On November 25, 2016, following our Bonsor Cup Tournament, we had our annual Christmas lunch.  Once again, a record number of 171 members attended.  Also, we were honored to have Eric Bientjes (Manager of Burnaby Parks & Recreation), Mary Horton (President of Bonsor 55+ Society), Tina Cooper (Bonsor Senior Supervisor) and Michelle St Jean (Bonsor 55+ Liaison) join us for the event.

Before the lunch began, our president, Peter McConville, presented the medals to all the winners with everyone cheering on. Lots of pictures were taken of individuals and teams posing with the Bonsor Cup.

We also had lots of door prizes, including bouquets of beautiful flowers (donated by one of our members), chocolates, cookies, mugs with our club’s logo and other badminton accessories. Our grand prize was a badminton racquet.

Every year we raise money for the Maywood School mitten fund as part of the Christmas lunch event. Our contribution to the fund this year tops $589.

The party was a huge success. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food and the good company of each other. Finally, I’d like to express my sincere gratitude to all the volunteers who helped make this event so successful.
