Canada Day celebrations this weekend

Hope you’re all enjoying the week so far! If you’re at a loose end tonight, please feel free to come and check out my appalling bartending skills at The Reefs from 7pm until 9pm. This is part of their Guest Bartender Series and $1 from each drink sold will benefit the Sunshine League so it’s a good excuse to have a poorly-made cocktail (just kidding, their professional bartender will be on-hand to make sure I don’t mess up too much) and a beautiful view for a good cause. Hope to see some of you there. Here is the latest rundown on what else is happening in Bermuda:It’s that time of year again when Flanagans Onions FC (the team formerly known as M.R.
