Looking forward to seeing people at the movie, Saturday at 7 at Langara. There’s been a slight change in parking because of construction: there will be no parking in front of Langara, and the parking lot is closed after 7pm, so that leaves free street parking on Main Street north of 48th Avenue. It’s about a 10 minute walk to Langara’s main entrance from there.
Please join us for the 2nd annual Petrels’ Movie Night at Langara College!
What film?They Might Be Giants – 1971 – directed by Anthony Harvey, starring George C. Scott and Joanne Woodward
When? Saturday, July 13th at 7pm
Where? Room B 152 at Langara College. Enter the lobby at the main College entrance at 100 W. 49th Avenue. There will be a sign in the lobby and someone to escort you up to the 3rd floor. Or you can risk trying to find room A363a on your own (not recommended).
Where to park? There is free street parking right outside the College on the south side of 49th Avenue between Columbia and Ontario Streets. Don’t try to park in the Langara College Parking Lot, it’s closed on Saturday evenings.
What to bring? A little snack to share, if you’re able. Leah will provide popcorn, tea, and cold drinks.
What if you get lost? Contact Leah at 778-389-2568.

The Story: The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez
“The professor, it was she”
The Stormy Petrels will “meet” via an e-mail invitation to Zoom.
We will be discussing the first 7 chapters of “The Sign of Four” written in 1889.
At a dinner at the Langham Hotel, ACD met with the editor, Joseph Stoddart, of Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine based out of Philadelphia. Another author attended the dinner. Oscar Wilde, who also agreed to write for Lippincott’s. His result was “The Picture of Dorian Gray”.

There was one other man who dined with Doyle, Stoddart and Wilde that evening. Who was he? E-mail Fran with the correct answer.
This story received some very good reviews, and why wouldn’t it? It has a locked-room mystery, a mysterious Islander, a man with a wooden leg, a tracking dog, a boat race on the Thames, murder, treasure, and of course, romance!
The e-mail invitation will be sent shortly before Tuesday, May 5.
You will be asked to join the meeting at 7:00 PM (don’t forget to add audio – un-mute the mic)
I look forward to seeing as many Petrels as possible join in.
If anyone would like to join in as a guest at our meeting, please e-mail Fran so you can be sent the invitation.
If you have any questions or concerns, please e-mail Fran at: franziskah@shaw.ca
