Welcome back to Brents Bunch starting September 18

Hi Brent's Bunch Members & Regular Guests,

We hope you had a nice summer and are ready to resume dancing with Brent's Bunch on Thursday evenings, starting September 18, 2025. 

We are still dancing at Alan Emmott Centre, 6650 Southoaks Crescent, Burnaby.  

We will maintain the current schedule of doors open at 7:15pm, with Plus dancing with rounds from 7:30pm – 9:15pm.  We do not plan to provide any drinks or have a food break except on special occasions to be determined. 

Brent will be missing a few dances, but don't worry, we have callers lined up to fill in.  

We are also hoping for some volunteers.  I should have more information on volunteer opportunities at our first dance of the year.   

I will send an email out closer to the first dance with the cost of dancing this season (hint: it will be the same as last session).

Our dance dates for the fall will be as follows:

September 18

October 2, 9, 16, 30

November 6, 13, 20, 27

December 4, 11, 18

Special Dances: 

October 23 Visit Stardowners for Oktoberfest (Dark at Alan Emmott)

October 30 for a Halloween Dance

December 18 Christmas Dance

Thank you all for your support over the years and we look forward to seeing you all on September 18.

Therese and Brent

  

GOOD NEWS! July 13th SUNDAY dancing is back ON at Aldergrove!!!

Hi again;

Tyler Wagner has graciously offered to call at the July 13th session of Sunday dancing at the OAP hall in Aldergrove.  It is a mainstream level dance.  So, for those who were disappointed to find out that dancing had been cancelled for that day, you can now plan a great afternoon dancing up a storm.  😎

Cheers,

Maureen Wilson

FVS&RDS President

No dancing Sunday, July 13

Hi Everyone;

Visit to Stardowners

Thanks to the Stardowners for their warm hospitality, and yummy Trifle!

Reminder: Brent's Bunch is DARK for the next 2 weeks

Hi Brent's Bunch & friends. 

Therese has asked me to remind you that Brent's Bunch is dark April 3 and 10.  We just have 2 dances left this season, April 17 and 24.

We have arranged a club visit to Stardowners' Trifle Dance at Centennial Lodge in New Westminster, this Thursday, April 3.  I will send a separate email with map and details to those who signed up.  If you didn't sign up but want to go, let me know and I'll send you the info.  Should be a good time!

There is no formal club visit on the books for the following week, but we encourage you to get out and visit!

See you on the dance floor.

Daphne
