The Open Art group wants to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season and all the best in 2025!!
The Open Art group held our annual potluck on Dec 17. We invited a special guest Jean Smith to attend this year. Jean is one of the original Open Art group founders. We had a lovely time visiting with Jean and enjoyed some great food contributed by our members. Special thanks to Pauline who made a calendar for 2025 and gave it away in a draw!

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.
