Hi all, This is my first blog for the Fall of 2019 to update you on some of the things happening (I am sure I won’t get them all). The fall short mat season is upon us and going strong. See the page on Short Mat activities or contact Andrew Harley for more information. David Anderson,and Marcia Thorneycroft represented the Club at the Oak Bay Community Fair on Saturday Nov 16 and indicated that there was a lot of interest in the club and the new $150 introductory membership fee. Hopefully we will see some of these folks join our club.

In other news we did not receive our gaming grant this year (we asked for $15,000) so this is bad news for our finances this year. We have resubmitted our grant with updated information so hopefully we will receive some funding this year.

Sad news that Prim Wood passed away on November 28th. Al and Marcia’s family are having a reception at the club on December 14 @3pm. See the post on the website.

In addition, it should be noted that Fred McLeod, a long time member of the OBLBC died recently. He made many contributions to the club and some of his accomplishments will be outlined in a separate post.

Also just as a reminder be sure to check out the minutes to the latest Executive Meetings on the members only page.
