Snooker Group - A Great Fall October
We started every Wednesday with our B team winning 3 for 2 matches; rotating home and away matches well into the new year.
We also:
- Hosted evening movie night on the big screen “Colour of Money”
- Had our yearly Mary Horton match in West Vancouver - we might not have won the trophy but we surely won the respect of West Van for such a display of unity
- Hosted a day of 9 Ball tournament with lunch, winners and trophy
- Hosted a new B Select team
- Continued to enrol new members

We are a group of music lovers. We sing songs in English from all over the world, mostly from 50s and
60s, some from musical theatres, and folk songs. We have a pianist, a treasurer, coffee masters, office helpers,
a drummer, and two song leaders to lead the groups to sing, using song books provided by Bonsor and
returned to Bonsor at the end of the sessions.There are two solo sessions. Members are free to use their
cel phones, music sheets for the pianist, or sing without music. All are welcome. We enjoy songs in all languages.
The group fee is $10.00 per person per year. He/she must also be a member of Bonsor Recreation Centre. They
will get a memebership card once the fee is paid.
We have coffee breaks in between and enjoy snacks donated by our members or purchased by our coffee fund.
We celebrate special occasions with pot lucks. We have many volunteers. We recognize their contributions at the end
of year with special gifts.
