WV Library Croquet

THE West Vancouver Memorial Library Foundation held its 6th Annual Ambleside Greens Croquet Tournament on June 7 on the pitch-and-putt course at Ambleside beach. Teams of four dress in costumes and compete in a civilized (well, not too civilized) and fun afternoon of croquet while raising funds for the library and its projects. The Four Seasons' supplies a stunning luncheon buffet, canapes and, after the final match, a superb five-star meal served under the heated tent. Live and silent auction prizes and awards are given out ending a perfect day and a perfect event.

I just love these guys, and their food. Four Seasons' head chef Fabrice Rossmann (from left) and his team, namely Thomas Figovc, Malcolm Bain and Sunny Cheng, serve only the best.
