Bytown Update

It has been quite a while since we have updated the blog but that is not because we haven't been busy! The Annual Golf Tournament was hosted on Monday September 28th and despite the rain and cold weather all our players were enthusiastic and great sports! A trip for 2 to any WestJet destination was raffled off to one lucky winner!

Black Jack and Fair Jeanne have been hosting a number of weekend programs for different groups. Thad Koza was able to board our ships and take a number of beautiful photos that will be in the tall ship calendars. I will attach few of those photos at the end of this entry.

In other BBI news, Fair Jeanne will be coming up to Ottawa this weekend at she ends her summer season anyone who would like to help please contact the office.

As a final reminder, the Annual Awards Banquet is rapidly approaching and will be held on October 23 at the BYC. For tickets please e-mail the office.

Fair Winds!
