Ahoy Matey!

Yes, International Talk Like a Pirate day is almost upon us. We are holding our TLAP dance on September 18th at Burnaby Lake Pavilion.
The dance starts at 7:30 and yes, we dance Plus.
We hear noises in the scuppers that some out of town sea dogs might be planning to board the ship. If your GPS won't take the address, 6871 Roberts Street, Burnaby, BC , then put in the intersection of Sprott St and Sperling Ave in Burnaby BC. When you get there, turn right onto Sperling then left on Roberts and go to the end. The hall is at the far end of the parking lot.
See you on the dance floor
