POZDRAV OD ODBORA S.D.M. 1993-1994
Lansko finančno leto je za nami in to, po mojem mišljenju, zelo hitro, tudi za lansko-letni odbor, ki je bil istega mišljenja. To pa zato, ker smo bili v društvu zelo zaposleni, enako bi se lahko tudi potožil, da nam je celo primanjkovalo časa.
Vi, zvesti bralci in člani S.D.M., kateri ste se udeležili letnega sestanka (skupščine), dobro veste in se spominjate poročil odbornikov, ki so poročali o aktivnem in zadovoljnem letu, za kar se moram tudi jaz zahvaliti vam člani in članice, za zaupanje in podporo, katero ste nam nudili skozi vse leto, saj brez vas ne bi bilo mogoče do uspešnega zaključka.
Na avgustovi skupščini smo na žalost izgubili par odbornikov, ki so trdili da so si zaslužili odmor in da dajo še drugim možnost sodelovati pri vodstvu društva. Na nekakšen način se strinjam z njihovim mišljenjem in njihovo poslovitvijo od odbora, toda so mi zagotovili, da bodo še vedno priskočili na pomoč in bodo še vedno aktivni člani S.D.M.
Nov odbor z njihovimi funkcijami za leto 1993-94 je priložen v tej številki Vestnika.
Zelo sem bil vesel, ko sem videl tako število članov na letnem sestanku in da ste tako mišleno zbrali nov odbor, ki izgleda zelo močan in upam, da bo tak tudi ostal, saj imamo pred nami zelo zahtevno leto. To sem vam že sporočil po SBS radiu 3EA, še več pa vam bom sporočil v naslednjem izvodu Vestnika, z upanjem in željo, da nam boste priskočili na pomoč. Na takšen način in skupnem sodelovanju, bomo uspešni. (V slogi je moč!)

39. LETNA SKUPŠČINA S.D.M.
Zakaj prispeti na skupščino ob najavljeni uri, če bodo počakali? In zakaj ne bi počakali, saj se nikamor ne mudi m nikdor ne piše zaslužne ure. Na koncu dogodka - vsem enaka
plača.	.
Bila je ura za začetek skupščine, toda zaradi malo številčne prisotnosti, skupščina ni sklepčna. Da ne bo zadrege je tteba delovati uradno kot predpisujejo društvena pravila. Sledi napetost, nestrpnost in skrb. Bo to skupščina ali bo potrebno sklicati drugo združenje? Še nekaj ljudi stopi skozi vrata. Odgovorni odborniki, kot da niso vedeli, koliko ljudi so zadnjič našteli, ponovno štejejo z željo, da vsak eden, bo štel vsaj dva. Kar iz nenada se skozi vrata vsuje naval, da je skoraj zmanjkalo sedežev. Prijetno presenečeni, kot da se jim je odvalil kamen. Naznanijo, da je prisotnost polnomočna m še več. G. Beve, predsednik društvenega odbora, kot zmagovalec težke bitke, z nasmehom in zadoščenjem, prične z delom. Od tedaj naprej pa vse do konca, kot po želji, vse je teklo kot namazano. Brez vsake prazne diskusije ali nesmiselnega vprašanja, potekalo je, kakor še nikoli poprej. Izvoljeni vodja skupščine, g. Penca je imel krmilo položaja z vso spretnostjo, a trdno pod svojim vodstvom. Vprašanja in odgovori so bili jasni in jedernati. S prijetnim občutkom gledaš in poslušaš npr.: mlada in zvesta odbornica z prijetno nasmejanim obrazom pogumno podaja finančno poročilo. Pa druga zopet, ki je skrbela za "Vestnik", balinanja in vse kar je bilo potrebno za obratovanje društva, s polnim pogumom brez oklevanja povedo po svoje. Samo iskreni in zavedni Slovenci lahko tako odprto podajajo letni obračun, ker nimajo nič skrivati. To isto velja za vse ostale v odboru, da ne bom vse našteval, a je vredno omeniti in to imensko go. Lynne Beve, rojeno avstralko, vedno na razpolago brez izjeme za vsako delo, bodisi nakupovanje in nabava za kuhinjo, nič nima proti tudi pri pomivanju loncev ali pomesti po tleh. Pri tem moram povdariti in izreči zasluge tudi sinu omenjene gospe a še posebno nevesti, ki je tudi rojena avstralka. Dela že veliko let, zadnje leto je bila tajnica S.D.M.
Pravi, da bo še delala, želi le malo presledka in odmora. To so karakterji, kateri so za vzgled nam vsem. Omenjenim ljudem smo dolžni vso hvaležnost. Niso nam nič dolžni, a se prizadevajo, da nam ustrežejo. Taka ista dolžnost nas je napram
njim in Avstraliji.
