Irish Asssociation of Manitoba

Join Gary Dawyduk of the MLCC as he presents a WHISKEY / WHISKY TASTING evening at the Irish Club. Gary will lead us through a tasting of about a dozen samples of Irish, Scotch and maybe even some New World Whiskies. We will sample blends, single malts, and pure pot still whiskeys – some of which were brought into Manitoba especially for the Club and are not available in the MLCC. Join us in what always is a fun & educational evening.

Order tickets early! Seating is limited and tickets must be purchased in advance!
A light repast will accompany the tasting.

To our theatre supporters,
Trusting you enjoyed our first production of the season ‘Olive and Hilary’. The Cast, Crew and Director are to be congratulated on their hard work and commitment and for giving us all a most enjoyable theatre experience. Thanks also to April Gregora, Tom Holder and all who served us with humour and efficiency. A special thank you to Ann Scott for organizing the chicken and fries on the second Friday of the show.
Our next production ‘A Number’ is our entry into the Churchill Festival. This is a two person play written in 2002 by Caryl Churchill. It will feature two of our seasoned actors, Peter Hudson and James Bowman, directed by myself. It is a very intriguing play focusing on the issue of cloning. It was originally produced in London by the Royal Court Theatre (2002) and won the Evening Standard Award for best play. In 2004 the play made its American debut and starred Sam Shepard.

Our Christmas wish for you is not a simple one, for we wish you hope and joy and peace,
Days filled with warmth and sun.
We wish you love and friendship too throughout the coming year,
Lots of laughter and happiness to fill your world with cheer.
May you count your blessings, one by one and when totaled by the lot,
May you find all you’ve been given to be more that what you sought.
May your journeys be short, your burdens light, may your spirit never grow old.
May all your clouds have silver linings and your rainbows pots of gold.
We wish this all and so much more, may all your dreams come true.
May you have a Merry Christmas friends, and a Happy New Year too…
