A number of others are attending but have just not yet got around to sending in their cheque or confirming.

Some of your friends, however, may not be on the list above and may need a prompt. Please contact them and encourage them to join us for the reunion.

Members’ contact information is available at http://aof.dougbowering.com . The password is 123.

It may be a while before we have another reunion. Our last one was 30 years ago in 1979.

Everyone (spouses, partners, others, families and friends) is welcome to attend all of the events whenever they wish. In particular, we anticipate most spouses/partners/others/families and friends will be attending the meals at Taps.

2. Schedule of Events

The only change from the last update is that the Sunday brunch will start an hour earlier at 11 a.m. and it will be at Taps Brewhouse and Grill (where we are having the Saturday-night dinner).

Here is the reunion weekend’s schedule:

Saturday, September 26

1 p.m. to 5 p.m. - Reunion Gathering and Barbeque - Niagara Falls Badminton and Tennis Club. Volleyball and change/shower facilities are available for those who wish to play.

6 p.m. to 9 p.m. - Dinner - Taps Brewhouse and Grill, a brew pub / restaurant featuring a broad range of reasonably priced menu items along with 8 beer / ale freshly brewed onsite, Ontario wines, live music and a tour of the beer-making process.

9:30 p.m. onwards - Post-Dinner Social - We will host a round of drinks for those who return to the Niagara Falls Badminton and Tennis Club after dinner for some further socializing.

Sunday, September 27

11 a.m. to 1 p.m. - Buffet Lunch - Taps Brewhouse and Grill

3. RSVP Please

We need to know who is coming to the meal events so we can reserve your seats and plan ahead.

Please confirm to Jan Lech at jan.lech@sympatico.ca or 905-780-8049 if you will be attending either or both of the Saturday-night dinner and the Sunday brunch at Taps and how many persons will be attending with you. Separate bills will be provided for both events.
