They will be held at Juan De Fuca from August 18th thru August 26th, 2023, starting off with the Singles then followed by the Pairs & Fours. This is a big undertaking and a major fund raiser for our Club which will involve much preparation and commitment from our Members and Volunteers as well as some from other BSI Clubs.
