[song-circle] song ircle at Caroline PArry's this Friday

[Caroline Parry]

Hello all --the usual timing of 6:30 for potluck and 7:30 for singing  
applies --looking forward to seeing you all!
I have a dear old friend, Eunice MAthers, from my Hull, Yorkshire days  
visiting.  I'm not sure how well I am fixed for dishes and utensils,  
however, as many things here are packed.  If anyone has plastic dishes  
or extra cutlery they could bring, that we can wash rather than throw  
away, can you let me know? And if we can meet outdoors, if it isn't  
rainy, please bring extra lawn chairs.

Directions:  to 90 Britannia Road, which runs N. off Carling, right  
after Carling crosses Richmond.  If you are driving West on C it is  
easy, but not otherwise, as C is divided.

So, turn R on Britannia Rd, immediately after Carling crosses  
Richmond.  Going down, or North, on Brit Rd. you will be in suburbia  
for about 6 blocks til the first stop sign, at Poulin/Howe, which is  
also at the bike path --that's where the old trolley line ran to bring  
city folks to Britannia Beach.  Then you're in the village of  
Britannia  proper; continue north on Brit Rd two long blocks to  
another stop sign at Jamison St (river/bay to your left); go one more  
long bock to a small intersection at Rowatt, no stop sign.  I am the  
second house on the left after Rowatt --use either drive to park. (If  
you get to the Yacht CLub, you've gone too far).

Coming from the Queensway, or #417, take the Pinecrest/Greenbank  
exit.  Then head N towards the river on Pinecrest --but you can't turn  
R on Carling and get to Britannia Rd because of the dividing barrier.   
Nor can you go straight down the hill into the park, because there's a  
buses only lane that separates the areas.  You will go through 3  
lights and 3 stop signs.

So merge R on Richmond [first light], cross Carling at the next light  
(an X shaped intersection) and turn L on Poulin at the next light.   
Follow Poulin through one stop sign and a sharp L turn to Britannia  
Road [next stop sign], where you will be at the bike path, and turn R,  
proceed as above, going north on Brit Rd.
