The newest Sir Winston Churchill Society (of Ottawa) is well and
truly launched. And Allen is quite correct in observing that, as near
as we can tell, all of the Pol Roger went down the assembled hatches.
It appears that nary a drop was wasted. And Allen himself launched us
with an inspiring address at the Residence of the British High
Commissioner in Ottawa. The evening was a sell-out and we are now
returning to our cocoons to plan the next Ottawa event(s).
Do bear in mind that December 30th will be the 70th anniversary of
two important Churchillian events, one the delivery of the P.M.'s
"Some chicken! Some neck!" speech in the Canadian House of Commons,
and the other the taking of the iconic photograph of Churchill by
Yousuf Karsh following the speech. All in all, a momentous year in
which to launch the SWCSO. As soon as our website is up, I will
advise the list.

Somehow when I see the word "launch", I always think of smacking a
bottle of champagne across the bow. Hope that didn't happen in Ottawa.
Best Churchillian wishes to Ottawa - we're thrilled to have you on board!