Duševno prijetno je gledati prizadevnost mladih odbornikov, katerih je kar šest pod trideset let starosti, odnosno, pet okoli 21 let. Pridni in navdušeni, zato jih bom imenoval: Boris m Nataša Špilar, Julie Krnel, Julija Čampelj, Rudi Plut in Vivienne Katsoulotos (Gomizel). Da je pretekli odbor društva dobro delal, je seveda največja zasluga bivšega in sedanjega predsednika g. Karla Bevca. Zasluga je seveda tudi vseh odbornikov, ki so odlično razumeli, ter ostali skoraj v celoti še kar naprej v odboru. Zakaj se ne bi zraven dal, ko lepo sodelujejo, vsak odbornik ima podporo svojega najbližjega. Se z večjim navdušenjem bomo šli naprej, ravno sedaj ko nas dolžijo, da nimamo smeri, češ smo razbiti itd. Krive obtožbe
nas združujejo!
S.D.M. je prvo slovensko socialno in kulturno društvo v _ Avstraliji zato ima edinstveni zgodovinski pomen v zgodovini Avstralije. Če je Avstralija stara komaj nekaj čez dvesto let, a Slovensko društvo, štirideset, pomeni da smo Slovenci petina dobe avstralske zgodovine. Zgoraj omenjena dežela nas je brez pogojno sprejela brez spraševanja o preteklosti, niti svetovanja za koga naj glasujemo le samo kot je France Prešeren napisal "Krst pri Savici": "Zvesto srce in delavno ročico" so od nas pričakovali, kar smo tudi v izobilju imeli.
Smo avstralski državljani in avstralski-Slovenci, kjer imamo pravice in dolžnosti. Stari domovini, Sloveniji dolgujemo ohranitev materinega jezika, socialno in kulturno ohranitev v
skladu z avstralsko kulturo in življenjem.	.

SDM NEWS ...
As you saw from the front page, SDM has a new Management Committee with many new faces. It is pleasing to see that so many youth (and oldies?) are willing to be actively involved with the club. On behalf of all SDM members, we would like to take this opportunity to thank the 1992/93 committee members for all their hard work, devotion and time. Many wonderful cultural and fun events took place in 1992/93 and we are hoping 1993/94, when we shall be celebrating our 40th Year Anniversary, will be even bigger.
►	Back to the news...Members have been rather busy over the last few months celebrating births, birthdays and weddings. As far as we know 2 babies were born in the month of August. Congratulations go to Andrea and Cyril Čampelj who had their third boy, Timothy, born on the 16th of August, and to Helen and Nie Brisevac who had their first child, Frank, born on the 18th of August. May Frank be the first of a whole clan of little Brisevacs. If there have been any other little additions to families born of members - Congratulations!
►	Some of our younger members of the club are showing their age by turning the "Big 21". Natasha Špilar turned 21 on the 18th September, and Geanette Urbančič on the 24th September. Geanette celebrated her birthday in a big way and Natasha's celebration is in a couple of weeks. I know that many people were looking forward to these events, and I am sure that they are still, even now, just recovering from one experience and looking forward to the next.
►	Happy "50th" Birthday to Tony Cvetko, who has just recently reached the "half-century"! Ivan Mohar also celebrated recently and is beating Tony by 10 years. Work that out for yourselves.
►	Karl Beve and Jože Urbančič attended the Council of Slovenian Associations (CSOV) meeting held in Albury last month. We are pleased to announce that our own Peter Mandel was re-elected President, and Jože Urbančič was elected Vice President. We wish them the best in their extremely challenging year ahead.
►	We were delighted to hear that on the 6th June 1993, Frank Fekonja and Daniela Bisicchia (pictured right) were married at St Brigid's Church, North Fitzroy. Following the ceremony, a reception was held at Oakville Receptions in Preston. Apparently the night was full of wonderful endless dancing, and some excellent speech making. We all wish you the very best in your future together.
►	Get well wishes to our Committee Member, Julie Krnel, who is recuperating after getting her tonsils removed. The fact that she can't even talk on the phone is a rough indication of how she feels and we hope that by the time she reads this Vestnik things will be back to normal and Telecom will be showing a profit again.
►	Sandra and Jana have agreed to help with the Vestnik, with the help of a new addition Viyienne Katsoulotos (Gomizel). However, we still need your assistance in making Vestnik an entertaining and informative newsletter. This can only be achieved if we receive regular input from the members of the club. So come on out there, we would love you to drop us in a line. Any articles written by members are much appreciated.
