Information Evening without the Ambassador. Our information evening was a intimate gathering but turned out to be very successful and interesting. Thanks goes to Eugenie Panitcherska from the Embassy for giving us and update on events in Canada as well as activities at the Embassy here in Norway. Thanks also for Miriam Segal and Barbara Woll for supplying dessert for us to enjoy. We are losing our Pub-meister Derek. He is stepping down from organizing our monthly Club-Nights. But we will continue to forge ahead. We are looking for a new person that will take his place. In the meantime, we will be setting a rotating schedule between 3 places. These will be announced early in the new year. Anyone wishing to fill Derek's shoes as our new Pub-meister, please get in touch. Club Night January Club Night, got us off to a good start for 2012. A total of 12 people showed up at Brighton Pub, January 11th. Fun evening with a few new faces as well! Next Club Night is February 11th for St. Valentine's Day. More information to follow. Club Night November Club Night was held at 3 Brødre Piano Bar on November 8th. Our favourite Canadian Piano player, Barry, played our favourites and the poppies sold were a hit as well.

A nice meal and evening with some familiar faces as well as some new ones! Club Night September Club Night was held at Internasjonalen, Youngstorget 2 on Thursday September 15th. Club Night in August turned out to be a success after all, even given the short notice of the change of venues. Our group enjoyed the sunshine at Aker Brygge with some new faces showing up as well. We hope that Derek has a speedy recovery and is back next month! Club Night at Gloria Flames on Thursday July 14th, was well attended. Seems like not everyone has left the country for the summer. Good to see some new faces out for this one. Canada Day on June 19th was not blessed with the best weather, but almost 200 showed up for the annual picnic at the Official Residence. Clouds, rain and sun came and went throughout the day. Thanx again to Derek and his group of organizers for putting on another successful Canada Day. Club-Night! for May was held at Kafe Asylet at Grønland, first outdoor get together for our Club Night in 2011. Looking forward to seeing everyone in June. Club Night June 14th was a nice evening out on the patio. Olivia on Hegdehaugsveien served up good food and it was nice to see new and old faces. Seemed like a lack of Vancouver people out for this one! Maybe they are at home a little nervous about tonight's game? Ski Weekend was a tremendous success for another year. Weather was perfect, conditions, food and company was also excellent. Those that missed it, can only hear from those in attendance as to how good it was! Thanx to Bruce for putting together the trip this year. Everyone is looking forward to next year already. Pictures will be posted soon. Pictures are updated for Halloween, Christmas Dinner and Informaton Evening with the Ambassador. Check them out! Upcoming events in 2011!
