Springbank Heritage Club – Aug 2019

We are a non profit organization operated by volunteers. Our beautiful facility is at 244168 Range Road 33, 403.242.9350, springbankhc@telus.net

Regularly scheduled activities:

  • Choral Group, Tuesdays, 10 – 12. No singing skill level required, just enthusiasm. Contact Joan 403.851.3818.
  • Games, Tuesdays, 1 – 3pm. Crib, bridge, canasta, pool, shuffleboard, and carpet bowling.
  • Jam Sessions, Fridays 1pm. For instrumentalists and vocalists. Contact Roy Burke 403.242.9091.
  • Potluck Dinners, 4th Wed. each month.

We are always looking for and welcome new members. If the regularly scheduled activities aren’t for you, then maybe you would enjoy participating in our varied special events programs. As always the club extends a grateful note of appreciation to the Springbank Lions club for providing both bus and drivers for off site special events. In the past year these have included tours of the new Calgary Central Library, the Devonian Botanical Gardens, the Cayley Hutterite Colony, and a lunch presentation at ROARR, the Robinson Outreach At RiverCross Ranch. At the club facility we have had several Hand and Foot Canasta Tournaments, an educational owl presentation by the CWRS, the Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Society, complete with live owl Ophilia, and in May our hugely successful 10th Anniversary Celebration Traditional Strawberry Tea.

Our upcoming special events for the remainder of 2019 include a September Fall Color Tour, an October YYC tour, a November educational hawk presentation by the CWRS, and in December our annual Christmas Dinner. In addition, from Oct 2019 – March 2020 we are welcome to participate in the Friday morning curling, 9:30-11:30 am at the Springbank Curling Club. Contact Tim Presber 403.827.2755 or tpresber@shaw.ca.

A big thank you to Ian, Jim, Val, Peter, Gerry and Bill who set up the computerized electronic billboard at our gateway.

The club facilities are available for rental. Please contact Val Finch 403.288.1288
