Saw it yesterday. Will be in Montreal next week and hope to visit. I wrote up my last visit (2010) in The Gauge e-mag (see page 6&7): <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.the-gauge.net/magazine/jul10/jul10.pdf">http://www.the-gauge.net/magazine/jul10/jul10.pdf</a><!-- m -->

Not really a travesty, although the irony factor is high... Not surprising that the club cannot move. It is a huge space, and with only 40 active members, such space is not really affordable at current rates. Without being members, neither of us knows for sure what they have planned.
Every club goes through cycles, and they've had a few already. The warehouse is not their original site, and the layout is the third incarnation in that space. It is remarkable that they've had the continuity - I am sure it will continue in some form or other.