Remember the Vestnik box is in the foyer of the club, or you may contact us by telephone. Our phone numbers are advertised in the Vestnik (page 2). Please call us if you have any news or any suggestions - we even accept criticism - we are only "amateur volunteers" especially me, and we try to do our best.
This edition is quite a large one because there was a lot to report on and we did receive a lot of material. Thank you and keep sending us work! Please also let us know if you don't receive a Vestnik or if you have changed your address.
Vtvienne
V Sloveniji je 16. oktobra nenadno preminul Henrik Gomizel, brat Virgilija in Franca Gomizel. Obema bratoma in njihovima družinama, naše iskreno sožalje.
Naše iskreno sožalje tudi Mariji Kraner, kateri je umrl oče in Mariji Špilar, kateri je v Sloveniji preminula mama. Naše misli so z vami ob tem teškem času, ob izgubi vaših najdražjih.

PLAYGROUP
Well, I'm very happy to say that the SDM Playgroup is progressing very well. We have just completed Term 3 of our successful Playgroup. Everything seems to be running very smoothly and we are quite well organised.
The Playgroup meets every Monday and Wednesday between 10am - 12 noon. To date we have about 35 members (mums and dads) and all their, children. As well as the Club representatives, we also have a large number of members from the local community.
We have a lot of fun during these sessions. The children, which range in ages from babies to 5 year olds, have a lot of fun with all the play equipment provided (and the mums get a chance to have a coffee and chat with one another).
All in all, we enjoy coming to the sessions as it gives the children the opportunity to mix with others, do different activities which the mums prepare for them and they learn to play together.
As the year draws close to an end, we have arranged a day to have a "Mobile Animal Farm" attend the Playgroup. This will be held on Tuesday, 14 December, 1993, starting at 10am and finishing at 12 noon. We will be having snacks and drinks and we hope everyone can be there. Members are free of charge and for non-members there will be a small fee involved.
Before I forget, I would (that is, we all would) like to thank Mr Joe Urbančič for providing 2 great supply cupboards so that we can keep our craft supplies in an organised fashion. Thank you very much Uncle Joe. (Sorry for the nagging!!!)
And, lastly, should anyone else be interested in attending the Playgroup, please do not hesitate to contact Julie Fistrič on 434.2570 or alternatively you are very welcome to come and inspect the premises and see what we've achieved to date.
Mirka Kodila S.D.M. Playgroup
When you young mums come home from the Playgroup, here is a quick recipe that you can use to cook a "quickie" meal.
POTATOES AND
CHICKEN
In a large baking dish sprinkle lots of bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese. Season chicken fillets (or any other meats), toss into mixture and layer it on bottom of baking dish. Slice potatoes very thinly and layer them over the chicken.
Melt 3 tablespoons of butter (or add oil), 1 teaspoon of grain mustard, garlic, lots of chopped parsley and 2 tablespoons of worstershire sauce and H4 cup of water and pour over potatoes.
Bake in moderate oven until potatoes are brown!
No acceptance of responsibility taken if this recipe doesn't work - you've obviously done something wrong!
RESNICN/ VAŠ& SMEŠNIG
Na vasi je bila kmetija, po domače Baronovi, kjer je stari oče { imenu Jakob, po domače Jape. Nevesta Mima je očetu, ko je št skozi patron (dvoriščna vrata) ven na rahlo rekla: "oče ne povedati, da polnimo" (pomeni, da so pretakali vino), kar navadno privleče žejna grla.
Oče je bil zelo gluh, zato se niti ni zmenil. Ponovno in glasneji je nevesta Mima, zopet kot prvikrat, očeta posvarila. Takrat se oče malo ozre in zine: "AAH". Ko je Mima v tretje na ves gla zavpila, čas da ne povedati, da polnijo, je že pol vasi slišalo.
Sosed, čez cesto, vedno voljan obrniti kozarček črnega terana j svoji ženi Angeli veselo najavil, da gre k Banovim se sposodit grablje saj so njihove vse polomljene.

SLOVENIJA wfa,^ DANES... W^Tì
Letošnje slovensko poletje je privabilo v domače gnezdo veliko število lastovic iz vseh krajev sveta. Samostojna Slovenija je letos pozdravila v svoji sredi znatno število svojih sinov in hčera, ki do sedaj niso prestopili njenih meja že skoraj pol stoletja.
Med številnimi lastovicami je bila množica avstralskih Slovencev, ki so prihajali posamično ali skupinsko. Razpršeni smo bili po vseh krajih Slovenije in vsak po svoje doživljali domovino našega rojstva.
