Noon - Buffet Lunch - For Sunday brunch, Al Mac's on the North East corner of Stanley Ave and Ferry St (5435 Ferry St). They charge $6.99 for all you can eat for breakfast (16.99 dinner). They can accommodate 35 or more easily.
All events are casual / informal. Some events may be held outdoors if the weather is particularly nice that weekend, e.g. Taps has a large patio.
Addresses and links to maps for the Badminton Club and Taps are set out below.
Ticket Sales:
A number of tickets have been purchased as of August 9
Ticket sales are expected to dramatically pick up. Like previous gatherings, this is the perfect opportunity for our members to see their friends from many years ago while meeting a great group of other people from our collective past.
Tickets are $20. Your prepayment is requested to help us be able to plan the events. Ticket order information is set out below.
The ticket cost includes everything except for drinks at the Badminton Club (a cash bar will be available other than the hosted round later Saturday night) and dinner and drinks at Taps and at the Sunday brunch (separate cheques will be provided).
Should a modest profit be generated beyond our fixed costs and the hosted drinks after Saturday-night's dinner, the committee is considering that a series of charitable donations be made in the name of the fraternity to a cross-section of deserving local charities.
Everyone is Welcome:
Members' spouses/partners/others/
families and friends are 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 dinner at Taps.
