Hiya everyone! This is my last Scribble, as I have finally been replaced with a newer, but old model. I have truly enjoyed my terms with the Vancouver Islanders, but it is time to make way for more enthusiastic people.
I am sorry if you missed at great weekend at Nellies Pond. As you will see from the pictures that will straggle in, it was an idyllic setting and almost too peaceful for sleeping.
We had 11 coaches attending, one of our smallest groups yet. Needless to say, there was too much food, and too much eating! To accompany the Hillbilly theme, we had an assortment of dishes named with reference to Roadkill.
We had a bonfire and B.S. Evening on Thursday, which was very relaxing after the hustle and bustle to get there.
Friday afternoon, we all went hunting for animals to cook for Saturdays dinner. It was very productive! Jim Barber bagged the most kills and managed about 5 game hens. Other kills included bear, bunny, and fawn. Everyone received Hillbilly gifts, for participating.
Saturday morning after a hearty breakfast we called the annual General Meeting to order. The results were that we will get some members better trained to operate our A.E.D. and that there will be a rally July 8-13 at the Lighthouse RV Park in Qualicum Bay. The easy stuff was followed by elections.

Saturday evening a guest, Kerry Levine, came in to cook us an "almost" perfect roast of beast and we whipped up all the fixings. Much appreciated and enjoyed! Following the "BEAST FEAST" we all cosied up to the Hillbilly musicale. Unfortunately, the response was poor, but Clarence and Darlene Zimmerman performed nicely, with Darlene on Tamborine and Clarence playing a waste can drum, pot lid cymbals etc all on his one man band contraption! Well done! Followed by double fires and jokes!
Packed up and pulled out Sunday morning.
Please come back to the site when all the photos are in!