Našli smo veliko pozitivnih strani življenja, ki so in povezujejo spomine iz naše mladosti. Presenetil nas je dir Slovenije v Evropo, kar je pozitivno in neobhodno potrebno za preživetje te nove državice. Istočasno pa nas, ki živimo daleč od nje, zaskrblja misel pred poplavo te lepe zemljice naše. Vsepovsod bobni angleška glasba, napisi v trgovskih središčih in neonsko osvetljeni lokali in botiki, v angleščini vabijo tujce na ogled ponudbe.
Dobro se zavedamo tudi mi po svetu, da je z izgubo tržišča na jugu slovensko gospodarstvo prisiljeno čimprej zakorakati v svet. Kot državljani in davko plačevalci tujih/drugih držav si tudi ne moremo lastiti pravice da na daljavo koordiniramo življenje Sloveniji. Zato pa ji, in ljudem ki živijo doma čim iskrenejše želimo srečno na poti v Evropo in svet, vendar z prošnjo da skrbno ohrani identiteto narodnega zaklada.
Bogastvo njenih naravnih zakladov nudi Sloveniji odlično zagotovitev turističnega dohodka. Čudovite možnosti in naravno vabljive lege termalnih objektov so edinstvene v svetu, kot so tudi slovenske planine, jezera in omejena - vendar slikovita obala. Poleg tega se ta naša zemlja lahko kjerkoli predstavi z pridnostjo in sposobnostjo njenih ljudi. Znanost, tehnika in kreativnost, predvsem pa vstrajnost našega naroda se lahko vspostavlja z svetovnimi velikani. Poznani smo kot inovatorji, izumitelji, vstrajno delavni ljudje, ki tiho, vendar sigurno stopamo do ciljev. Da smo "quiet achivers" dokazujejo dejstva, malo število nas izseljencev in poglejte, primeijajte naše dosežke z veliko-številnimi narodi okrog nas. To dokazuje da smo lahko tudi složni in v nujnosti nepremagljivi, zakar smo dosegli najvišje - samostojno slovensko državo.
Dozoreli smo kot ljudje in narod. Minila je slovenska pomlad in jesenski sadovi bodo napolnili kleti. Kako lepo bi bilo med seboj deliti dobrote in ob toplem zimskem ognjišču pripovedovati našim vnučkom zgodbe, resnične pravljice o dobrih ljudeh, ki so delili med seboj košček kruha iz klasja katerega zrnje zaliva v ljubezni do nas vseh, mati Slovenija.
KOLIKO NAS ŠE ZNA SLOVENSKO?
Statistika včasih prikaže presenetljive in dostikrat nezaželjene številčne podatke.
V zadnjem popisu prebivalstva Avstralije, leta 1991, smo bili vprašani, kakšen jezik govorimo doma poleg angleščine. Uradni statistični podatki navajajo, da je v Melbournu doma govorilo slovensko 1,268 oseb, starih 5 let ali več, v Sydneyu pa samo 772 oseb.
Številčni podatki oseb, ki so navedle da govorijo slovensko v posameznih avstralskih pokrajinah, pa so naslednje:
Victoria	1,513
New South Wales	973
Queensland	122
South Australia	197
Western Australia	178
Tasmania	15
Northern Territory	13
Australian Capital Territory	104
Avstralija	3,115
Podatki, ki jih je posredoval .avstralski statistični urad, so brez dvoma porazni. Vsiljujejo vprašanje, zakaj je tako malo število ljudi bilo pripravljenih priznati, da govori slovensko?

HISTORY OF
S.D.M.
In preparation towards the 40th Anniversary of the Slovenian Association, many people believed it would be a good idea to outline the history of S.D.M., from its humble beginnings to its standing today. We hope to bring back many memories as well as give you a historical account of how S.D.M became the successful club it is today.
We intend to give you a countdown to the 40th Anniversary, giving you different pieces of information over the next editions of Vestnik. The first edition will include the beginnings and creation of the Association to the purchase of the land at Research. All information on the history of the club were obtained from Vestnik. At this point I would like to thank Virgil Gomizel who assisted in the translation and interpretation of the past Vestniks. We hope you enjoy going down memory lane.
It could be argued that the creation of S.D.M really began as early as the 5th of December 1954 when a group of people met at 36 Prentice St, East St Kilda at the house of the Pungercar family. Twenty-six people attended to discuss the idea of creating a Slovenian Association in Melbourne. At this meeting the group decided to invite fellow Slovenians and hold a meeting aimed at creating an Association and selecting a committee. And so began Slovensko Društvo Melbourne.
Officially S.D.M was established on the 19th of December 1954. Fifty-one people attended the meeting at St Albans Church Hall. Mr Zlatko Verbič organised the meeting. A committee was created comprising of Zlatko Verbič who was elected President, Marijan Peršič who became Vice President, and Jože Golenko who became the first Treasurer. However, at this time the Association did not have any real meeting place. Correspondence from and to the club, including membership payments, letters, etc changed from address to address, but finally found its home at Max Hartman's residence at 153 Essex St, Pascoe Vale.
