generously provided the facilities of Wesley House for us, at this very convenient
location.
(Dartmouth Rd. end, beside Christ Church)
There is shelter in case of rain, some chairs, and we have permission to
make tea or coffee on the premises.
The society will provide charcoal
and some cooking stoves,
but additional barbecue cookers
are welcome, as are additional
folding (camp) chairs or folding
tables.
Please contact Denis Mullen at 0868117258
if you intend to bring a cooker.
Members are welcome to bring friends. Members must bring their own food and
drinks. We will be inviting the Chinese Ambassador and the staff of the Embassy
and members of the Chinese Students and Scholars Association, so this should
again provide an enjoyable social occasion, relaxed and informal.

to be built, but also directed Zheng He to explore the oceans of the World!
