Christmas Wind Up

 
We had a fun wind up with 4 squares dancing. Here is a photo of (most of) the toys collected for the Burnaby Christmas Bureau.

Burnaby will be installing new flooring at the hall the first week of January, and so our start up has been delayed to January 11, 2018.  We will post an updated schedule as soon as we are able to confirm our proposed addition of a different dance night. 

Wishing you a very happy holiday season, and good health and good dancing in 2018!

We've been dancing at the Pavillion
Just to pass the time away

Can't you hear Jenny’s whistle blowing
Rise up so early in the evening
Can't you hear Jenny’s whistle blowing
Jenny, blow your horn

Jenny won't you blow
Jenny won't you blow
Jenny, won't you blow your horn
Jenny, won't you blow,
Jenny, won't you blow,

Jenny, won't you blow your horn!!!!

Goodnight everybody!

We had a fun Halloween Dance last Thursday, with lots of great costumes and festive outfits.  Kudos to Debra for her totally SPOOKtacular cookies, cupcakes, chocolate witch hats, pumpkins, candy and amazing sandwiches!

A reminder we are DARK on November 2 and 9.  We will visit Surrey Square Wheelers on Tuesday, November 7.  See you back at Burnaby Lake Pavilion on November 16.

Surrey Square Wheelers visitation to Brent's Bunch

Eight Surrey Square Wheelers fought wind and rain to visit us last night.  A great time was had, meeting old friends and making new ones. We will return the visit on Tuesday, November 7 and hope to retrieve our banner.

Celebrating Brent's 25 Years of Calling at Circle 8 Ranch

Two squares of us had a wonderful time dancing and socializing at Brent Mawdsley and Scott Coon's program at Circle 8 Ranch in Cle Elum WA this past weekend.  We celebrated Brent's 25 years of calling there in style.  Thanks to the Knees for decking the hall with 25 theme decorations, the Finlaysons for hosting the Friday night potluck and to the Klassens for organizing dinner out on Saturday.  We won the trophy for the club with the most pre-registered dancers.  After checking out the 2 photos of Brent below, press here to see more photos taken by Therese and Jenny.
