Here is a group photo taken at the Royal Swingers tonight. We had a great time and thank Steve, Lynnette and the club for their warm hospitality. It was great to have Brent and Therese out with us, and Brent participate in the calling.

Celebrating Debra
Debra completed an 86 day bike ride across Canada on August 2. We celebrated her achievement with bicycle cookies on our first night of dancing. Debra is our second member to cycle across Canada, and our pioneer Don provided lots of advice and support.

Brent's Weekend at Circle 8 Ranch
Two squares of Brent's Bunch went to Circle 8 Ranch last weekend for Brent Mawdsley & Scott Coon's Mainstream weekend. They called a wonderful dance. Unfortunately Linda had a fall and hit her head, sustaining a concussion, and she spent the night in the local hospital. She went home on schedule but recovery will take some time. Other than that clear exception, we had a great time getting together as a group, enjoying our Brent and explaining that yes, we really are a club, we're not just a bunch of Brent's groupies (or are we?) Next year is Brent's 25th year calling at Circle 8 and we hope to have an even bigger group there to celebrate with him and his family. Thanks to Rob and Abe for providing the photos.

Brent’s Bunch Update 2016-09-01
Happy September Brent's Bunch,
It was great to have a full two squares of Brent's Bunch members at the Circle 8 Ranch (www.circle8ranch.net) last weekend. Therese & I enjoyed visiting with you all. Thank you for your support of our weekend there.
I also want to say another thank you to those of you that helped with the square dance demonstration at the Dania Home in Burnaby on July 17. Dania Home provided an honorarium for this and since most of the dancers were from Brent's Bunch, I am pleased to donate $50 to the club.
I'm looking forward to seeing you at our first dance of the season on Thursday, September 15, at 7:30pm at the Burnaby Lake Pavilion.
If you'd like to get warmed up sooner and visit another club, please come out to the Royal Swingers Plus Dance, next Friday, where I will be guest calling. Details below:
