T.A.W.S. was initially suggested by a group of dancers who attended the Anniversary Caravan & Camping weekend at the Sunshine Coast Square Dance Centre, Buderim, Queensland in August 2006.
The inaugural meeting of T.A.W.S. was held at the 48th Australian National Square Dance Convention in Adelaide, South Australia, in June 2007 where a large group of interested dancers attended to find out more about T.A.W.S. It was a huge success, and attendees unanimously agreed that the formation of TAWS should proceed.
Coordinating Committee
A TAWS National Co-ordinating committee was subsequently formed to co-ordinate activities, receive & distribute information to members,
maintain a register of members, and receive and distribute monies as required. The TAWS National Co-ordinating committee
comprises the following personnel:
