I
hope everyone’s summer has been going well. So far, Wayne and I
have had a great one! We have hardly been home!
The
rally at the Cowichan Exhibition grounds in May was fun, we were all
well fed and the weather was good. Prizes were given for the Best
Western outfits, won by Andy Delange and Audrey Hauge. We played
lawn games and bet on some exciting horse races.
In
June, a hardy few attended a small rally at Driftwood Bay in
Strathacona Park. We had 12 rigs attending. It was cool and wet, but
again, it was fun and we ate well. The scavenger hunt at that site is
always a good laugh.
We
have just returned from the rally at Seal Bay, with 14 rigs
attending. The weather was very warm so we had no lawn games, but
the group did T-shirt stenciling one evening and the next evening we
had a painting group. Both events were good fun and well attended.
As always, we enjoyed lots of tasty food.
A
Park
& Play
has been arranged for the Cowichan Bay spit on Labor Day weekend. We
go in on Friday, September 2nd
and we may stay until Tuesday, September 6th
if we choose. This is “DRY” camping, there are NO services. The
gate is controlled and in & out times will be determined by
attendees at the time. It is called a Park
& Play
because there are no amenities, no theme, no organized entertainment,
no meals planned and no tent for shelter other than your own. The
only thing provided is a tarmac surface, views of the wildlife &
ocean and I would bet…a lot of good laughs! The cost to PARK is
$10 per night, pretty inexpensive for a long week-end out! If you
are interested in the PARK & PLAY, please email me at
smquesnel@gmail.com I need a
rough estimate of numbers before August 26th.
The
final rally this year is at the Cowichan Exhibition grounds again.
Entry is Friday, September 16th
leaving Monday, September 19th.
We are having a change of venue this time as the parking will be
“dry” and at the north end of the facility. We will have use of
the Scout Hall, with the lovely kitchen and projector screens instead
of the barn. There will be a beautiful view this time. Electrical
hook-ups are scarce at that end and will be given, for
an extra charge,
to those requiring power for medical purposes.
The
cost for this rally is $120 per couple, per coach, and $100 for
singles. Send your cheques before September 7th,
payable to:
