(The Western Suburbs Haven Inc, Supporting People Living With HIV & AIDS In Western Sydney) Ph: 9672-3600 Or www.thewesternsuburbshaven.com.au is a Registered Charity No.16069 we would like to say a big thank you to you all, especially our sponsor Tim for Acacia’s Catering And Matt From ACON, Sydney Star Observer.

Hello All, Firstly we would like to say a big thank you to you all, especially our sponsor Tim for Acacia’s Catering for supporting us over the last few months as we tried and tried to find a new venue…

Well the EXCELLENT NEWS is that we have found a fabulous venue – the Northmead Bowling Club. The club has been extremely supportive throughout the negotiations, and the venue itself is a corker with it’s very own function room entrance, bar, stage and separate toilets!

Please check out our website at www.heavensocialdance.com for all the details. We will be starting on Saturday 7th February 2009, and running every second month. We will feature two MEGA CAMP shows at 10.30pm and 12.00am with the all new ‘Westy Divas’, and the cover charge will be dropping to $7 before 10pm and $10 after 10pm.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family all the very best over the Christmas season.

We hope that you ring in the new year with lots of GLBT style, and we can’t wait to see you all at our launch in 2009!

Warmest wishes, Beverly Buttercup & Gracie Lou Heaven Social Group

Hello All,

In our last ‘News Flash’ we were pleased to let you know that we had locked in a new venue – the Parramatta Golf Club – with verbal confirmation from the Club Manager that we could start on January 31st, 2009 with a set function fee. Following our advertising, new fliers and media releases confirming our move to the Parramatta Golf Club, the Club have now advised Heaven Social Group, that all new events commencing post 01/01/09 will now be charged a $500 function fee per booking plus the cost of two security guards (approximately $250 each), making the booking a total of over $1000! This is not only three (3) times the original verbally agreed function fee for the venue, but also a further $500 for security guards. We will therefore no longer be relocating to the Parramatta Golf Club. How kind however the Club will not be imposing these new costs for the all girls night dolphins, as it is an already established night. We have informed the Club (again) that Heaven Social Group is a non profit group that fundraisers for charity, and we simply cannot afford these costs. The Club Manager advised that the Board was already aware of this, and that the new fees would not be reduced. It is very disheartening that a Club that has made tens of thousands of dollars off the GLBT community through Castaways and Dolphins for over 11 years, is now taking this attitude. Personally, I am so disgusted that they are not prepared to stand by their verbal commitment to our Group, that I have advised Rita who runs Dolphins at the Parramatta Golf Club, that I will not be returning to the Club to perform, as I will not support a Club that will not support the GLBT community in its entirety. As we believe Heaven Social Group is an integral part of the outer western Sydney GLBT scene, and the only night left that actively fundraisers for charities, our fight for a new venue is not over.

Following the devastating news from the Parramatta Golf Club, we have started looking for another alternate venue, and there is light at the end of the tunnel. We will keep you informed of our progress, and still hope to launch on January 31st, 2009! In the meantime – it is time to stand up for yourself as a GLBT member, and choose to support those who support the GLBT community.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported Heaven, including the Sydney Star Observer, The Western Suburbs Haven, Matt Vaughan from ACON, Tim from Acacia’s Catering and everyone else for their kind words of support. All future letters of support can be send to mail@starobserver.com.au and cc in heavenparramatta@hotmail.com

We wish you all well, and we look forward to bringing back Heaven in the New Year.

Kindest regards, Beverly Buttercup & Gracie Lou
