Any material published does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Danish Club or the Editor.

From the EditorIt must be

Springtime in the Northern

hemisphere! Quite a few members

have already left to visit friends and

family in Denmark and will no doubt

return with wonderful stories of fresh beech forests, smoked heerings, St Hans fires and long evenings where the sun never seems to

go down. It’s amazing how Denmark always feels like ‘home’, although you may have left many years ago. The

club plays an important role by providing a venue where we can meet up with other Danes and enjoy our traditions,

whether it’s just speaking Danish, eating smørrebrød and snaps or enjoying Christmas baking. Make it a place

where friends meet.

Dear members

We have had another great year in ‘Heimdal’ celebrating and enjoying traditional events as well as venturing into new activities to generate and maintain interest in our club.

We are not about Danes outside Denmark trying to be as Danish as the Danish but more about appreciating the good things we remember and know of Denmark and Danish culture, and passing that on to the next generation.

It is great to see that the ‘Heimdal’ family includes everybody from our respected senior members having migrated under tough conditions in the 1950s and 60s – and some earlier (on steamships with a suitcase/toolbox) through to more recent migrants arriving later in the 20th century (on aircrafts and personal belongings in containers) through to younger members arriving 21st century-style (with a backpack, laptop and ipod).

Each of us has an opportunity to participate in the life of ‘Heimdal’, which has now been a great base and connection for Danes in Brisbane for a fair few years (almost 137 years), and what we get out of this relationship with other Danes through ‘Heimdal’ is entirely up to ourselves.

From a personal point of view I’m extremely happy with the opportunity my family has been given to meet a lot of great people through our engagement with the committee and club members and the support from individual members supporting events has also been very encouraging.

As with anything in life, it either develops or dies and fortunately ‘Heimdal’ has proved very resilient over the years and kept growing – but I really think we need to move ourselves forward with a giant leap.

We all have demands on our time and coming to Café Denmark – maybe not every month – and perhaps 3 or 4 events during the year is probably what most of us can manage.

We appreciate that and the only way current members of the club can best secure the basis of ‘Heimdal’ for the future is by encouraging more of the around 5000 Danes living here to join the club and remain an active part of integrating new members (we are currently around 150 families).

All good deeds deserve a reward and we have developed a special treat for every member introducing a new member to the club – a $20 voucher will allow you to enjoy food and drink at Café Denmark on the house once after the new member has been accepted (and paid up their fees, of course).

It doesn’t get better than this – have a good friend or contact join ‘Heimdal’ and enjoy the events we offer and get a free meal! Hurry – note there is a limit of 30 new members per existing member)

Pinse, Grundlovsdag og Valdemarsdag

Pinse kommer af græsk πεντηκοστή pentēkostḗ, der betyder "halvtredsindstyvende" (dag efter påske) og er en kristen højtid, der holdes årligt til minde om Helligåndens komme.

Ifølge beretningen i Apostlenes Gerninger kapitel 2 skete det ti dage efter Kristi himmelfart, at apostlene var samlet for at fejre den jødiske højtid Shavuot, da der pludselig kom "en lyd som af et kraftigt vindstød" og tunger som af ild kom til syne og sætter sig på hver af dem. De blev derefter fyldt af Helligånden og begyndte at "tale på andre tungemål", hvorved de kunne gøre det kristne budskab forståeligt for de jøder fra mange forskellige verdensdele, der var i Jerusalem -- denne episode kaldes normalt "pinseunderet". Pinsen regnes således traditionelt for den kristne kirkes fødsel.

Pinsekirken har taget navn efter netop denne begivenhed, fordi den i særlig grad blandt de kristne trossamfund vægtlægger tungetalen og de øvrige nådegaver, som Helligånden menes at udstyre de genfødte kristne med.

Pinsedag falder altid på den syvende søndag efter påske. Såvel pinsedag som den følgende dag, 2. pinsedag, er i Danmark helligdage. I 2009 falder 2. pinsedag mandag den 1. juni.

En gammel tradition foreskriver, at man pinsemorgen skulle gå ud af sit hus og feje ind mod døren, da man så ville samle lykke til huset resten af året.

Grundlovsdag er en årligt tilbagevendende fejring af indførelsen af den første danske grundlov den 5. juni 1849. Hvert år fejres dagen med især politiske taler rundt om i landet, da dagen ofte også ses som en fejring af det danske demokrati. Ledende politikere har via deres respektive organisationer foretrukne steder, hvor de traditionelt afleverer deres budskaber, der både handler om demokratiets principper og om aktuelle politiske problemstillinger. Danmark har ingen egentlig nationaldag (er det ikke trist?), men grundlovsdag er nok det nærmeste man kommer. Men i dag er det ikke længere en helligdag, og man har derfor ikke automatisk ret til at holde fri fra kl. 12.

