In May we re looking forward to seeing the play Kærestebreve the show in Brisbane is a result of our cooperation with DACE. Make sure you get to the club before Easter to secure some Easter eggs or other chocolates the big golden Anthon Berg box would make a nice gift for Mother s Day (if you can stop yourself from opening it).

7 Eskil Romme and Himmerland in Concert at the Danish Club Thursday 17 April 2014 It has been a year since Himmerland visited Australia and New Zealand on a 22 days long tour that included the National Folk Festival in Canberra. It was a huge success and a great experience, and ever since we have been wanting to go back to Australia. Now it is happening: Himmerland has been invited to perform at the FolkWorld Fairbridge Festival in West Australia from April In the festival program we are described as "adrenaline-infused Scandinavian roots music with an African heartbeat". On our way to Fairbridge we will also perform a few gigs in Brisbane and the Sydney area, one concert at the National Folk Festival in Canberra, and a couple of concerts in Melbourne. All in all we'll be touring Australia from the east to the west from April We are greatly looking forward to introducing the very new material we are working on right now, to a new audience.

9 Toms gennem tiden 2012 Toms Gruppen køber tyske Hanseatische Chokolade og dermed overtages de to brands Hachez og Feodora. Toms Gruppen opretter Toms Polska og etablerer et pakkeri i Leszno i Polen Toms opnår fuld sporbarhed på import af kakao fra tre udvalgte distrikter i Ghana. Det vil sige, at Toms nu har fuld kontrol over, hvor den enkelte kakaobønne kommer fra. Dette hænger sammen med Toms tiltag på CSRfronten, hvor man fokuserer på at forbedre kakaofarmernes forhold og vilkår A XOCO butik åbner på Gl. Kongevej Dansk Chokoladegastronomi. Hvert eneste stykke A XOCO chokolade er fremstillet af vores egne eksperter. Vi håndterer alle dele i processen fra kakaobønne til råchokolade, hvilket giver os fuld kontrol over hvert eneste smagsfremmende trin i chokoladefremstillingen. A XOCO by Anthon Berg kræser for smagsoplevelsen og inviterer dig ind i chokolade-gastronomiens enestående verden Toms etablerer Anthon Berg Inc. i USA Toms lancerer en række af sine kendte produkter i en sukkerfri udgave med mellem 15 og 30% færre kalorier og er derved først på markedet med både lys og mørk sukkerfri pålægschokolade. Endvidere lanceres en sukkerfri variant af den klassiske mørke Guld Barre og flere populære Pingvin lakrids og vingummiprodukter. Samme år forener Toms to af Danmarks klassikere: Olsen Banden og Guld Barre ved at introducerer Tomsen Banden på TV. Guld Barre vil for første gang i historien fremtræde med fyld Helt i Victor B. Strands ånd bryder Toms alle branding-lærebøger med reklameuniverset "Familien Tomsen", der går sin sejrsgang over de danske fjernsynsskærme og skaber fornyet opmærksomhed omkring Toms originale produkter. Samme år erhverves AB Webers Konfektureindustri i Habo, Sverige, der producerer sukkervarer og især er kendt for sin "Ferrari-bil" Toms frasælger Tørsleff som led i en ny strategi med fokus på chokolade og sukkerkonfekture. Toms køber BONBON i Holme-Olstrup, og dermed også BOGØ

10 Chokolade. Toms Gruppen køber Englands største uafhængige producent af vingummi, Parr s Quality Confectionery Company Administrationsbygningen udsmykkes med mosaikkunst af Lin Utzon. Toms sælger fabriksbygningerne på Lyngbyvej og flytter produktionen til Avedøre Holme Toms overtager Liverpool-firmaet Taverner s, som er specialist i drops, karameller og skumprodukter af bedste engelske kvalitet Toms modtager en fornem international pris:»the Candy Kettle«. 40% af produktionen går til eksport Den 16. september afgår Victor B. Strand ved døden Den 7. maj modtager Toms»Kong Frederik den Niendes Hæderspris«for fortjenstfuld indsats for dansk eksport. Prisen overrækkes af Prins Henrik Toms har 50 års jubilæum og skænker medarbejderne kr., som sættes i en jubilæumsfond. Gerda og Victor B. Strands fond oprettes for at sikre virksomhedens fremtidige udvikling på en sund økonomisk basis Koncernen overtager Galle & Jessen, Danmarks ældste chokoladefabrik Besøgsafdelingen bliver etableret og har siden modtaget mere end en halv million gæster Den nyopførte fabrik i Ballerup - tegnet af Arne Jacobsen - tages i brug i en km² stor fabrikshal og en km² stor administrationsbygning på en grund på 22 hektar. Høeghs Lakrids opkøbes af Tørsleff og indlemmes i koncernen, hvor den hurtigt omdøbes til Pingvin Lakrids Københavns Rådhus og Frederiksberg Rådhus smykkes med Toms Guld Barrereklame til fordel for Flygtningehjælpen. Toms Guld Barre sponsorerer Top-10-listen på Radio Mercur.

