Ottawa Branch Events

Wednesday, September 3rd at 1130 at Hylands Golf Course (2101 Alert Rd, Gloucester). Dress is informal, no jeans. Cost is $20 for lunch, please bring cash.

We have chosen to stay at Hylands Golf instead of returning to the Officers Mess. We have informally surveyed the members who usually attend and a clear majority prefered Hylands. For many, it is easier to access and there’s lots of free parking; the food has been very good and the staff very accommodating.

Mercredi, le 3 septembre à 11h30 au Hylands Golf Course (au 2101 Chemin Alert, Gloucester). L’habit est informel, pas de jeans. Le coût pour le lunch est 20$, veuillez avoir du comptant pour payer.

Nous avons opté de rester au Hylands plutôt que de retourner au Mess des Officiers. Une majorité de vous a démontré une préférence pour le Hylands; plus facile d’accès et il y a toujours beaucoup de stationnement gratuit. La nourriture est très bonne et le personnel est très sympatique.
