It turned out to be a sunny evening after all and it's just such a wonderful setting. We arranged to meet Maureen but we did have a back up plan to go to The Sylvia if it wasn't' pleasant. Good food as usual and we got a table this time and met some interesting people. We learned the club rents the space from the Vancouver Parks Board for $5 a year....now, that's a deal!
They are celebrating their 100th Anniversary this year. Reading some of the history I learned that there was an Elk Paddock on this site before the bowling pitch was created.
