CCCTS Dinner and Theatre Night

We’re planning a dinner and theatre night. Our own Susan Monaghan performs in “The Turn of the Screw” (see below for a description), at the Ottawa Little Theatre (400 King Edward Avenue, Ottawa).
A downtown restaurant will be booked for a group dinner once attendance numbers have been determined. If you are interested, please:

OLT has reserved seats for that date for a group price of $24.00. (Regular adult price: $32.00, Seniors: $28.00.) These seats will be held for us until November 6th. After which you are still welcome to attend but will need to purchase your tickets full price through the regular process.
THE PLAY starts at 7:30 PM
“The Turn of the Screw” is an adaption of a classic Victorian horror novel written by Henry James. As the website tells us:
Years earlier, a young governess was hired to look after two orphaned children in an idyllic country house where both she and the children began to see frightening and alluring spectres of the former footman and governess. Determined to prove her value, the governess was willing to risk everything to keep her charges safe, but now her horrifying past may be catching up with her.
Hope to see you there!

Buy Nothing Movement
In the spirit of sharing (and decluttering) we will have a table set aside at the fall meeting and potluck dinner for members wishing to give away cycling items they can no longer use such as jerseys and jackets that no longer fit, paniers and bike bags, extra bike tools (do I really need three sets of tires irons?, five extra water bottles etc.). Use your imagination.
Please label all your items so the new owner can thank you for your generosity. At the end of the evening you should take any unclaimed items home for the next event in spring 2026
