From the Editor

Natural disasters in both Australia and overseas have dominated the news headlines in the past couple of months. Time seems to stand still every now and then while we try to absorb these events. It makes it even more important to look at the positive sides: volunteers helping flood victims, international communities reaching out with genuine help to New Zealand and Japan and at our local level, the inundation damaged the club severely and a lot of hard work is going into getting it back in working order, but the result will be a fresh new look at the club. We’ll celebrate the new look at our Easter lunch followed by the reception to mark the christening of the royal twins with all donations to be contributed to the Premier’s Disaster Relief Fund in their names. Thanks to all users for their patience and to all volunteers for their invaluable help.

What‟s on at the Danish Club?

Café Danmark 25 March 2011

from 6 pm

Come in and see what’s happened at the club since your last visit and try our tasty ‘smørrebrød’: the menu varies from time to time, but you’ll often find ‘rullepølse’

(spicy rolled pork), smoked salmon, roast beef, pate, roast pork and ‘Esrom’ cheese. And yummy hot dogs. The bar is stocked with fresh supplies of Tuborg and Carlsberg brewed in Denmark as well as your favourite Australian beers. There’s even Tuborg Christmas brew. If you prefer a glass of wine with your food, we have a good variety of whites, reds and sparkling on offer. It’s also an opportunity to buy delicious Danish pastries, ryebread and other specialty breads and organic biscuits direct from Britt’s Danish Delights. Tea is back with

smallgoods and quality meats from Flemming, the Danish butcher at Woolloongabba, as well as her own goodies including remoulade and ‘hønsesalat’. It’s a good idea to order in advance and pick up at the café.

Hævnen v. I en Bedre Verden

af Maria Christoffersen

In a Better World er den engelske titel på den danske film, Hævnen, som vandt både Oscar og Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film. Den danske titel passer bedre. Måske den har fået en blidere titel på engelsk for at markedsføre den bedre i engelsktalende lande,

ligesom Mænd der hader Kvinder blev til The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Hævn bliver der snakket en del om i filmen – ikke, at filmen er besat af det mørke. Den bruger bare handlinger, der griber tilskuerne, til at stille spørgsmål om hævn, som kan diskuteres til uendelighed: hvornår er det okay at slå tilbage? Hvordan lærer man sine børn, hvad der er rigtigt (specielt når man selv ikke altid er helt sikker)? Hvordan balancerer forældre deres forpligtelser overfor omverdenen med deres forpligtelser derhjemme? (Hvad hvis man ikke er der for sit barn i et kritisk øjeblik?) Og, på det større plan, hvordan balancerer mennesker i velhavende samfund deres forpligtelser derhjemme med dem i udlandet? Filmen drejer sig om Christian, som er flyttet tilbage til Danmark fra London med sin far efter hans mors død. Han bliver venner med Elias, som bliver mobbet af sine klasse-kammerater. Det lykkes at få Elias til at virke både som en genert, lidt anderledes udseende dreng med bøjler på tænderne, som man kan forestille sig nogle unge kujoner ville hakke på, og på samme tid een, som har publikums sympati. De to unge skue-spillere er specielt imponerende i en film, hvor alle skuespillerne er overbevisende; de to hiver en ind i børnenes verden. Elias’s far Anton arbejder noget af sin tid som læge i et ikke navngivet land i Afrika, hvor hver gang vi ser ham ankomme, er det med synet af en blå himmel med få tynde hvide skyer over det støvede landskab, som vi ser ham køre igennem med glade, støvede børn, der løber efter bilen med de vestlige læger. Det er meget tydeligt ikke et dansk landskab. Hans konflikt mellem sin pligt som læge og provokering til at tage hævn er en parallel til, hvad der foregår hjemme i Danmark for hans søn Elias. Ironien er, at konflikten forhindrer ham i at forholde sig til Elias’s problem. At sige hvad eller hvilken hævn der blivet taget eller overvejet, ville røbe for meget af historien. Selvom det er Anders Thomas Jensen, der skriver manuskriptet, har filmen ikke den

store sorte humor ligsom hans film som instruktør, De Blinkende Lygter og Adams æbler. Den minder mere om Susanne Biers andrer realistiske dramaer. Hævnen er en meget fængende og rørende film, som har fortjent sine præmier. Filmen har premiere i Brisbane den 31. marts.

Heimdal Went to Toowoomba

Saturday 12 March 2011

(photo: Paul Christiansen)

The Brisbane team of helpers and guests were lucky to have a relatively straightforward

drive to Toowoomba (many stopped at the Big Orange for refreshments) and Paul was

waiting for us at the Jazz Club in Water Street (which narrowley survived the floods without

damage) just before 11 am. While the guys organised tables and drinks, the ladies filled

the kitchen with lots of ingredients to make smørrebrød – as usual the results looked

delicious.

