Every great party needs a great DJ.  We can't wait to get moving on the dancefloor with a live DJ and LED dancefloor lighting to get the party started.

Live DJ with chill vibes for dinner and mixing.  Next, get ready to break it out on the dancefloor - and make sure to fill out a song request.

ONEC is no stranger

to Parties!

​

From the historical archives:

​

"The social season began with the annual Fair. Under the general direction of Eric Roy the club organized bridge and dancing for every day of the event (yeah, they partied for a whole week).

 

There was a tea room, fortune telling, a raffle table, sales of fancy work, blanket wheels and housie-housie (that's bingo! back in the 1920s). The clubhouse was decorated with panel paintings by Mr. John Crabtree and Mrs. C.A. Crabtree the parents of John and Grant who were emerging as a strong paddling team."
