Port Morien Legion

Port Morien Legion in beautiful Downtown Port Morien


Just as we promised last spring, the UAG headed back to the Port Morien Legion for their spring Dinner Theatre.  There was a large group of us and luckily, we had purchased our tickets well in advance.  So how was it this year?

We entered the Legion and were met by the same big smiles and excitement that we experienced last year.  Our meal was served almost as we sat down, and again, it was a fabulous steaming hot roast beef dinner with large crusty dinner rolls.  Dessert was different this year; we enjoyed a rhubarb and apple crumble with whipped cream.  The bar was open and some of us sampled the refreshments.

With hardly time to finish our cups of tea (excellent tea, by the way), the curtains went up on Michael Parker's "Who's in Bed with the Butler?"  Michael Parker writes slapstick comedy, with lots of people coming and going out of doors, false identities, and some fairly adult humour.  The Port Morien Players put their own spin on things with jokes about local politicians such as Alfie MacLeod and far-away ones such as Donald Trump. And of course, when something went wrong on stage, the play was even funnier.

It turned out to be a long evening but we enjoyed every bit of it. And yes, plans are to go again next year!

And who was in bed with the butler? Well, there was Josephine, and Renee, and Marjorie....

Italian Buffet, Polish Hall, Whitney Pier, Again

Image
      For the third year in a row, the UAG met up at St. Michael's Polish Hall in the Pier for the Italian buffet, part of the annual celebration entitled "Pierscape." Money raised from the buffet goes to the Whitney Pier Society for the Arts and judging by the number of people at the buffet, it's an excellent fundraiser.       Everything that I wrote last year (see May 2016) applies again this year. We have gained a couple of UAG members in the last few months, so it was their first time attending the buffet. However, they had heard about the selection of Italian dishes and the home-made eclairs! And since it was the same cook, may God continue to bless Kay, the food was delicious once again - our new members were not disappointed. Furthermore, the members of UAG were not quite so shy this year.  When Kay told us that she didn't want to see any food left on the buffet table, several of us filled up plates to take home with us. Imagine, we will each have an Itali

Point of View Beggars' Banquet

15 Commercial Street Extension, Louisbourg For our August outing, a group of ten UAG members headed to the Point of View Suites in Louisbourg for an evening of music, skits and large platters of delicious food. It was a wonderful evening! Thanks to Meg for providing these images: Everyone has to get in to costume before dinner! So much music and laughter! Everyone enjoyed their meal selections. And yes, there was even lobster! This outing was a tremendous success and will definitely be on our To-Do List for 2018!

Governors Pub & Eatery - not.

Governors on the Esplanade, Sydney This month's outing was supposed to be to Governors on the Esplanade - Governors has a wonderful reputation and we were all keen to try the menu. Unfortunately, the person who took our booking did not write it down, despite my giving her all of my personal information, along with the date and time of the booking.  So there was no room for us at the pub - what's a group of food adventurers to do on a busy Friday night in downtown Sydney? A quick phone call was made to Trio Restaurant & Lounge, just a five-minute walk down the Esplanade, where the very efficient Troy the Bartender, assured us that he'd look after us. And he did! He sat us at a lovely table in the lounge where we relaxed, ordered drinks and enjoyed our main entrées. The Special of the evening was Prime Rib with Yorkshire Pudding and did it ever look wonderful! While we reviewed the dessert menu, our teas arrived...and there is something quite special about tea i
