LADIES’ DRIVE

President, Garth Webber Atkins

On July 10, seven cars and 12 members met at the Valleyview Centre in Cobble Hill for a drive through the countryside and along the ocean to Ladysmith. The weather was good, with occasional sunny periods, adding to the light mood of the outing.

We had lunch at The Boatshed Waterfront Grill, on the far side of Ladysmith Harbour, where another member joined us for lunch. The restaurant has wonderful views of the harbour and a varied menu. The blackened cod burger was a popular choice, and I enjoyed my salmon benedict. I think quite a few of us took note of the deck and will try to come back when the weather supports outside dining. Thanks to Marilyn Sing for running sweep, and to her navigator Katherine for handling communications.

The ladies attending kindly responded to a mini-survey I provided to them and results indicate that there is interest in a range of activities for ladies events in the future, and that, while several members are flexible, Sunday is the best day for most members.

Thanks to all who turned out. I intend to plan another one next year, and hope this will become an annual event.
