gordon keatch 2014 headshotOne of our favourite people, Gordon Keatch, has decided to put down his pen as our intrepid “getting to know” columnist. And since he did so in a most official and gentlemanly way, we decided to share his letter of “resignation” for everyone to see (click below). Thanks, Gordon, for telling the stories of 150 or more members over the years and helping us really get to know each other. Cheers, mate!

Gordon’s letter 2014

PS If anyone is interested in taking up the pen and keeping the column going, we’d love to hear from you.

The Pool Party was great!

The Pool Party was great!

Welcome to summer, all you Aussies and Kiwis and Canucks in Canada! Wow, do we have a social calendar for you. In lieu of The Southern Yarn, which is on hiatus until September, we will post upcoming events and notices right here!

To get us started, a reminder that our Pool Party and Potluck is on Saturday July 12 at 57 D’Arcy Drive, starting around 2:00 pm. The Club is providing the burgers and buns, and you are providing the side dishes and desserts, and whatever you want to drink. RSVP to 204-275-7631 or 204-943-3775. Members and guests welcome!

Here are a few more photos from the day:

 

Stay tuned for more info on the golf tournament AND wine and cheese meeting. And don’t forget the summer lawn bowling – details in the next post.
