Twenty Club Picnic

The annual picnic is held at Stratton Brook State Park in Simsbury, CT. We begin to assemble at noon at or near the Picnic Shelter. The club provides Hamburgers and Hot Dogs with rolls, condiments, paper plates and plastic wear. We also provide Charcoal for barbeque. We ask everyone to bring something to share (baked beans, potato chips, salads, etc.) and their own drinks. If the weather is agreeable there is the opportunity to swim in the near-by pond. Officially, the State claims to be collecting parking fees ($9.00 per CT registered Vehicle), but in some recent years no one has been there to collect. There is no guarantee on this situation this year, come prepared! You may want to bring your own comfortable folding chair.

The day is always a pleasant change of pace and an opportunity for casual conversation. Place this event on your calendar now!
