Gabriolan Doctors are appreciated! At full capacity, Surf Lodge provided an excellent meal and service to honour the medical doctors and their staff on Gabriola. For some doctors it was a farewell, for others with their wives it was an affirmation of the respect and appreciation islanders have for their doctors. For everyone it was a chance to meet and greet at a grand social affair. «more»

Our next No B&W production is Noel Coward’s famous comedy Private Lives, a wonderful vintage piece that continues to amuse and entertain. It does need a very special and experienced cast, which I am delighted to report, we have. The talented trio that performed here in The Love List will be back - Annabel Kershaw, Chris Humphreys and Ian Morton. They will be joined by that multi-talented wild lady - Sarah Rogers. There will be two performances on Gabriola on Saturday, October 4th at 1:30 pm and at 7:00 pm. Tickets will be available shortly and I suggest you get them soon. «more»