It was a great opportunity to say hello to new friends from last year and meet many new

faces. Happy to report that both our own freshly made smørrebrød and Britt and Rene’s

wienerbrød was very popular. Lone had also brought along a variety of pickled herring

(getter harder and harder to buy them in the Brisbane area) and quickly sold out. Plans

to organise a bus from Toowoomba to Newstead for the Easter lunch on 10 April 2011

were discussed and if you’re living in or around Toowoomba and would like to jump on

the bus, give Paul Christiansen a ring on 0432 331 496 or 4633 1287.

A big thank you to Paul and Lorna for their help in organising this event and to the many

helpers in the kitchen who made it all possible.

Project Rebuilding Heimdal

Update

Since my last report, the kitchen has been

tiled and is looking fresh and clean. Tune

Johansen, our carpenter, removed the old timber floor with help from Anders, Carlo,

Rick, Lone and Kurt on Monday 28

February and Friday 11 March the last

board of our great new timber dance floor

was laid. It looks just beautiful.

Monday 14 March our floor sander

commenced and the last coating was

applied Friday 18 March - the result was

stunning.

In the week starting 20 March, Tune

Johansen will complete installation of

doors, architraves, kickboards etc, and we

aim to have the kid’s room back in order by the end of the month.

Painting is also scheduled to be completed

by the end of next week, so you should all

be able to see the results at Café Danmark Friday 25 March. No doubt there will still

be many items to finalise over the coming

months.

Most importantly we get our hall back in working order, so we can host the regular

functions of the Danish, Swiss, Norwegian

and Swedish Clubs, the folk dancers and

the play groups, Folkies Old & New and

also meet our commitments to upcoming hall hire events such as weddings.

The first progress payment from QBE was

received early March and we anticipate

further funding shortly as we require a fair bit of cash to continue with our restoration

schedule and avoid delays.

The Danish Club in Sydney A general meeting is being held at the end of March to determine the club’s future at their current address. Their property (the Swedes hold 30%) is on a

crown lease with an annual rent of $10,000 and 10 years left. The lease terms prevent the Club from running a commercial business which again makes it difficult for them to make ends meet. Hopefully they’ll find a workable solution.

Nilfisk to the rescue

Meet Buddy! Nilfisk has donated two new vacuum cleaners to the club – Buddy has already arrived and we’ll introduce his mate in the next newsletter. A huge thank you to Nilfisk for their generous donation.

Mols-Linien mellem Kalundborg og Aarhus indstiller sejladsen i nær fremtid. Efter et væsentlig fald i antallet af lastbiler, der anvendte færgen i 2009/10, har Mols-Linien besluttet at indstille sejladsen. Det betyder 800 flere lastbiler hver døgn på motorvejen over Storebælt. En endelig dato for lukningen er endnu ikke oplyst. Det betyder også, at den planlagte udvidelse af Kalundborg Vesthavn vil blive skrinlagt, medmindre færgeaktiviteterne overtages af et andet selskab. (kilde: Maritime Danmark)

De syv danske sejlere - heraf tre børn - der nu i tre uger er blevet holdt som gidsler af somaliske pirater, er blevet skilt i to grupper. Det sker seks dage efter, at somaliske sikkerhedsstyrker angreb piraterne nær landsbyen Hul-Anod.

Den somaliske radiostation Bar-kulan bragte oplysningen om, at tre af de danske gidsler nu befinder sig på et skib ud for havnebyen Bayl på Somalias nordkyst, mens de sidste fire danskere er blevet flyttet til østkysten ud for byen Dhul Hafun. Netavisen har forsøgt at få informationerne om de syv danskeres skæbne bekræftet af Udenrigsministeriet, men her ønsker man - af hensyn til de tilfangetagne og deres pårørende - ikke at kommentere situationen. Piraterne kaprede den danske båd den 24. februar og har siden fremsat krav om en løsesum for at frigive de syv danskere. Hvor stor en løsesum der er stillet krav om, er ikke oplyst. (kilde: politiken.dk)

Den 18. marts udsendte Nationalbanken en ny 20-kronemønt med containerskibet Emma Mærsk som motiv. Der forventes fremstillet 800.000 eksemplarer af mønten, der sættes i almindelig omløb

