Sunday Walks 

The walks always start at 1400hrs and last between 1.25 and 2 hours and are graded as to difficulty (a one booter is dead easy, a four booter is the most difficult we attempt) so you can decide if the walk is suitable for you.

Friends, relatives and dogs are more than welcome to accompany members on these walks.

Although the Sunday walks will show up on the Event Calendar, we communicate the details by email shortly before the scheduled walk.

Members - If you wish to be included on the email list, go to your “Profile Page”, scroll down to “Club Interests” and put a check mark in the “Walking” selection. (Don’t forget to save your changes)

If you think that you might want to join one of the walks, or want to find out a bit more about them, please contact Adrian Kershaw

So, join the walking group for a chance to keep up with old friends, make new ones and get some exercise in the bargain!

Volunteer work Party

Great news!  Jon Preston, member of the club since 2003, is willing to teach bridge at SNSYC.  Jon became a Bridge Life Master in 1986, and in 2016 completed the Better Bridge Course Certificate approved by the American Contract Bridge League.  He has taught in local clubs and on cruise ships.

The beginner course that Jon will teach is a long-standing course developed by Audrey Grant.  There are eight lessons, each about 75 minutes, or 90 minutes with a break.  There is an accompanying soft-cover book.  Jon has a couple of copies and can order more, but the books are not important for the first two lessons.  They are not available in bookstores, but Jon buys the books online and they will cost about $15.  

Jon has offered to teach the course for $40 for members ($60 for non-members).  The usual charge for the course is $80.

If you miss classes 1 or 2 you can catch up.  It is NOT possible to catch up if you miss any classes from 3 onwards.  

You can attend either on Wednesdays or Saturdays.  

Register at the club bar.

Speaker Series

The Cotswolds Way

Last summer six members – Dianne and Peter Salmon, Barry and Maggie McNish and Rob and Elizabeth Powers – organized a hiking trip along the Cotswolds Way in England. 

You’ll hear how they organized it, what gear they took with them, where they stayed, and, of course, how many pubs they went into!  The photographs are delightful and they all have some good stories to tell.

Chef Rico will be providing an English themed buffet starting at 1800 ($30 including taxes and gratuity) and the talk will begin at 1915.

If you intend to come for the buffet it’s critical that you phone 250-656-4600 and let the staff know that you’ll be there – that way Chef Rico will know how much food to prepare!

Each Speakers' Series event is preceded by a special buffet prepared by our Chef and his staff and is served at 18:00.

The dishes Chef prepares are often inspired by the topic of the talk. In the past we’ve dined in style on French, Mexican, Russian, British, and Thai cuisines, just to mention a few.
