Thursdays
8:00-10:00 pm | RESUMES IN SEPTEMBER ~ NEW LOCATION
We needed to find a less expensive venue than Seeley Hall, and we found it.
We will now dance at Rosedale Presbyterian Church, opposite Branksome Hall.
It’s an excellent facility where we will be very comfortable. It is just
slightly further from a subway stop than we are used to, but there is
free on-street parking for those who drive. Access from the Don Valley
is good.
We will continue the $20 membership fee plus the $7 per evening
contribution until we establish ourselves into this new location.
We hope to continue the Trinity tradition of 'goodies' and tea if we can use the kitchen.
