Dinner plans for Saturday

More info to come from Emily. In short, you are all invited to a gargantuan banquet in the Gothic Church. The plan will be chip in for cost of dinner, bring a bottle, enjoy the plush surroundings, spend half the cash of eating out. Plan?

Weather

You can rest assured I’ve got this covered. It’s always nice on CanLit weekends!
