Lighting up with disco

Sunbury Blue Light Disco is back for another night of dance moves, music, friendship and retro outfits.

The event will be held on May 24, from 6pm to 8pm, at Sunbury Memorial Hall. Primary School-aged children are invited to attend, and prep aged students are advised to come with a friend if it’s their first time.

Organiser Kimberly Hunting said the disco is retro-themed and encouraged all attendees to dress up for the night.

“We have a poll on our Facebook with song suggestions for the night … [and] there’s a canteen and lots of door prizes,” she said.

“The kids get very excited, especially with dressing up, we see some amazing costumes.

“In the past we’ve done retro and there have been a lot of crimped hair and shoulder pads, we’ve also done a onesie theme in winter, and a Halloween theme.”

Ms Hunting said they hold between four to six discos per year, depending on the hall availability. She said they are all volunteer run, and the parents don’t come into the event.

“We have [the attendee numbers] capped at 250, as it all comes down to volunteer numbers,” she said.

“We are in the process of getting more volunteers, it’s about three hours, four times a year, and volunteers will need a current Working with Children Check.”

Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Sunbury Blue Light Disco.
