We’re excited to share a special arts opportunity with our members! Thanks to Qu’ART and Glenn Nuotio, we have four complimentary tickets (two pairs) to the upcoming contemporary dance performance Mellowing, taking place February 18 & 19 at 7:30pm at the National Arts Centre.

If you’d like to enter the draw for one of the two ticket pairs, send Xander an email ([email protected]).

Entries will be accepted until Saturday, February 7 at 11:59pm, and I’ll draw names shortly after. Winners can choose which night they’d like to attend, and tickets will be organized with NAC Dance.

In addition, members can access a 40% discount for this performance using the promo code DANCEON40 (limited to 40 tickets).

There is also a free movement workshop for anyone 40+ on Friday, February 19 at noon at the NAC.

This is a wonderful chance to experience a celebrated international dance company and support queer arts partnerships in Ottawa. Good luck to everyone entering the draw!

Please submit your bye requests for Round 3 to Drawmaster Patrick at [email protected] by February 8th. You can view the season calendar on our website.

Out of Town Registration begins at 4pm EST on December 11.

A minimum of 3 players on the team must not be members of a Toronto-based league. Up to 12 team spots will be available for early Out of Town Registration. Once those 12 spots are filled, Out of Town teams may register in General Registration. A public waiting list will be maintained for Out of Town teams in case of any dropouts.
