The Eighth Annual House League was held between May and August 2022. We had 44 players in 4 Teams. The Break Builders won very tight semi finals and finals to lift the Tom Yee Trophy.

We had the Awards Banquet at the Kirin Restaurant at The Starlight Casino. Sixty people attended to enjoy a lovely lunch.  Tom and Bonnie Yee made the effort to attend and give away the Trophy.  It was indeed a very poignant moment for all of us to see Tom again after his stroke many years ago.

How many could line dance at 100 years of age?  We have one at Bonsor Recreation Centre in Burnaby, BC.!  An enjoyable line dance event happened on August 3, 2022: a celebration of JOYCE CHONG’s centennial milestone at the Bonsor Recreation Centre banquet hall.

A few Board members of Bonsor 55+ Society, namely, Mary Horton, Pat Couch, Freda Jenkins and Shirley Noble were present and expressed their well wishes to Joyce on behalf of the Board.  The Hall was decorated with colourful balloons and there was a lot of food for everyone including Joyce’s favourite delicious mango birthday cake.  Over 65 people attended the party including a surprise visit from Joyce’s nephew and family from Calgary, to celebrate with Joyce.  Everyone was line dancing, socializing and enjoying the event, singing Happy Birthday to Joyce.  She is an inspiration to all of us, a fantastic, lovable and amazing lady.  Maggie Bretton, our line dance instructor gave a lovely speech on behalf of the line dance group and led us through many fun dances.

A big thank you to the staff at Bonsor 55+ Centre, especially Brett Boland, and to the volunteer team led by Lily Chew and Daisy Chan.  Thank you, of course, to Joyce Chong for hosting the party.

The Bonsor 55+ Society Line Dance Practice group was officially started in March 2022.

The Line Dance Practice group was started, albeit not officially under the umbrella of the Bonsor 55+ Society, as an off shoot of the Line Dance Classes held at the Bonsor Recreation Centre about 20 years ago. Only participants in the line dance classes at various levels could come into the practice sessions.

Currently, as an official Bonsor 55+ Society program, we have openly invited line dancers registered at all levels in the Line dance classes at the Bonsor Recreation Centre to participate in these practice line dance sessions. A donation of $10 per fiscal year to the Bonsor 55+ Society is required. The practice sessions run only when line dance classes are on. It is scheduled for every Thursday at 1.30-3.00pm.

The purpose of this line dance practice group is to provide an opportunity for all participants in the Bonsor Line dance classes to review line dances taught in the classes. It provides an avenue to review in an informal setting and to socialize with one another. The sessions are run by volunteers.