Memberships were introduced at an assembly on the 19th of February 1956. Prices were 2 shillings a month for singles, 3 shillings a month for a famUy, or 1 pound yearly for singles, and thirty shillings yearly for families.
Even though the club really had no official residence from which to meet, many activities were nevertheless run. These mcluded picnics, plays, dances and a choir. The first Australian Slovenian choir began on the 11th September 1955 under the leadership of_ Mr Furlan from Geelong. Later he was replaced by Mr Trampuz, who died recently.
Picnics were always fun. Some locations where picnics were held included Mt Macedon, where 3 bus loads people went! Wandin East, HealesvUle, Eildon Dam and Mt Donna Buang just to name a few. These days would be fUled with singing games and of course, food. At the beginning of S.D.M. many different halls were used for our dances. TTiese included Kensington Town Hall, Prahran Town Hall, Sunshine Hall. One year we even had our New Year's Day in Melbourne Town Hall where we had two bands! Of course most of our dances had a theme. Most popular were the Masquerade dance, St Nicholas dance, Queen of the Hearts and Carnation Queen dances. Some tun dances were also successful including the "Šaljiva pošta' dance and one many might remember which was the prison dance. Many a person was bailed out of jail that night!
Plays and cultural events were also very entertaining and kept us informed of what was happening at home as well as in our new country.
Vestnik was first published on 1st of September 1955. Its editor was the late Edi Polajnar. Importantly, in the fourth edition (4/12/1955), it contained the S.D.M. Constitution. Vestnik received its letterhead in September 1957. From its shaky beginnings Vestnik has become an intrinsical part of the Slovenian Association.
During this time we strived to introduce our culture to other people.
In March 1956 in National costume, a Slovenian folklore group danced in Ballarat. Our history has shown that we have always been a part of the wider community. St Bridget's Hall was used for the culture nights, as well as for our many famous plays. Performed by many exceptional actors were plays such as "Deseti brat", "Županova Micka", "Stari grehi", "Razvalina življenja" and "Trije ptički". Unfortunately no famous careers were made from these events. Many of these events were successful and all monies made were to go to the club for future projects.
Soon the Association realised that they needed a headquarters to facilitate meetings and to organise Vestnik. It seemed pointless paying out our well earned money on hired halls. A subcommittee was formed to collect money for the purchase of a residence. The decision was made by members that 371A Park St, Princess Hill, Carlton was to be the official residence of S.D.M. Whilst saving for the purchase each member was given < box, that, when assembled, resembled a house. The purpose behind the house was that it was to be used as a money box. Members were supposed to fill it with change and when full, it was to be donated to the club. On the box was a logo which said: "Zrno pri zrnu pogača, kamen na kamnu palača".
"Slovenski Dom" in Carlton was purchased on the 1st of May 1960. Its official opening was on the 4th of September 1960. On the day of the opening, poems and prayers, and an arts exhibition, were organised. Father Basil made the official blessing. That afternoon people were served with coffee cakes and drinks. It was a new, more solid beginning. In Carlton, committee and administration meetings were held. It became th head office of Vestnik in January 1961.
During this time many cultural and social events continued. Broadmeadows Town Hall became the permanent location for oi dances. A new dance was introduced in 1964, Miss Slovenia. Miss Danila Bole (now Štolfa) became the first girl to proudly begin the honour of Miss Slovenia. We have seen some chang« to Miss Slovenia, eg, Mr Slovenia, but essentially the idea behir it, which is to promote Slovenian culture has contmued.
As time passed, however, it became obvious that the Associatic required a larger residence. Again a sub committe was formed find a suitable place. Many alternatives were discussed, but aft 3 months of discussion it was decided that Research was the ideal place to purchase. In March 1972 five hectares were purchased at Research at the cost of thiry thousand dollars. Th was to be the permanent home ground for S.D.M.
In the next Vestnik we will continue the history of S.D.M fron 1972 on. If you have any ideas on what you would like include please contact one of the Vestnik sub-committee members.

ZGODOVINA S.D.M.
Na pripravo 40. obletnice Slovenskega društva Melbourne, veliko ljudi verjame, da bi bilo pomembno omeniti zgodovino S.D.M., vse od preprostega začetka, do danes. Upamo, da vam bomo obudili marsikateri spomin, ravno tako pa podali poročilo kako je S.D.M. postalo tako uspešno kot je danes.
Vse do proznovanja 40. obletnice S.D.M. nameravamo v naslednjih Vestnikih podati različne informacije. V prvi izdaji boste zasledili zgodovinske informacije od ustanovitve društva pa do nakupa zemljišča v Research.
