Sir Andrew and the Vintage MG Blues: Wednesday, June 7th!

Truth-tellers are not always palatable. There is a preference for candy bars. -Gwendolyn Brooks, poet (7 Jun 1917-2000)
 


Hi Patrick, We're in Osoyoos, motoring today to Penticton wine visitor centre for about 9.30am. There 20 vintage MG's and will be quite the spectacle! I did email 2 days ago to you Unclub address, but maybe you're out of town? I don't have your current phone number either. Hope to see at the centre?! Cheers, Baldrick
Hello Osoyoos Folk, et al! Great visit, though too, too brief! Lovely to see you both. Lady Dar was sorry not to have been here and sends her best wishes. Hope you will stay next year.

This is the address from last two messages and one to which I replied. However, for today's message, you will see I have used the Telus address. Trust this goes through. Must away as I want to go for a ride instead of simply describing endless circles waiting for you and your convoy of MG's to arrive! Map and Stats for today's outing:

Hope all goes well with rest of your stay and drive back. Enjoy Iceland. Travel safely. Cheers, Il Conduttore! Pics: Invasion of the MG's!
Hey, What’s with these cars? Most of them have the steering wheel on the wrong side! And I bet they flipped the photo on the rest! Branko
 
Hi Kids! Here, at long last, are the snaps from the wonderful reunion which Lady Dar and a number of her classmates organized. Cheers, Official Photographer, Patrizzio!

Hi Patrick Mark would like to correspond with youJ Cheers Tina G’day Patrick, Hope you and Corinne are doing fine. Bree and I are cruising along. Bree has just spent her first year in a new job with a radio station in Adelaide selling on-air advertising and won Sales executive of the year. I gave full time teaching away last year and have started up my own building company-EcoUrbane Building Group. I have signed my first clients up for a renovation/extension that will start in the next 4-6 weeks. Check out our website. Mya is in her final year of primary school and is growing into a confident, smart and beautiful young lady. Jade is a cheeky little bloody monkey full of attitude with wit and a sense of humour that is razor sharp. She is also gonna chew the boys up and spit them out!! Heading back to your end of the world with mum and dad in Jan 2018. Regards, Mark!
 
Hi Marcus! Thanks for the newsy update on your new business and family. Pleased all goes so swimmingly. Just a quick note to say we will certainly look for the supplements you describe. If we are able to purchase them how many containers of each do you want? Not sure when you wish to start taking such but we have close friends from Melbourne, here on sabbatical, until end of September and I could ask if they might be willing to mule said supplements. Otherwise, we will mail what we are able to obtain and amounts you request.

With respect to payment, not sure what your banking system allows but here, (at the top of the world!), I use e-Transfer, directly to someone's email address, from my Royal Bank account. If this is an option it is what I suggest as there is no charge for transfer of funds. At any rate, let me know what you think about what I've said and we'll plan accordingly. In meantime, we'll scope out availability of supplements you want. All the best to one and all. Cheers, Patrizzio!


Dear friends, Thank you for organizing Patrick, and both of you a big thank you for hosting this rowdy group of bridgeplayers. I just send a picture of your lovely baby gift to Bodil, Vince and Arlo. On behalf of the new parents a big hug.Tiny little Arlo who is still losing weight in stead of gaining and will love to be snuggled up in a soft blanket for a while.The african wrap is totally in line with Bodils line of thinking After we say goodbye to our Australian friend Sunday, we have to raise our glasses together soon. Jos
Hi Patrick, So sorry to miss the dinners this week but I am enjoying our Calgary company. They are unlikely to move here as both their sons live in Calgary. See you at Bridge next week. 

Hi Bridge Pot-luckers et al! Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful food, drink and evening's worth of conviviality! Thanks, as always, to Judy Blue, for bringing her bridge table.

With respect to next week's game, if my memory serves me well, I believe Josinta offered to host, this coming Tuesday. [If not, we can hammer out venue later.] Lady Dar and I are available on Monday, as well, should people rather this evening. That being the case, please let me know who can play and which night is preferable. (Naramatians and Pentictonites can car-pool so let's arrange  that, once we know who is coming from where.) Thanks and Cheers, Patrizzio!

PS: Looking ahead, I see from Joltin' Jim's message that there is a meeting about the new Parks and Recreation Master Plan being developed by the District of Summerland, on Tuesday, June 20th. I assume some/many of you will want to attend so I suggest people think about which evening, that week, might suit for bridge.

Hi Jim Summerland is doing a Parks and Recreation Masterplan soon and I would appreciate it you could send out a notice which should catch most Summerland hikers. I have attached the notice below. My main concern is not so much the trails themselves, as ensuring access to places such as Rattlesnake and Cartwright. In too many instances developments are allowed which cut off ready access to the areas beyond them. Thanks Tony

The public is invited to the Arena Banquet Room on June 20th to learn more about the new Parks and Recreation Master Plan that is being developed by the District of Summerland. The Master Plan will serve as a guiding document for parks and recreation over the next ten years. You’ll learn what the Master Plan will consider and how it will be developed, and you’ll have an opportunity to share your thoughts. Staff will be on hand to answer questions and to discuss ideas. Parks and Recreation Master Plan Date: Tuesday June 20, 2017 Drop in from 7:00 – 9:00 pm Location: Arena Banquet Room If you’re not able to attend the open house, information about the Master Plan and a questionnaire to share your thoughts will be posted on the District’s website at http://www.summerland.ca/parks-recreation/recreation-master-plan-2017 from June 20th to July 2nd.