Den 15. juni er det Valdemarsdag (indført 1912 ved Cirk.Nr.391 24/12 1912). Det var på denne dag i 1219, at Dannebrog ifølge myten faldt ned fra himmelen i Estland, hvor den danske konge Valdemar Sejr kæmpede med venderne og mod esterne i slaget ved Lyndanisse

Is your family story fading away? There is a lot of talk these days about preserving family history. This need derives from a deep longing that we have as human beings for identity. Great impact and meaning is created when all of the elements of interview, photos, old footage, ancestry and more are uniquely weaved together.

Reel Lives Australia is the life story video specialists that capture your story and the story of your family through a unique video life story interview process.

We would appreciate the opportunity to help you preserve your family story for generations to come. If there is sufficient interest from members of the Danish club, we can make a presentation at the club or you are welcome to contact us on 1300 723 795.

Storskrald: Omkring 100 skraldevogne omkranser idag Rådhuspladsen, og i midten står vrede skraldemænd fra skraldevirksomheden R98. De markerer deres utilfredshed med, at Københavns Kommunes miljø- og teknikudvalg har besluttet sig for, at det bliver en anden virksomhed end R98, der skal tage sig af affaldsopgaven i dele af København fra 1. november. Skraldemændene henter affald igen fra i morgen. (19. maj 2009)

A kindergarten pupil told his teacher he’d found a cat, but it was dead. “How do you know that the cat was dead?” she asked him. “Because I pissed in its ear and it didn’t move”, he answered innocently. “You did WHAT!!” exclaimed the teacher. “You know”, explained the boy, “I leaned over and went ‘Psst!” and it didn’t move.

One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm, a mother was tucking her son into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, “Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?” The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. “I cannot, dear,” she said. “I have to sleep in Daddy’s room.” A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice: “The big sissy”.

A little girl goes to the barber shop with her father. She stands next to the barber chair, while her dad gets his hair cut, eating a snack cake. The barber says to her, “Sweetheart, you’re gonna get hair on your Twinkie.” She says, “Yes, I know, and I’m gonna get boobs, too”.

It was that time, during the Sunday morning service, for the children’s sermon. All the children were invited to come forward. One little girl was wearing a particularly pretty dress and, as she sat down, the pastor leaned over and said, “That is a very pretty dress. Is it your Easter dress?” The little girl replied, directly into the pastor’s clip-on microphone, “Yes, and my Mom says it’s a b*tch to iron.”

One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part where Chicklen Little warns the farmer. She read, “... and Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, “The sky is falling!”. The teacher then asked the class, “And what do you think that the farmer said?” One little girl raised her hand and said, “I think he said: ‘Holy Sh*t! A talking chicken!” The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.

Thanks to Erik Lindhardt for the laughs!

News from the Committee

The committee usually meets once a month and at our May meeting we discussed:

Website

The Heimdal web site is looking better, but we would still like to know what you think about the site and what you think we need - contact Kim Tvede or Peter Hansen with your suggestions. It would be a good idea to be able to RSVP for functions via the website.

Hall Hire

No news from our local councillor on the parking issue. A ‘for lease’ sign will go up shortly once we have finalised the design.

Liquor license

Henrik has sourced new wine glasses with a plimsoll line and they are a vast improve-ment on the old ones. Look out for other innovations behind the bar and in the kitchen – the new bar fridge is looking marvellous and makes much less noise.

Annual General Meeting

The AGM will be held on Saturday 8 August 2009 and the nomination form will be in the June and July newsletters.

Grant Applications

No news on current grant applications – we’re still working on an application to fund an update of the kitchen and some applicances with modern energy-efficient models.

Maintenance

The oven is not operating satisfactorily and a service technician is working on the problem. The question of the child safety gate is still with the police.

Functions

The June function is Teddy Bear’s Birthday party and we are looking forward to seeing lots of children with their favourite teddy bears!

Money

The treasurer presented the April accounts, which showed a loss following the purchase of the bar fridge – and we had no function due to Easter. The May event was the Wine & Cheese evening, which was also non-profit.

Membership

The President will issue a challenge to all members to find a new member – wouldn’t it be great to see the club double in size! There will be a prize and a $20 reward to be used in the club for food and drinks for new members on acceptance and payment of their fee. The more we are together, the more we can achieve.

Multicultural Festival

No date from Brisbane City Council yet for this year’s event.

Annual General Meeting 2009Saturday 8 August 2009 at 1 pm

Are you a member of the local soccer club? Or maybe you grow orchids, play bridge, train dogs, and help out at the local hospital?

Then you’ll know that any association needs a constitution and a committee with at least a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer.

Who are they and where do they come from?

Well, they are members just like you, who have volunteered to keep the club running – at no personal gain. Some may always come up with great ideas, others are good at organising events and then there are all the special talents the club needs from time to time: somebody to change light bulbs, organise kitchen helpers, cook roast pork, fold paper napkins, arrange flowers, make remoulade and hot dogs – you know who you are!

As a member of the Danish club you are entitled to nominate for the committee and to elect the committee at the annual general meeting. This is really your chance to have a say in the running of the club. Nominate now for the committee and get to know the club better. The committee meets once a month.

Even if you’re not interested in the committee work, come to the annual general meeting and have your say.
