Hello all,

First of all, for those who do not know me I am Sharon Valmont I previous member of Cornbury and still always devoted and dedicated to what Cornbury and the group for what Cornbury is and can be. Many members for the executive in the past have been performing there roles with remarkable diligence for many years. After reading and hearing about the directions Cornbury has been going it felt it was time for a new change in faces and skills to lead Cornbury into a new direction in the coming year or two.

Congratulations!!!! and thank you Sharon.
Like Marijka said a new face that was a member awhile back should bring some new life to Cornbury. I believe that all of us want to see Cornbury thrive. It sure would be nice to have new members and see us grow and have some other activities.
I like your idea of getting a link on some other web sites to send people to our site.

Sharon has volunteered to chair a 2nd AGM at our next dinner meeting on May 8, 2012 which starts at 7:00pm. The following are her comments:

I value highly the strength and guidance Cornbury has given me and I still value the group. I will be chairing the next dinner meeting on May 8th. I am hoping we can come to a basic consensus and get Cornbury moving forward through this coming year.

Other than the last topic of Cornbury’s commitment Esprit – Topics or comments about Esprit will not be addressed as this meeting as this not the time or the place

I had been invited over from the Island to spend the day with a friend, a member of the Cornbury Society. One of the things we planned to do, was to attend the Cornbury AGM. (One of the things I’d long wished I could do, but, well…I live on the Island. With ferry fares, meals, and transportation, not to mention the late night return, it’s neither practical nor affordable.) So you will understand I was looking forward to this evening with a feeling of wonderful anticipation. A Cornbury meeting at last! Much as I hate to say so, I left with a feeling of terrible disappointment.

This post is long overdue. There are many good reasons for that: I’ve just returned from an extended visit to Dr. Pierre Brassard’s clinic in Montreal which involved major surgery; I had three hours of jet lag on the return trip; and I’ve been slowly recuperating at home and getting back into a normal routine. … Read more

She is well, anxious to be home, and all is ready. Stephanie is coming home–tomorrow! I spoke briefly to her this evening. Before we signed off, she thanked me for being with her on the journey. She thanked me! Astonishing.

I’m on my way, from misery to happiness today! By the time most of you read this, I will actually, factually, finally be on my way. This is a very big, and quite frankly scary journey I’m making. Monday is my date for surgery – the procedure that will finally bring my body into congruence … Read more

Last night was a very different kind of evening for me. If you know me well, you know I’ve never been a fan of country music. In fact, I have to admit that I’m usually one of those who laughs heartily at those “she stole muh tractor an’ muh dawg died” country music jokes. But because a … Read more

Well, it sounds better than “bar-hopping”, doesn’t it? Besides, there was only one bar, er, pub, involved so there was no actual hopping to speak of. So I saw a posting right on this here Facebook about a band called Lotus that was playing at The Rusty Gull Pub in North Vancouver. Now I had … Read more

Hello everyone;

As all of us are aware The Cornbury Society has been lingering about with little support and direction. This is not the first time this has happened, at least once or twice the club has re-evaluated where it stood and then moved forward again. It is time for a new look and way of operating.
