We are just a few days away from departing for Whistler and our week long ski trip, one put on by our Sister Club, the Victoria Alpine Ski Club. I believe that one spot has opened up yet again. If you want to go, just open our Spring Activities tab and click on the link to their ski trips and registration pages. As a PSC member, you go at the club rate and do NOT need to pay another membership. You fill in their membership form and add PSC Member after your name.
I have spent the past days in both my front and back yards, busy with garden work instead of stomping up and down Hollyburn Ridge in my snowshoes. Luckily, a few of our members have not only had the time, but also the energy to head up into the mountains.
What a great Club Night we had this March. We actually had to add two more tables to those Walter reserves for us at the Coquitlam Tap House. Even though 8 or 9 of our regular members were up skiing or just not able to make it, we had a blast. As with last month, more new members signed up and a few, like Roger, came down to see what we are all about this year. Irene was very busy letting our new comers know who we are and welcoming them to our group. Others were friends of our current members and so our party grew. Walter ran about running the monthly raffle with all of the donated prizes–some very unique gifts such as the hand-woven basket, the fondue lamps, 12 spice glasses and the red wine. Thanks, Irene and Walter.
Walter has set up our Driving Range Nights, all are to be held at the Burnaby Mountain Golf Course’s Driving Range. It’s a great way to improve your swing, teach your golf clubs how to project the ball in the right direction and distance desired, and we follow it up with a social at the Hop and Vine just across the street from the course’s exit. Put those driving range dates onto your events calendar. Thanks, Walter.
Much more is to come as we are planning our Spring and Summer events: the two golf tournaments, the camping trips, a few outdoor, back yard BBQs and possibly a Curry night once more. Things are looking up–still a lot of Spring Cleaning to do, but that is what being outdoors is all about, that and skiing, snowshoeing and snowboarding.
Socials are back 3 hours before our Whitecaps’s home games- Roxyburger on Granville. You need not be a Whitecaps's fan, just a person looking for a great afternoon and evening, some good food, a social or three and like chatting about all the MOST important things in this old world.
