About TAWS

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.

Co-ordinating Committee
A TAWS National Co-ordinating committee was subsequently formed to co-ordinate activities, receive and distribute information to members, maintain a register of members, and receive and distribute monies as required.

The National Coordinator and Membership Database Custodian is Graeme Jarman.
