Jim Produced the SAV from 1972 until 1990 when the VSDA progressed to professional Printers. However Jim Continued to collate the SAV and during this time worked with Five different editors. His dedication to the SAV was by no means his only achievement for the VSDA. Jim’s other main task was organising the Dinner Dance during its many years at the Heidelberg Civic Centre, arranging tables, organising the catering and the ticketing. In 1980 Jim received Life Membership to the VSDA and in 1985 Jim and Edna were presented with the Order Of Australia OAM for Service to the Community and Square Dancing.
