Den Danske Forening Heimdal s Medlemsblad July 2007 Newsletter for The Danish Association Heimdal - Established 1872
Contributions All letters to the editor and other material to be published, must be received by the 10th of the month. I will endeavour to publish all material submitted but reserve the right to determine the suitability of material to be published. Any material published does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Danish Club or the Editor. From the Editor. Ulla Uhlott og assistent, Sandy, har tilbudt at lave medlemsbladet. Til næste generalforsamling i august vil jeg hermed nominere Ulla Uhlott som Redaktør af Heimdal s Medlemsblad. Første udgave med ny redaktør vil blive september udgaven. På gensyn i Heimdal Aage Kære Medlemmer og Venner af Heimdal. Der har været nogen diskussion på bestyrelsen om medlemsskab af klubben skulle være per person i stedet for som nu per familie. Nu betaler en familie $50 per år og har 2 stemmer (ved generalforsamlinger), een for hver voksen. Børn under 18 år har ikke stemmeret i klubben. Det nuværende familie-medlemskab omfatter det voksne par samt deres børn. Børn, der er 18 år eller ældre, skal selv betale familie- medlemsskab $50 per år. Resultatet er, at der er meget få børn over 18 år, der er medlem af klubben. Det ændrer sig som oftest først, når barnet får en partner og sine egne børn. Enlige personer (over 18 år) kan kun tegne familie medlemsskab til $50 per år og har een stemme. En ny kategory kunne kaldes person medlemsskab til $35 pr. år og vil kun øge arbejdet for medlemsofficeren en smule. Det koster for tiden klubben ca. $20 om året at udsende dette medlemsblad per medlem, uanset medlemskategorien. Derfor er det nok rimligt, at et person medlemsskab skulle blive mere end halv pris af et familie medlemsskab.

$15950.00 compared with approx $25000.00 as suggested by previous committee. Ladies toilet may have a serious problem. Our president had a conversation with the plumber who initially did the work. Apparently some old pipes were not replaced, that seems to have caused the intermittent blockage. The floor may have to be jack hammered out and the pipes replaced.

Benny Uholtt (again) will try to find time to replace broken tiles in our courtyard. Flemming to get quote from Smart Sails to cover courtyard.

The club will be extended with a big Marque out in the courtyard to make it one big area for every one to enjoy. There will still be areas where you can sit and have a quiet chat and rest your tired feet. An extra bar will also be set up, to make it easy for everyone to buy their drinks (we don t want any one to go thirsty). We are still working on a couple of things and will let you all know when it has been finalized. It promises to be a fantastic night, look out for your invitation in the mail. See you all there.

ISABELLA HENRIETTA INGRID MARGRETHE Det blev det lidt overraskende navn, den lille prinsesse fik da hun søndag formiddag blev døbt I Fredensborg Slotskirke Hendes Kongelige Højhed prinsesse Isabella Foto: Steen Brogaard Mange havde sikkert gættet på, at både Ingrid, Margrethe og Henrietta ville indgå i den godt to måneder gamle prinsesses navn. Men der har ikke været mange bud på Isabella. Dermed går kronprinsparret i traditionens fodspor og giver deres anden fødte et lidt utraditionelt navn. Ligesom til prins Christians dåb var det også denne gang mor Mary, der førte den lille prinsesse mod døbefronten. Der ventede Københavns biskop Erik Norman Svendsen, som også døbte Christian og viede Frederik og Mary, med tempereret vand. Selve dåben tog prinsesse Isabella rigtig fint hun sov nemlig trygt mens præsten øste vand på hendes lille royale hoved. Men ellers så både Christian og den lille pige noget betuttet ud i kirken, men så tog far Frederik sig af den store mens mor Mary, ligesom til Christians dåb, stillede sin lillefinger til rådighed når den lille var utilfreds. Da prins Christian blev døbt, havde han ikke mindre end otte prominente faddere, men den lille prinsesse måtte tage til takke med seks, deriblandt nære venner af kronprinsparret og to prinsesser Mathilde af Belgien og prinsesse Alexia. Efter dåben inviterede Mary og Frederik deres 120 gæster på en frokost i Kancellihusets baghave. Camilla Albrechtsen (Se og Hør) page 11

Entertainment books. We still have copies left of the Entertainment Book, both Gold Coast and Brisbane Editions. With this book, you can save lots of $$$$$ during the year. Ranging from fine dining, where you receive a complimentary meal, when you purchase one at full price, to Subway and Hungry Jacks. It also includes car hire, theme parks, accommodation and much more. We are displaying the books at the club, and we are more than happy to explain more about it. The Gold Coast book costs $50 and the Brisbane book $60 And we make $10 per sold book for the club. Rolls Royce. A big THANK YOU to Poul Tvede for donating a Rolls Royce to the club. The car is an exact replica of a 1901 Rolls Royce with leather interior. Paul has spent numerous hours creating this gem, and we are very grateful for the donation. We will have a big raffle, drawn at the AGM, but till then, you can view the Rolls at the club. page 15
