Television Taping - Royal Canadian Air Farce

The 6th Erin Mills Scout Troop has obtained tickets to attend a live television taping of the CBC comedy, Royal Canadian Air Farce. This comedy troupe has been performing for the past 25 years on radio and on television. The programs are taped before a live studio audience the day before broadcast. For anyone not familiar with their show, they can be seen on CBC-TV on Friday evenings.

As there is a high demand for tickets, the CBC asks that we give them advance notice of our actual numbers so that they can release tickets to people who are on a waiting list. All permission forms must be returned to our regular meeting no later than Monday March 9, 1998 for this outing to take place on:

THURSDAY MARCH 19, 1998

THE PLAN:

This trip takes place during the March break. Total cost for the evening is only $5.00 per person.

We will meet at the Clarkson GO Station, at the south building (where the buses loop) at 4:25 PM. This will allow the leaders sufficient time to obtain the necessary GO Transit tickets. We must get up to the platform for the train to Union Station that arrives a few minutes later.

We will pull into Union Station a few minutes after 5:00 and walk to the CBC Broadcast Centre a few blocks away. Actual seating is on a first come, first seated basis beginning around 5:30 PM. The taping does not begin until 6:30. Between our arrival and the taping we will have an opportunity to watch all the preparations that go into a live television broadcast.

We will leave the CBC around 8:00 PM and catch the train at Union Station leaving at 8:43, arriving at the Clarkson Station around 9:12 PM. Please be waiting for your Scout INSIDE the south GO Station building.

FULL SCOUT UNIFORM IS REQUIRED. BRING A BAG LUNCH TO EAT SOMETIME BEFORE THE TAPING.

For any parents who may wish to attend, please write your name on the permission slip. If any tickets are available once we have heard from all our Scouts, we would be pleased to have you join us space permitting. You will be responsible for your own GO Transit ticket.
