SUNNY SKIES FORECAST; CLUB’S BBQ-IN-THE-PARK A “GO” TODAY!

MonSFFA’s 2026 Barbecue-in-the-Park is scheduled to take place today, Sunday, July 12, in Parc Maisonneuve! The weather forecasts predict sunny skies, so the club confirms that the event is a “go!” Parc Maisonneuve is located next to the Botanical Gardens complex and across the street from the Olympic Stadium, in the city’s East End (major bus routes along Sherbrooke Est, Viau, or Pie IX; Metro Viau or Pie IX).

We expect to claim a picnic table or two around our usual spot, so look for us there from about 11:00AM to 4:00PM, along one of the lines of trees separated by open field, not too far from the park’s chalet, which houses convenient and well-maintained washroom facilities.

Bring family, bring friends; all are welcome to join us for a relaxing afternoon of fresh air and sunshine, food and refreshments, and fun with fellow sci-fi fans!

As always, individuals are responsible for bringing their own soft drinks, juices, or other libations, as well as any hotdogs, hamburgers, or chicken fillets they may wish to grill—the club will supply a gas barbecue. Folk may also contribute a snack item or two—potato chips, cookies, Timbits, apples, a vegetable plate, etc. You may also cart in your own lawn chair or picnic blanket, should you wish. Feel free, as well, to bring along an outdoor game, such as lawn darts, horseshoes, a kickball or Frisbee. And remember your sunscreen!

We look forward to seeing you all and enjoying a pleasant afternoon in the park later today!
 
And…

VIRTUAL PICNIC

For out-of-town club members in particular, who cannot attend our Barbecue-in-the-Park, we also host, at a later date, a Virtual Picnic online, via ZOOM.
Folk are invited to prepare and enjoy their own picnic lunch at home while taking part in our ZOOM-Chat as a means of touching base with their many MonSFFriends! The conversation is casual, the topics varied, and the camaraderie congenial!

Sunday, July 26; drop in from 1:00PM-4:00PM!
