Nomads' Pudding Club Wednesday, July 12th

Gentlemen,

Time to book your ticket and get your wallets out for our fourth annual dinner honouring The Friends of Fletchers Fields: our very own Stan Woodburn and Roger Best as well as John Mead and Tony Moscrop of the Scottish. Between them they have over 100 years of unpaid voluntary work put in at Fletchers for the benefit of their clubs.

I think we should all show our appreciation by attending the dinner in their honour.

Tickets are $100 superb Italian meal and some wine included at Grano on Yonge Street.

Our ticket is waiting; please send me a cheque or e-mail to confirm your attendance. I know the Scottish will be there in numbers so let's show them what the Nomads can do.

The dinner is as always, by tradition, gentlemen only and jacket and tie. I still have a couple of pudding club ties for those who want one.

Any profit will result in a donation to the Nomads and Scottish juniors. A good time is assured for all.

Thank you Ben Kippel and Bruce Hill for buying your tickets already.

Cheers,

John Zimnoch
