dansk.
Numbers were up from previous events and
we had live music again. After the grownups
had twisted and turned on the dance
floor to popular tunes from the 50s through
to the 90s performed by Pete Fitzgerald, the
3 girls from Toowoomba took over the
dancing floor and put on a great show –
thank you very much to the Marcussen
family from Toowoomba.
Several members used the opportunity to
bring along their friends and introduce them
to the Danish concept of ‘smørrebrød’
downunder and all seemed to have a great
time and enjoy the food.
