Brents Bunch dates for the fall

Hi everyone, 

Thank you to the dancers that were able to attend our first dance of the season, "Talk like a Pirate".  We had lots of fun and yummy treats, thanks to Daphne and Glenna. 

Brent and I have confirmed the schedule for the fall and the dates are below.  We had to cancel one already, due to a trip that just came up for Brent's work.  If you prepaid I will refund you for the dance. 

Fee for the fall session is $80 per person, or $8 per person per night. 

Dates are as follows:

September 17, 24

October 8,15,22,29

See you on Thursday.

Hi everyone, 

Its hard to believe its the middle of September already. Brent and I are looking forward to seeing you all on Thursday night, "Talk like a pirate." If you like, come dressed up for the theme.

Coming Event - Welcome Back Bash

Hello, Brent's Bunch and Friends!

Mark your calendars for a special trio of events on Saturday, September 19 at Brookswood Senior Centre - meetings, a potluck dinner and a Welcome Back Bash Dance. As well as joining together to celebrate Fall dancing, it is a Mary Cox Memorial / Alzheimer benefit dance. Mary passed away June 9 (link to obituary). This year's Scroll of Honour will be presented during the dance.

Please email Daphne Green dg.fv.sec@gmail.com if you plan to attend the FVSRDA meeting and/or the potluck dinner. This will ensure we have a quorum for the meeting, and that we have set up enough seating. (Note that there is no need to rsvp for the dance.)

There is no extraordinary business on the Agenda; rather it is to ensure we offer an in person meeting in 2026.  

Here are the details:

DATE: Saturday, September 19, 2026

TIME: 3:30 PM

VENUE: Brookswood Seniors Centre, 19899 36 Ave, Langley

 

The FVSRDA meeting will be held in the main hall.

The VDCTA meeting will be held in the chat room just off the lounge area.

The meetings will be followed by a potluck dinner and dance.

 

5:45–6:30 PM — Potluck dinner. Please bring your own plates, mugs, and cutlery.

7:00–7:30 PM — Pre-rounds

7:30–9:30 PM — ‘Classic mainstream’ dancing with 2 ‘classic plus’ tips and rounds

 

All three events are open to everyone. You are welcome to attend any or all of the events.

A flyer is attached in colour or black and white.

Please remember to confirm your participation in either the FVSRDA meeting or the potluck.

Correction to start time on flyer for BC Blast Plus Dance on BC Day

Hi - the Brendzys have emailed that the flyer for Monday's dance has the wrong start time on it for the afternoon Plus dance.  Pre-rounds start at 2 pm but the flyer says 3 pm. Plus dancing is at 2:30 pm. See below.

They write...

... Now we are ready for a short rest before seeing all of you on BC Day, August 3, for the BC Blast at Kennedy Hall.  We have just talked to Tony, and everything is in order for the dance.  There are conflicting times for the afternoon dance, as the tickets say 2 pm, but the flyer says 3 pm.  We plan to have pre-rounds at 2 pm.  We will begin Plus dancing at 2:30 until just before 5 pm.  We have reserved the outdoor patio at the White Spot on Scott Road, 3 kilometers away.  We plan to order off the menu, but may place the order during the dance to make sure we will be back for a 7 pm start.  If you are interested in joining us for dinner, please let us know.  There is space for 30 – 35 people on the patio, but we can spread out into the rest of the restaurant if needed.  The evening dance is “everybody can dance”, so you are all welcome to attend.  Tony is the top caller in the world, and we know you will have an excellent time!