11 1958 Toms forventer vokseværk i de kommende år og erhverver en byggegrund i Ballerup. Guld Barre-løbet i speedway på Charlottenlund Travbane etableres med stor succes og presseomtale Danskerne præsenteres for den første TV-reklame ved fjernsynets indsamling til fordel for Ungarn. Naturligvis er Toms med, og Tivoligarden præsenterer Guld Barren for fuld musik Toms i Sverige etableres med eget lager og salgsorganisation. Victor B. Strand er på opkøb og erhverver virksomhederne Anthon Berg i Teglværksgade (1954), Helvetia i Rådmandsgade (1954), Reichardt på Nygårdsvej (1955) og Østrup-Jeppesen på Rentemestervej (1955). Anthon Berg fortsætter med at producere på Østerbro, de øvrige datterselskabers produktion henlægges til Prags Boulevard. Reichardt og Helvetia bliver til en salgsafdeling Virksomheden beskæftiger nu 150 medarbejdere. Som det første firma går Toms på gaden med sporvognsreklame. Linie 1 kører rundt med en lysreklame på taget for cremehunden Bonzo I marts ophæves rationeringen, og Toms er på gaden med et færdigsyet sortiment. For sent opdager konkurrenterne, at de er sejlet agterud på grund af for lang passivitet Toms bliver tildelt prædikatet "Leverandør til Det Kongelige Danske Hof" Der indføres chokoladerationering. For at strække kakaobønnerne mest muligt anvendes chokoladen kun til overtræk. Derfor bliver det forskellige cremevarer, der skal prøve at tilfredsstille befolkningens lækkersult Gennem en eksportordre til de amerikanske styrker i Tyskland opnår Toms en tildeling af kakaobønner. Ordren bevirker, at Toms udvikler Yankie Bar Trods nedgang i produktionen ansætter man A.N. Neergaard som administrerende og teknisk direktør. Hans hovedopgave er at modernisere og reetablere maskinparken. En klog disposition der bevirker, at virksomheden er klar til at producere den dag, det igen er til at få råvarer På grund af 2. Verdenskrig er kakaobønnerne sluppet op. Toms prøver at fortsætte produktionen med erstatningsprodukter. Omsætningen nærmer sig et nulpunkt.

12 1942 Victor B. Strand - med Tørsleff i ryggen - overtager Toms Pålægschokoladen ser dagens lys og bliver i begyndelsen solgt via slagtere og viktualiehandlere. I 1938 begynder produktionen af Guld Barre Toms får et par store kunder inden for skibsproviantering samt Daells Varehus. Desuden åbner man egne butikker og får en aftale med DSB om forpagtning af kioskerne på Hovedbanen og Nørreport Station Toms begynder produktion af egne produkter på Prags Boulevard på Amager. Sortimentet er mest bolsjer, karameller og tyggegummi. Det er svært at opnå anerkendelse blandt købmænd og konfekturehandlere. Derfor må man tage til takke med små ordrer hos bagere og ismejerier, som de»fine«fabrikanter ude på Østerbro ikke gider beskæftige sig med. For at overleve opsætter firmaet en masse automater, hvor varerne kan trækkes for 10 eller 25 øre Apotekerne Hans Trojel og V. H. Meyer stifter Toms Chokoladefabrik. Tom dannes af sammensætningen af deres efternavne T og M. Firmaet fungerer som grossist med salg af andre fabrikkers produkter. (kilde:

15 Easter Eggs Some of us on the committee (I won t name names) cannot help drooling when we think about marcipan eggs, plum in madeira chocolates, old-fashioned Toms Guldbarre or even pålægschokolade thin slices of chocolate that you eat on rye or white or buns. And we thought it would be a great idea to have a selection of Easter eggs and other chocolates airfreighted to us. Now they ve arrived the price list is attached separately. Come and get your Easter treats at Café Danmark or at the special pickup day on 16 April For Easter decorations, we also have decorated paper eggs, chenille chicks and little painted timber eggs (see photos on the front page and inside) they are certainly cute.

16 Project New Kitchen As you all know, we regularly apply to the Gambling Community Benefit Fund (GCBF) run by Queensland Government to re-distribute part of the revenue from gambling activities in Queensland back into the community for funding of various activities, and we were elated when the grant amount of $32,250 was unexpectedly deposited into the club account in January. The grant covers new appliances including fridge, dishwasher and oven and building works such as tiling, stainless steel bench tops, sink and new cupboards. Since then the committee has thought long and hard about how to obtain the best result for our kitchen and reviewed and rehashed plans: Monday 10 March the committee volunteer team of Alan, Lone, Soren and Henning commenced work by demolishing the wall between the existing kitchen and the adjoining kids room with the purpose of adding a 3 x 4 m section to the kitchen. The photos show the highlights of day 1 and 2. Alan has a builder s certificate and knew exactly how to go about removing the existing wall and floor, so after less than two weeks, we have the kitchen expansion in place with walls, ceiling, tiling, lighting/power, stove/oven re-located and just waiting for the kitchen benches and tops to be completed and installed. The play room is almost back in order with only the walls needing plastering and painting, but the large storage unit has been expertly reassembled by Alan s son Rene, who built it originally. Next step will be the removal of the breakfast bar dividing the kitchen from the lounge, and relocation of fridges into the new area, which will free up an area for

17 urns/coffee as well as an overdue dedicated hand wash facility away from the food preparation and dish cleaning areas. The change will allow us the space required to clean dishes again and once completed we can stop using paper plates and plastic cutlery probably just one more Café Danmark with paper and plastic. Another part of the new kitchen will be 2 mobile units, which will serve partly as additional preparation areas, partly as storage and serving area. It will give the kitchen crew more flexibility and improve working conditions. With the mobile refrigeration unit we will increase our capacity to safely store food between preparation and serving. Once the work has been completed, we will have a super gleaming kitchen facility that will make us all very proud. Meanwhile we ask for your patience with any temporary issues in connection with this major change to our facility we are doing all we can to avoid disruption to members and our regular users of the club facilities but it is virtually impossible to keep all traces of demolition, plastering, and tile cutting completely under control. Due to our commitments and current activity level at the club, next major stage will probably not commence until after Easter where the kitchen renovation team intends to strike again. If anybody has a concrete saw available and knows how to operate it, please contact Soren we believe we need some expertise and equipment for the next stage. Also if anybody would like to give a hand just by cleaning floors during/after the building activities, please let me know it all helps.
