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.