Skibsfart spiller en stor rolle i dansk økonomi, og ikke mindst containerskibe indtager en fremtrædende plads i nutidig dansk skibsfart. Det har derfor været selvfølgeligt at lade serien omfatte et containerskib som udtryk for den moderne danske handelsflåde. Emma Mærsk er et helt moderne containerskib og hører til blandt de allerstørste. Det blev sat i drift i slutningen af 2006 og sejler i fast rutefart mellem Fjernøsten og Europa gennem Suez-kanalen. Det tilbagelægger ca. 170.000 sømil om året svarende til 7½ gange rundt om jorden. Skibet kan fuldt lastet rumme 11.000 fulde 20 fods containere eller 14.700 tomme containere. Motivet er udformet af billedhuggeren Torben Ebbesen, der har valgt kun at vise den centrale del af skibet. Kunstneren har tidligere skabt motivet "Nattergalen" i temaserien med H.C. Andersen motiver og "Selandia", der er mønt nr. tre i skibsserien. (kilde: Den Kongelige Mønt)

Dansk legegruppe Hver fredag 9.30-11.30 36 Austin St, Newstead 1. søndag i måneden 10-12

(find os på Facebook) Vi mødes hver fredag og den 1. søndag i

måneden for at snakke og lege sammen på

dansk. Da vores lille faste gruppe svinger

lidt i deltagere pga ferier, oftest til

Danmark og arbejde mv, vil vi meget gerne

se flere medlemmer. Vi tror trods alt det

gavner børnene at mødes og lege samt

høre, at vi alle taler dansk.

Vi starter normalt med fri leg og ca kl 11

sidder vi alle omkring et bord og spiser

vores medbragte mad – og slutter gerne

dagen med nogle danske børnesange.

Et farverigt liv som Prins og Prinsesse

For at sætte ekstra kulør på den store

begivenhed har Malerfirmaet Flügger A/S

skabt to nye farver, der er specielt

udviklet til den nye prins og prinsesse.

Farverne hedder indtil dåben blot ’Prins’ og

’Prinsesse’, men vil ligesom børnene blive

døbt dagen efter de officielle navne

afsløres i kirken.

Prinsesse:

Den støvede lavendel er en smuk, moderne

farve, der er inspireret af både Prinsesse

Isabella og Kronprinsesse Marys farver.

Den fine kulør minder om frisk luft, lun

sommeraften og rene, nordiske materialer

som træ, uld og vilde blomster.

Prins:

En diset, maritimfarvet gråblå, der sender

tankerne i retning af havgus, vinterhimmel

og flintesten. Det er en smuk, kølig og

drenget farve, der ligesom Prinsessefarven

passer til enkle, råhvide børnemøbler og

tekstiler

Update from the Committee

The committee meets once a month and at our February meeting we discussed:

Our flood event – and insurance

Soren gave an update on current position: tiling had commenced, new posts were being installed, floor due to be removed on 28 Feb 11 and the schedule for laying the new floor, sanding, varnishing etc. Flemming Brickmann will paint the premises once the floors have been completed and we’re aiming to have the hall in a near state of completion by 10 April. A roof expert has had a look at the roof and in his opinion, the asbestos roof will continue to cause problems in spite of the sealing done in 2009. The colour bond roofing on the kids’ playroom section is severely rusted, the old windows have deteriorated and overall the roofing is not cyclone-proof. Suggest that the club applies to the QLD Gambling Community Benefit Fund for removal of asbestos roof and replace-ment with colourbond. (Quotes have subsequently been obtained indicating a

total cost of $120,000 and the club has applied to two funds for funding assistance). Ceiling tiles in current ceiling will need to be replaced, including the hard ceiling tiles in the kids’ room to improve acoustics (with the timber floor it will become very noisy).

No insurance refunds have yet been

received and to keep the work going, both the club and Søren has outlaid funds totalling $35,000.

Events

The last Sunday in February will be busy

with both a ‘High Tea with Martin Pearson’ event (private function) and a Norwegian Folkloric Concert with performers from Norway (function held by Norwegian Club).

The April Store Kolde Bord will be held on Sunday 10/4 and we have invited the ambassador to participate. We’ll combine it with a reception-style event to celebrate the christening of the royal twins (14 April). Details to be discussed.

The April Cafe Danmark will be on 29 April (22 April is Good Friday), no event scheduled for 2nd Saturday in May and 11/6 will be a Skt Hans event with Saga Vikings at their Petrie village.

Money

Accounts for January 2011 showed a

deficit of approx 8,000 after large payments in the month for insurance and rates and initial inundation expenses.

Membership

7 new members came on board in the last period. Total membership is getting closer to 200 individuals and families which is good news. 11 members still unfinancial.

Committee

Iben Lund is interested in joining the committee and we’ll invite her to our

March committee meeting.

News

- Lise and Peter will be added as

signatories to the bank account

- New furniture options to be

investigated – maybe have large

floor cushions instead of bean bags

in kids’ room

- Lone to get quotes for new taps in

bathrooms

- Hall hire rates will increase from 1

July 2011 to $400 with another

$100 for cleaning and a $500

deposit.
