[CCC] The latest in London

Tue Jul 3 18:55:06 BST 2007

Dear all,

Hope you spent a great Canada day!

Please see below for an update from Network 
Canada. There's no "summer break" on the London 
scene - always lots going on and tons of fun!

If you're interested a particular event, but 
maybe don't want to go alone/without a group, 
please don't hesitate to e-mail us and we'll put 
out the word to see if others might want to join 
- it often seems that if a group is going, others 
a more inclined. Just a thought.

Take care,

Mary

Summer spirit

The BBQ coals have cooled since Canada Day. The 
Trafalgar Square celebrations and other weekend 
festivities are now happy memories. But the 
Canadian-London season is far from over. Seize 
the opportunity, before it's too late, to see two 
hit Canadian plays in their final week at special 
discounted ticket prices. Then later this month 
join the who's who of the celebrity and sporting 
worlds at the Guards Polo Grounds in an area 
reserved exclusively for Network Canada members.

There is always reason to celebrate with Network Canada!

I haven't seen a show this good in the West End 
for ages. I'm going back for more. - TimeOut.com

The cast is brilliant, the script is fascinating,
