• DNCB Outing No. 2012-47 To Reifel Island via the Ferry Jetty & TFN Lands

  It was a dark and stormy…and the small group (myself) met at 8:00 am at Petra’s to decide on the day’s  trip.  Because of the heavy traffic the group (myself) decided to  give the others a bit of extra time to arrive.  At 9:30 I felt that our group of one was as big as

• DNCB Outing No. 2011-51 Brunswick Point

  Considering how close it was to Christmas we had a good turnout on a chilly, damp morning.  Ken and Anne, Anne Murray, Mike, Alan, Kay, Donna, Tom and Roger met at Petra’s to decide on the morning’s venture.  Due to Tom having some lame excuse for having to leave early we decided to stay close
