Dance Halloween Party
The Dance Committee does it once again - another great event!
As usual, with the enthusiastic guidance of the Dance Committee, the Thursday evening Halloween turned out to be great fun! Come and join us, we have many themed dances, and the members never disappoint.
Autumn Harvest Dance
What a successful event, with over 100 attendees! Live music by the "Six Odd Cats", a wonderful Roast Beef Dinner with all the trimmings, and door prizes, this event, held on November 8, 2024 in the Bonsor Recreation Center Hall.
All of the Dances sponsored by the Bonsor 55+ Society are very successful and we would like to say Thank You to all those who attend these events.
Badminton Group October Report
October is a quiet and yet busy month. The Executives team is busy getting all the pieces together to host the Peter McConville Cup tournament on November 22, 2024. The tournament is using a team competition format. This adds another layer of organization work in making it happen.
There was no PBB training program in October. However, the PBB trainers provided free one on one badminton training to some Gap Days participants (see picture below).
We also had a fun "Orange & Black" dress day at the gym. Members never disappoint to have "More Fun and Better Badminton"!
Stay tuned for the exciting November PMC Team Tournament and all the fun happening at the post tournament tea party in the November report. Have a great month.

Artist of the month for November 2024 - Vivien
Vivien Sun loves drawing in her childhood. She started to learn the drawing and the digital illustration in the later time.
One year before, she started painting with acrylic and fell in love with it. The bold, loosing and impressionist paintings are her favourite.
Besides the techniques in the acrylic painting, she keeps exploring on the various artistic expressions in the different genres.
