Camosun Gyro Club of Victoria, British Columbia
Last Call!
Our speaker will be none other than Jack Knox, the award-losing journalist whose column entertained/disappointed readers of the Victoria Times Colonist for more than 25 years.
His bestselling books include the essay collection On The Rocks With Jack Knox and two volumes, Hard Knox and Opportunity Knox, that were nominated for the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour. His most recent humour collection, Fortune Knox Once, wasn’t nominated for a damn thing.
Since joining the Times Colonist in 1988, Jack has worked as a copy editor, city editor, editorial writer and editorial page editor. Prior to that he was an editor and reporter at newspapers in Campbell River, Regina and Kamloops.
As a journalist he has debated policy with prime ministers and premiers and has interviewed a murderer in his cell. He liked the murderer. Career highlights include being blasted with blowhole spray by Luna the whale (it tasted like fish), interviewing a porn movie star in the nude (her, not him) and getting a phone call from Barack Obama four days before he (Obama, not Jack) was elected president.
Don't forget your $5 for the bottle draw.
To celebrate the upcoming season, you are invited to the Ladies Winter Lunch, Friday, November 21, at 12:00 noon at Bill Mattick’s Restaurant!

We look forward to catching up with those who are able to join us for lunch!
