Hi Brent's Bunch Members and Friends,

I hope you are doing well and have been able to stay healthy.  Due to the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis and social distancing requirement, I have decided to cancel Brent's Bunch dances for the month of April 2020.  

I'll re-assess the situation in late April and let you know.  If group gatherings are somehow permissible again at that time, I'll ask to see how many people are interested and we can decide from there.  For now, I'll keep our hall reserved for the first three Thursdays in May.  

I have reserved the Burnaby Lake Pavillion on Thursday nights for the fall 2020 session.  Due to the annual September maintenance and a city function, the first available Thursday is Sept 27, 2020.   

We miss you all and hope we will be able to get together soon.  Meanwhile, we hope you all stay well and are able to stay in contact with your friends and family via phone, email, video chat, and social media.  

Best Regards,

Brent

Brent's Bunch Cancelled for Next 3 Weeks due to COVID-19 concerns

Hi Brent's Bunch Members and Friends, 

Thank you all for your thoughtful comments and feedback to help with this decision.  I have received replies from the majority of members and regular guests and the vast majority feel that while the risk may still be low, why increase our risk of contracting COVID-19 and potentially transmitting it to others, especially those that may be in a higher risk part of the population.  Therefore, we will cancel dancing at Brent's Bunch on Thursdays for the next three weeks (March 12, 19 & 26) and then re-assess the public health situation and recommendations at that time. 

FYI - All clubs in the Mt. Baker Council in Washington State, have canceled dances for the next 2 - 4 weeks.  This includes the Rainbow Squares dances, Saturdays, March 14 and 28.  Many clubs in the FVSRDA have canceled dances for the next 2 weeks or more.  The MS Benefit Dance March 22 has been canceled.  Therefore, check ahead before heading to other dances at this time.   

Brent's Bunch is a fantastic, friendly, caring group, and I will miss seeing you all over the next 3 weeks.  I look forward to being able to resume as soon as possible.   Meanwhile, I hope you all stay well.  

Sincerely,  Brent

Visit to Surrey Square Wheelers

We had a great time visiting Surrey Square Wheelers last night. We enjoyed Krista’s calling once again, as well as that of 4 dancers who rose to the challenge of calling on Open Mic night.

Look at this happy group with banner retrieved, all sporting their Festival 2020 ribbons.  Joe, Gord & Tally also attended but were not available for the photo.
