WDMA Grand River Cruise - Sunday, May 30th 2027
Following the positive response to the Wilson District Masonic Association River Cruise in 2025, it was agreed at our Fall meeting that we would organize another cruise in 2027.
Association President, R.W. Bro. Ian Chappell, has booked a boat for Sunday, May 30, 2027, departing at 12:00 p.m. This will be a lunch cruise along the Grand River.
The cost is $65.00 per person. The menu has not yet been finalized, but it will likely be similar to what was offered on our previous cruise.
A word of caution for anyone interested: Last time, the cruise sold out in just 36 hours! There is a maximum capacity of 48 passengers, and seats are already selling quickly. If you are interested in attending, please contact Ian directly as soon as possible at iangchappell@gmail.com to reserve your spot.
For those who would like an idea of what to expect, the menu from our previous cruise (which should be similar this time) included:
Upon Arrival
-
Complimentary refreshments from the Dockside Café.
Lunch
-
Home-baked bread and garden salad with a choice of dressing.
Main Course – Choice of:
-
Slow-cooked roast beef with gravy.
-
Baked boneless chicken breast served with potatoes and vegetables.
-
Vegan Moroccan vegetable and bean gumbo, served with vegetable samosas and rice.
Dessert – Choice of:
-
Apple crumble pie.
-
Classic cheesecake.
-
Gluten-free brownie.
Tea, coffee and soft drinks are also included.
Meals are pre-plated and served directly to your table. Gluten-free and vegan options are available. Please note that outside food and beverages are not permitted on board.
This was a very enjoyable outing last time, and I'm sure it will be just as popular in 2027. If you are interested, I would encourage you to get in touch with Ian sooner rather than later!
