Happy 70th Birthday, John

Another club member had a milestone birthday - congratulations to John!  Nancy once again treated us to her delicious and gorgeous baking and elegant display to mark the occasion.  We hear she will be celebrating her own in a couple of months.  Joe Barker will be celebrating his 80th in June.  Congratulations and best wishes to all three!

Guest Caller John Corrigan at Brent's Bunch Tonight

A reminder that Brent has gone to celebrate Megan's 21st birthday with her this weekend, and John Corrigan has kindly agreed to cover for him tonight.

Check out the entry below for a couple of snaps from the Stardowners' visit last week.  Thanks again to all those who brought food, and to Debra who ran the show.

We were delighted to welcome good friends from the Stardowners to last night's dance.  Thanks to all who attended and contributed to the fun, and to those who brought the lovely treats.  As ever, thanks to Brent for calling a great dance!

Four Score and More Presentation

 

Eva and Nelson, our FVSRDA reps, joined us Thursday night to present Abe & Gord with their Four Score and More badges.  They all wear them well!

We Got Our Banner Back

We were a bit light on numbers, but Town 'N' Country Dancers graciously returned our banner at this afternoon's dance.  We had a great time!

Brent’s Bunch Schedule Change - DARK tomorrow February 1

Hi.  Brent is off to Africa tomorrow for 3 weeks, and so the schedule he issued mid December is revised.

February 1 - DARK

February 8 - Guest Caller John Corrigan

February 15 - DARK

We had our first dance at the new hall last Thursday, and it is a lovely venue.  The room is spacious with a nice ambiance.  There is a small elevator for those who have difficulty with stairs, but the stairs were easy.  We didn't find the thermostat, but the windows open.  As far as I know, all fit in the parking lot, and parking is much closer to the hall than at Burnaby Lake.  If you didn't make it out last Thursday, we hope to see you February 8 or soon!
