Sunday Dancing PLUS Technical Workshop!
- Interesting in learning the mesoseg? This is an advanced couple dance with lots of turning (for the women). Sunday dancing on October 27 from 2-5pm will have an emphasis on the mesoseg. Hal Collier, a mesoseg expert will be there. Dance shoes with heels are recommended. Address: 16479 - 92A Ave, Surrey, BC.
- After dancing, are you interested in learning Google Drive, MailChimp, Wordpress, etc? We'll have dinner and learn some technical basics. This workshop will probably evolve into series of workshops - maybe monthly? Bring your laptop. Google Drive will be the focus this week. Sunday, October 27, 5pm. Address: 16479 - 92A Ave, Surrey, BC. Bring a pot-luck something. I'll make a hearty soup.
- Contact Dale at dale.c.adamson@gmail.com for details.

The Squalicum Yacht club is the smaller of the two Yacht Clubs side by side on S. Harbor Loop Drive. (South Harbor Loop Drive is connected in a circle with North Harbor Loop Drive.)
How to get there:
From the North, go South on I-5, take the Meridian Street Exit and turn right. From Meridian, take the 3rd right (2nd traffic light) onto Squalicum Way. Follow Squalicum Way and it will merge onto Roeder Street. Shortly thereafter, there will be signs for Squalicum Harbor and Coho Way. Take a right onto Coho Way. The very first possible right turn which is identified with a street sign "N. Harbor Loop Drive", take that right and at the end of that very short road you are in a parking lot. If you would turn left you will see the Squalicum Yacht Club in front of you.
From the South, you can take Holly Street through town to "F" Street. Turn left onto F street toward the water and across the train tracks to Roeder. Turn right onto Roeder Ave Continue on Roeder to Coho Way (City Mac Store) Turn Left onto Coho Way. The first possible right is "N. Harbor Loop Drive". Take that right and drive that short "road" to the end, and turn left into the parking Lot. The small building in front of you is the Squalicum Yacht Club.
