Club's Summer BBQ, MonSFFA special event

Picnic in the Park!

On the 14th,  we convened at Maisonneuve Park near the Insectarium for our annual BBQ in the park. Dan Kenney took the following photos of the event. Click to view full size.

Something to keep in mind for next year: While the Viau metro is the closest to the site, it involves a fairly long walk uphill, which is a bit rough in the extreme weather. If you get off at Frontenac, you can get a bus, 185, that runs along Sherbrooke and will deposit you right in front of the park.

As mentioned on the Zoom meeting, please find below the links to 3 different videos that I have put together for MonSFFA club members. I plan on adding at least 2 more videos in the next couple of weeks. I will forward their links when the video is released on YouTube.

Sunday’s weather– not good!

It’s not looking at all good for our BBQ on Sunday.

I need to confirm with Keith, but it does look like we will postpone. A shower is one thing, but being under trees in a thunder storm is quite another!

Forecast issued: 3:45 PM EDT Saturday 21 July 2018

Sun, 22 Jul Mainly cloudy. A few showers beginning in the morning. Risk of a thunderstorm. Wind becoming northeast 20 km/h gusting to 40 in the morning. High 26. Humidex 33. UV index 4 or moderate.

The 30% chance of showers seems to have morphed into a certainty. However, we can just shift the time of our picnic  from 10:00 to noon, and hope for the best.

MonSFFun in the Park!

MonSFFA’s summer BBQ is on the 16th, and we have a special visitor planning to attend:  our WARP pen pal from Israel, Leybl Botwinik. Let’s hope we finally get a day without rain!

We usually meet under a grove of ash trees, which might not be there this year thanks to the ravages of the emerald ash borer. If you don’t see us, look more to the left under the maples.

Be sure to check email and our website for the go-ahead before you go ahead to the park!

Keith is bringing the BBQ, please bring your own food and drink, and if you can, something to share with the tribe. Be sure to invite your friends and family. The more the merrier!!

Details of the where and when are in Impulse.

NEXT CLUB EVENT IS THIS WEEKEND!

SUNDAY, JULY 17

MonSFFA’s Summer Barbecue-in-the-Park

10:30AM-4:30PM; Parc Angrignon, Lasalle (Angrignon Metro)

All Club Members, their Families and Friends Invited!

Bring your Own Food and Drink; Club will Supply Cooking Grill.

MonSFFA has scheduled its traditional summer Barbecue-in-the Park this year for Sunday, July 17. In the event of a forecast of rain on that date, we’ll bump festivities to the following Sunday, July 24. (If the skies seem suspect on the morning of the 17th, check the MonSFFA Web site—MonSFFA.ca—for any eleventh-hour bulletins regarding postponement, or not, of the event.)

We take this occasion to extend a most cordial invitation to all club members, and their families and friends, to join us in the  park this coming Sunday.

We’ll gather at about 10:30-11:00AM under or nearby our usual stand of trees in  Parc Angrignon, Lasalle (Angrignon Metro). You’ll find us behind the Metro/bus station and just a short walk from the parking lot adjacent the now-shuttered “Farm”, or petting zoo (see map, below).

Bring your own food and drink; MonSFFA  will supply a small cooking grill. We usually commandeer a couple of picnic tables for the day, but you may wish to cart along a folding chair of your own, or a picnic blanket, and perhaps a card or board game, ball, or Frisbee. And don’t forget your sunscreen!

The printed version of Warp 95 will be available for distribution at this club event.

Do join us for a pleasant afternoon of easy conversation, refreshing drink, and tasty food amongst fine company!