Začetek S.D.M. se je pričel 5. decembra 1954, ko se je skupina ljudi zbrala na naslovu 36 Prentice St., East St. Kilda, na domu družine Pungercar. Zbralo se 26 ljudi, da se pomenijo o ideji, da bi ustanovili slovensko društvo v Melbourne-u. Na tem sestanku je skupina odločila, da se povabi še ostale Slovence in se skliče sestanek na katerem naj bi ustanovili društvo in zbrali odbor. Tako se je rodilo Slovensko društvo Melbourne.
S.D.M. je bilo uradno ustanovljeno 19. decembra 1954.
Sestanka v St. Albans Church Hall, katerega je organiziral Zlatko Verbič, se je udeležilo 51 ljudi. Ustanovljen je bil odbor katerega so sestavljali: predsednik - Zlatko Verbič, Marijan Peršič - pod predsednik in Jože Golenko, ki je postal prvi blagajnik.
Društvo takrat ni imelo nobenih prostorov za sestanke, zato je vsa korespondenca iz kluba in do kluba prihajala na razne naslove in končno našla svoj dom pri Maksu Hartmanu na 153 Essex St., Pascoe Vale.
Članarina je bila predlagana na zborovanju 19. februarja 1956. Cene so bile: 2 šilinga na mesec za samce, 3 šilinge na mesec za družine in 1 pound letno za samce in 30 šilingov letno za družine.
Kljub temu da društvo ni imelo uradnega prostora, od koder bi vodili sestanke, je bilo v poteku mnogo funkcij. Nekatere od teh so bili pikniki, igre, plesi in pevski zbor. Prvi slovensko-australski pevski zbor se je pričel 11.septembra 1955 pod vodstvom gospoda Furlana iz Geelonga, kasneje pa ga je zamenjal, sedaj pokojni, g. Trampuž.
Pikniki so vedno bili popularni in zabavni, naj omenimo nekatere lokacije kjer so se vršili: Mt Macedon, Kjer so se ga udeležili 3. polni avtobusi ljudi, Wandin East, Healsville, Eildon Dam in Mt.Donna Buang. Na teh piknikih je bilo veliko petja, iger in seveda hrane! Na začetku S.D.M., je bilo za plese najetih veliko različnih dvoran. Nekatere teh so bile: Kensington Town Hall, Prahran Town Hall, in Sunshine Town Hall. Eno leto se je Novo letni ples celo vršil v Melbourne Town Hall, kjer smo imeli kar dva plesna orkestra. Seveda so skoraj vsi plesi imeli temo, nekateri najbolj popularni so bili: maškaradni ples, Miklavže vanje, kraljica srčkov in kraljica nageljčkov. Nekateri bolj šaljivi in zelo uspešni plesi pa so bili "Šaljiva pošta" in eden, katerega se boste morda še spomnili je bil zporniški ples. Veliko ljudi je moralo na tem plesu jamčiti za svoje prijatelje. Igre in kulturni večeri so bili zabavljivi in so nas seznanjali in povezovali z dogodki doma in v naši novi domovini.
Vestnikova prva publikacija je izšla l.septembra 1955. Njegov urednik je bil Edi Polajnar, sedaj že pokojni. Pomembno je omeniti, daje Vestnik v svoji 4. publikaciji (4.12.1955), vseboval pravila S.D.M. Vestnik je svoj naslovni logo dobil septembra 1957. Od svojega nezanesljivega začetka je Vestnik postal resničen del slovenskega društva. V tem času je poskušal predstaviti našo kulturo drugim ljudem.
Marca 1956 je slovenska folklorna skupina v Ballarat-u plesala v narodnih nošah. Naša zgodovina nam pokaže, da smo del, ter da smo vedno prisotni v širših krogih naše skupnosti. Kulturni večeri so bili prirejeni v dvorani cerkve, St.Bridget, kakor tudi številne slavne igre, kot: Deseti brat, Županova Micka, Stari grehi, Razvalina življenja in Trije ptički, ki so jih odigrali izjemno sposobni igralci. Na žalost pa ni nobeden teh igralcev postal zelo slaven in si s tem pridobil igralsko kariero. Vsekakor pa so vse te prireditve bile zelo uspešne in ves dobiček je šel proti nadaljnim projektom kluba.
