Rally Update

Hi Everyone:

 

We are getting things finalized now so hopefully this will be the last update before the rally.

 

The schedule for the potluck to be held on Friday night is as follows:

 

Main dishes - those with last names starting with B, C, D, G, O, P, Q

 

Salads - those with last names starting with A, I,, R, S, V & W

 

Desserts - those with last names starting with H & M

 

 

Upon arriving at the rally you have to register at our motor home (Marge and Wayne Hendricks) and receive your "goody bag"  Bring your gifts wrapped in newspaper and they will be exchanged for one ticket per gift.

These are to be used on Saturday evening.  A schedule of events will also be in your bag.

 

Don't forget the yard sale on Saturday morning from 10 - noon.  You will need a table to set up in front of your motor home.  This is a great way to get rid of all those items that you haven't used and likely won't use again.  I know some of you like to exchange books so by all means bring your books too.

 

The following are directions to the Easter Seal Camp:

 

Coming from either north or south - turn off at the South Shawnigan Lake turnoff on the Malahat.  There is a flashing light at the turnoff.  You are then on Shawnigan Lake Rd.

Continue on this road for approximately 6 km's.  At this point you can disconnect your tow vehicle on the right.  It is advisable to disconnect before proceeding to the rally which is approximately another 4 km's on East Shawnigan Lake Rd.  Watch for FMCA signs.

 

Do not use other roads to the rally as there is a low overpass (11ft) that most would not get under.

 

PLEASE DO NOT ARRIVE BEFORE NOON - at that time there will be parking attendants to direct you to the rally.

 

I will have my cell phone on at all times so please feel free to call if you get lost.......250 701 2074

 

If you have any questions please give me a call at 250 748 3398 or e-mail me.

 

See you at the rally!!!

A Summer Rally was held at Kin Beach Provincial Park, Comox the weekend of July 16 – 18, 2008.

There were 33 coaches attending and our hosts were Lee & Barbara Burnham, and co-hosts, Joe & Stella Blogg.

The weather was wonderful and the setting was beautiful, very close to the ocean.

On Wednesday we were treated to a delicious “Seafood Chowder” made by one of our newest members, Mick Hargreaves.  Buns with meat, cheese, tomatoes & cucumbers followed with cheesecake and carrot cake for dessert.  The evening was spent playing cards and visiting.

 Thursday morning breakfast of pancakes, fruit, whipping cream and sausages was a hit.  Following breakfast we had our choice of two very interesting tours.  One tour was to Filberg Park in Comox which included lunch at the Tea House followed by a very interesting tour of the House and Grounds.  The other tour was to the Air Force Museum including a guided tour of the Museum and Spitfire Aircraft.  Prior to that tour, there was lunch at the Griffin Pub. 

 Upon returning to the grounds, Happy Hour was on, followed by a delicious Pot Luck Supper.  Pies and ice cream ended the meal.

 After supper the answers to the “Do you Know BC” questionnaire were given.  The winner was Else Strand and the person with the least number right (3) was Russ McAvella who received a “Poor Man’s GPS” (a map of BC).  The evening ended with visiting and card games (several members were introduced to King’s Cribbage – an excellent game).

 Sunday Morning featured a “Continental Breakfast” of muffins, bagels, croissants, yoghurt, fruit salad, and beverages.

 A short meeting was held after Breakfast and then it was time to take down the equipment and head for home.  Several members stayed at Kin Beach for a few more days to enjoy the sun and several other members carried on their journey up-island to enjoy some of the sights of the Island.

 There were two 50/50 draws at this rally and the winners were Shona Franz and Kathie Balogh.

 It was a very enjoyable rally and many thanks to the Burnhams for doing such a good job.
