MONDAY'S MUSINGS

BRENT JOHNSTON - A CELEBRATION OF HIS LIFE

ALL THE DETAILS

The event will take place in a zoned area on the pitch at Windsor Park, Oak Bay, on Saturday, May 24th, commencing promptly at 3:00 and concluding at 5:00 p.m.  The affair will be uncomplicated as Brent would have wished, and it will be a wonderful opportunity to focus on his myriad attributes, to renew friendships, and exchange stories. 

Our expectations are for a large gathering. There will be limited seating available, should you wish, feel free to bring a camping chair as space will be allocated.  Regardless of the weather, the event will proceed, as would any rugby game. There will be tents erected to stay dry. Bring a jacket, as Windsor Park can be chilly.

There will be two ‘entrances’ to the enclosed area where “Memory Pages” will be available to complete. There will be a further table at the rear of the enclosed area. The collage of memories will be collated into a bound book for his family.  We ask attendees to be sure to enter a thought. 

Parking will be limited in the immediate vicinity.  We suggest that folks park at the Oak Bay Marina parking lot and walk two blocks to Windsor Park.  Please be careful not to block driveways. 

There will be a “Brent Dress Code” for the day, a white shirt partly rolled sleeves and a tie with collar unbuttoned. Club ties will be available for purchase. Food and libations will be available, free of charge however, we would ask you consider a donation which will be used towards funding a program near to Brent’s heart. Alcohol will not be served during addresses.  

There have been many generous donors and volunteers for this event, and we thank them all for their donations. Finally, the opportunity to continue the gathering will carry over to the Temple (open at 5:30). We ask that you imbibe responsibly on the day.
