Len Corben Book launch at North Vancouver's Cheers Restaurant
Sep 26, 2007
By Catherine "Cat" Barr
The North Shore Outlook is delivered to over 60,000 homes in Canada's wealthiest communities, North Vancouver and West Vancouver, every Thursday - over 60,000 issues in print. |
The North Shore Outlook has only the best writers on staff - wink - but did you know that some of them are also book authors too. Former editor Andrew McCreadie and current editor Justin Beddall started the trend, and now, sportswriter Len Corben has joined the ranks with the release of his "Instant Replay" anthology of featured Outlook pieces. Bound to be a hit with everyone, the VIP party at Cheers restaurant in North Vancouver saw some famous faces from the past come out to celebrate. See who you recognize.

Vancouver's best events and celebrity functions are all archived here. Vancouver pubs, clubs, nightclubs, gala events and fundraisers are included. Thanks for viewing.
Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.
If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks. |

The rumour mill is still churning over the stoies and escapades of the "original S.O.B. club" - that's "Some Old Boys" club just in case you're wondering. |
