The barbecue on 20 May 2019 was a great success–even the rain did not stop the fun.  Thanks to all who participated, especially to Russell Boyd who cooked the burgers and smokies to perfection–and to the exceptional kitchen helpers, Sandra Webster, Valerie MacFadyen, Shirley Grimmett, Cynthia Hou, Judy Chen, Verle Kaweski (the 50/50), and Bridget Allanson who collected the money, Kathie Draeseke who looked after the wine, Frank Kaweski looked after beer and beverages.  Thanks also to all those who helped with setup and take down.  As you can see the list is long to make a successful event.  Cheers to all involved!

Held at 5:00 pm on Sat 16 Mar 2019.

Our annual Spring Pot Luck Dinner was (again) a great success.  Apart from everybody eating well and having a great time, we also recognized the massive contributions that Verle and Frank Kaweski have made at the club, and announced that the Wednesday Afternoon Mixed Triples League will henceforth be named the Kaweski Mixed League.
