Visit to Town 'N' Country

Here's the happy group retrieving our banner from Town 'N' Country President Couple Peter and Lucille.  We were given a very warm welcome and had a great time!

Hope we'll see you at our next dance,  March 14.

Reminder: Brent's Bunch is DARK this week

A reminder that Brent's Bunch is DARK Thursday, March 7. We will instead dance TONIGHT at Town 'N' Country Dancers at their temporary location of the Pitt Meadows Seniors Activity Centre, 19065 - 119B Avenue, Pitt Meadows, beginning with a Rounds workshop at 7:00 p.m. Remember to wear your burgundy and white, if you have it.

We resume with our St. Patrick's Dance on Thursday, March 14. We will be celebrating my 65th, Abe's 75th, Walter's 85th, Dave and Jenny's birthdays. Let me know if your birthday is near then too and I'll have your name added to the cake.

Hope to see you tonight!

Visit from Stardowners

We were delighted to welcome two squares of Stardowners to last night's dance. 

We've tentatively arranged a return visit for April 11.

Brent's Bunch Feb 14 - CANCELLED DUE TO SNOW

Hi Brent's Bunch,  

Thank you for your feedback.  Comments have been mixed; however, although it looks OK now, based on weather forecasts this morning with snow & freezing rain predicted to start this afternoon through the evening causing slippery driving conditions depending on elevation, I think is is better to stay safe than be sorry or stressed out due to the travel conditions.  Therefore, I have CANCELLED the dance and the Burnaby Lake Pavilion for tonight Feb 14.  

We will have a post Valentines dance next Thursday Feb 21 and I've got a new Valentines song to share with you, plus many more.

The Burnaby Lake Pavilion is available Thursday evening, May 2.  Could you let me know if you would like to extend our season to May 2 to make up for the snow day?

Stay safe and warm and Happy Valentines Day.  See you next week. 

Best Regards,

Brent

Hi Brent's Bunch,

I just wanted to take and poll and see how you were feeling about driving to the hall tomorrow night.  

Could you reply to me individually and let me know if you think we should CANCEL or DANCE Feb 14?

I'll see what the response is, check with the hall & weather report tomorrow morning and let you all know if we will cancel or dance.

Thanks,

Brent

Robbie Burns Dance

On January 24 we had 5 squares enjoying Brent's excellent calling and selection of Scottish tunes, Bruce's Address to a Haggis, Dave & Jenny's decorations, and Maryanne & Joe's delicious refreshments (with help from Daphne and her sister Cynthia).

Christmas Wind Up

Brent brought joy to our hearts with his wonderful calling at our wind-up dance on December 13.  Key couple Gordon & Tally kept everything organized, Dave and Jenny decked the hall beautifully and we had a delicious feast thanks to our collective effort.

Donations to Burnaby Christmas Bureau

We hope to see you at our start up January 3.  The Spring schedule is posted here and to the sidebar on the right.  

Reminder - Brent's Bunch is DARK this week

We will not be dancing Thursday, December 6, and will have our Christmas wind-up dance Thursday, December 13.  Former dancers, we'd love to see you!  We break for coffee at about 9 p.m. if you want to join us then.

Note to Brent's Bunch regulars - our custom is to each bring a small plate of goodies to share that evening.  Jennifer has got the veggies covered.  We will also be collecting new, unwrapped toys for the Burnaby Christmas Bureau.  We hope to see you then!
