Due to an “Olympic” event taking place in Vancouver, the regular monthly meeting of the Stormy Petrels has been canceled.
Unfortunately, the “Masters’ Dinner” has also suffered due to the afore-mentioned “Olympic” event, since the venue site will be required for other matters.
The Petrels, being a hardy bunch and never willing to accept any defeat, we have come up with an alternative.
The 22nd Annual Masters’ dinner will go ahead with a pot-luck and less formal atmosphere than prior years. Members will be contacted by Gloria Scott and Mrs. Hudson as to the menu.
The dinner will take place as usual chez Wood starting at 6:00 pm on Tuesday, March 2nd.