Kmalu je društvo spoznalo, da potrebuje centralo, kjer naj bi se vršili sestanki in od koder bi izhajal Vestnik. Zdelo se je nepotrebno, da bi težko zaslužen denar potrošili za najem dvoran, zato se je osnoval pod-odbor, ki naj bi zbral denar za nakup bivališča. Odločili so se da naj bi hiša v 371A Park St. Princess Hill, Carlton bila uradna residenca S.D.M. Medtem ko se je zbiral denar, je vsakemu članu bila dana hranilnica (šparovček), kateri, ko je bil sestavljen je bil podoben hiši. Ko je bila hiša polna drobiža, naj bi vsoto darovali društvu. Logo na hranilnici pa se je glasilo: "Zrno pri zrnu pogača, kamen na kamnu palača."
"Slovenski dom", kot se je takrat imenoval, v Carlton-u je bil kupljen l.maja 1960. Uradno otvoritev smo proslavljali 4. septembra 1960. Na dan otvoritve je dom uradno blagoslovil pater Bazilij (glej sliko), prečitani so bili razni verzi in organizirana je bila likovna razstava. Popoldne se je razvijalo ob prijetnem kramljanju ob kavi in čaju, ter drugimi pijačami. S tem se je pričel bolj trden začetek. Odborniki so od tam vodili svoje sestanke in tudi Vestnik je dobil svojo pisarno januarja 1961. Ves čas so se mnoga kulturna in družabna srečanja nadaljevala, ter Broadmeadows Town Hall je postala stalna lokacija za plese. Nov ples pod naslovom "Miss Slovenija" je bil predstavljen leta 1964. Gdč. Danila Bole (sedaj Štolfa) je postala prvo dekle, ki naj bi ponosno nosila ime Miss Slovenije. Do sedaj so se zvrstili že. številni plesi z naslovom Miss Slovenije, pa tudi eden z naslovom Mr.Slovenija.
S časom je postalo jasno, da društvo potrebuje večje prostore. Zopet je bil ustanovljen pod-odbor, ki naj bi poiskal primerno lokacijo. Veliko različnih krajev je bilo predloženih, toda po 3 mesečnem iskanju in pogovarjanju je pod-odbor prišel do zaključka, da bo zemljišče v Research idealna lokacija za S.D.M. Marca 1972 je bilo v Research kupljenih 5 hektarov zemlje v znesku trideset (30) tisoč dolarjev. To naj bi bilo stalno prebivališče S.D.M.
V naslednjem Vestniku bomo nadaljevali zgodovino S.D.M. vse od kupčije zemljišča leta 1972. Ako imate kakšne ideje, kaj vse bi radi vključeno v zgodovino S.D.M., prosimo javite delavcem Vestnika.

SP^m SLOVENSKA ir^ CERKVICA
Cerkev Sv. Cirila in Metoda petindvajset letnico slavi. V bogati zoni, na to smo ponosni vsi. Vse delo prostovoljnih rok, razveseljuje cel slovenski krog.
Na mozaičnem oltarju Sv. Ciril in Metod, ki sta kazala krščanske vere pot. Imamo v slovenskem jeziku brano berilo, lepe besede srca razveselijo.
Slovenska beseda in pesem zveni, da radi pridemo k maši vsi. Pred cerkvijo radi s prijatelji govorimo, škoda, da daleč od cerkvice živimo.
Cerkvica mala, spomin na Slovence, bo na avstralskih tleh v bodoče ostala.

KAJ JE NOVEGA PRI LOVCIH?
Zopet je čas poročanja, starešina Tone Oberstar je obljubil uredništvu Vestnika, da bo tudi Lovska družina pripravila svoje četrtletno poročilo. Obljuba dela dolg, to je res, biti starešina ima pa tisto privilegio ki jo ima vsak "BOSS", da lahko zapove. Tone je zopet meni naročil naj nekaj napišem.
Drugo soboto v septembru, kot že običajno, smo priredili Lovsko veselico. To je bila že 16. veselica od ustanovitve L.D.R. Šestnajst let je dolga doba v našem življenju. Marsikaj se je spremenilo v teh letih, ali skupina ljudi ki jih združuje lep stari slovenski šport se še resno srečuje in deluje v okviru SDM. Na žalost moramo priznati, da tisto navdušenje ki je prevladovalo še pred nekaj leti je splahnelo, to je pokazal tudi obisk na zadnji veselici. Kljub temu, da je bila zabava skrbno pripravljena je bil obisk zelo slab. Tone Oberstar je organiziral skupino prvovrstnih kuharic z go. Marijo Cvetko na čelu, ki so pripravile izvrstno izbiro jedi, ga. Fekonja se je zopet izkazala s svojo izvrstno kislo juho. Srečolov je bil kot običajno pre bogat, saj je bilo preko 130 dobitkov. Dvorana okusno pripravljena v lovskem stilu. Vabila so bila poslana vsem članom društva enako je bila veselica tudi objavljena na obeh slovenskih radijskih oddajah. Kljub vsemu prizadevanju se je udeležilo le okrog 70 ljudi. Ne mislim iskati vzrokov zakaj. Naši rojaki teh tradicionalnih domačih prireditev ne obiskujejo, ker vem, da ima vsak svoj vzrok. Nekdo mi je rekel: "Veš stari postajamo", jaz sem na to odgovoril: "Kaj bo še ko bomo res stari, če smo že sedaj tako za nič".
Odbor Lovske in ribiške družine je na svoji zadnji seji sklenil, da bo to tradicionalno prireditev obdržal, vendar se bomo morali naslednje leto dosti bolj potruditi, vi dragi bralci se boste morali odzvati v večjem številu. Mogoče ne bi bilo neumno spremeniti našo veselico iz sobote zvečer na nedeljo popoldan in si tako zagotoviti boljši obisk.
Kljub dejstvu, da je bila veselica slabo obiskana moram pohvaliti in čestitati prisotnim za njihovo podporo, saj smo prodali srečk za $725, če od tega odračunamo ceno dobitkov je še ostalo $577 dobička. Celotni večer je prinesel preko $2000. Ce odvzamemo stroške predvidevam da je klub obogatil svojo blagajno za $500 - $600. Prisrčna zahvala v imenu odbora gre g. Cvetko, g. Fekonja in vsem ženskam, ki so pomagale ta večer in čez dan.
Zvezno tekmovanje v streljanju z zračno puško je že za nami. Predzadnje tekmovanje se je vršilo pri nas na hribu, kjer smo se kar dobro izkazali in dosegli drugo mesto in ostali le tri točke za mladimi Veselimi lovci iz St.Albansa. Na zadnjem tekmovanju v Geelongu smo se še posebno izkazali in zasedli prvo mesto in si tako prisvojili letni pokal S.L.Z.V.
Končni rezultat za sezono 1993 je bil naslednji:
►	S.D.M.	Prvo mesto z 801 točko
►	St. Albans	Drugo mesto z 778 točkami
►	Planica	Tretje mesto z 726 točkami
►	Geelong	Četrto mesto z 672 točkami
Zadnjič sem zapisal: "Če se naši strelci le malo potrudijo še lahko dobimo prvo mesto za letošnjo sezono". Prisvojili smo si letni pokal, vidite kaj malo resnega treninga pomeni. Jože Barat je imel popolnoma prav ko nas je kar naprej opominjal, sedaj imo mu lahko vsi skupaj hvaležni. Končno naj omenim še zadnji lov na koze v N.S.W. za konec idna 25. septembra. Udeležilo se ga je 14 čalnov. Vreme jim je ilo naklonjeno, divjih koz pa tudi baje ni manjkalo. Po poročilu \ojega obveščevalca je padlo kar 65 rogatcev, če odštejemo dve edrte auto gume, so se imeli kar dobro, saj jih je Maijan .točnik povsod spremljal s svojo "video" kamero. Jože Volčič je »nda eden naših najbolj strastnih lovcev. Ubogi Joško je bil na fem lovu zjutraj baje zelo razočaran, ker mu sreča ni bila
naklonjena, vsekakor ko se je vrnil iz popoldanskega pohoda je imel širok nasmeh na obrazu od enega ušesa do drugega, ko je izjavil: "Oštja, a sma jih!".
Srečno do prihodnjič, ko se bom zopet oglasil v imenu lovcev in ribičev.

DRAGI BALINARJI,
Spet je leto mimo, pa tudi leto pred nami. Kot vsako leto so v klubih zbrani odborniki, tako sem tudi jaz letos sam prevzel nalogo za balinarsko sekcijo S.D.M.
Za ogromna dela, ki so se opravila v minulem letu se moram zahvaliti vsem balinaijem in predstavniku balinarske sekcije, Mirotu Kastelicu, ravno tako tudi Sandri Krnelovi za vso pomoč, ki jo je nudila vse skozi preteklo leto, v upanju še za v naprej pri moji novi nalogi, kot načelnik balinaijev. Z vso mojo močjo bom v svoji nalogi skušal storiti karkoli bo potrebno v upanju, da mi bodo ob strani tudi druge pomoči, sloga, razumevanje ter spoštovanje, ker drugače se ničesar ne doseže.
V soboto 25. in nedeljo 26.septembra se je v najlepših odnosih vršilo dvo-dnevno klubsko balinanje v društvu "Snežnik" v Albury/ Wodonga. Na žalost so zmage tekem bile naklonjene boljšim športašem, saj so krogle za vse enako okrogle, le če boljše igraš, tekmo dobiš. Odboru društva se lepo zahvaljujem za postrežbo in vljudnost obeh dneh. Pa drugič kaj več!
