SANDYS SCRIBBLES

Aug. 10, 2009

Wow! What a rally! My legs feel about 6 inches high, but I am still moving! First, all of the Rally Hosts want to thank EVERYONE! All of the help was very much appreciated. If you have pictures send them on. Gary does a great job of the blogspot for us!

Next, be sure you have your $60.00 to:

Marge Hendricks, 4061 Cambrai Road, Duncan, BC, V9L 6G1 by Sept. 1st, so that you can get in on the Shawnigan Lake Rally.

We had a total of 26 rigs attend the Duncan Rally, with 5 cancellations in the last few days. We missed the Morins, Ouseys and McAvellas. We wanted to meet new members, Wolgang and Dagmar Bieman and prior members, Doug and Verena Bridges. Hopefully, all of you will make the September rally and can join in our fun!

We welcomed a few new members, Janet Hodgins & Fred Ebdrup and Ken & Paulette Thomsen as well as prior members who returned, Peter & Lenie Johnson and Gary & Janet Dillon. I think we fed them well and showed them a good time ....... we will see if they come back ....... maybe we scared them off!

Everyone enjoyed our location. We were a little spread out, but the surroundings were great. The sitings included River Otters, Mink and the fire department. There was a small fire on the other side of the river! We had a short business meeting Friday morning, making a few decisions about the trailer and suggestions for rally sites. I forgot to draw the name of the Ken Williams Award Winners! And no one reminded me!

So the Hosts have done it now, and the winner is Mick & Val Hargreaves. Congratulations! I will forward a cheque to you today with your refund of rally fees.

Ken Morrison has forwarded a link regarding trailer towing, which may help stop some confusion about towing for members. Please visit the site and scroll down to towing:

The whole article is interesting.

Gale Dyer, Linda Williams, Linda Bowden and Mick Hargreaves all took prizes home from the card tournament. Please note, I very kindly didn’t say who won a prize for what. I think everyone playing had a great time and I will bring the cards along next time, so practice being quiet until then.

Our first baseball game was a disaster with the 12 Men thoroughly whooping the 12 Women. I must say tho’ some of the women made some spectacular plays! I was very proud of them. Didn’t the guys always get more practice in as kids? I don’t know why they felt so proud of themselves, whooping a few old women at their game! We mixed things up a bit for the next game, and things were a little closer. Many thanks to the spectators who cheered us on.

Saturday afternoon was pretty quiet, some off exploring, visiting locally and attending the RCMP Musical Ride, but did I ever come alive in the evening for the Races! Personally, I did quite well on Mama & Baby Joe-leen, and even managed to finance my “Pass the Ace” games later with my winnings.

Sunday morning found us a little damp, but with a hot breakfast in our tummies, we were soon packed up .... but slow to leave!

Thank you again to all of the Volunteers and I can’t wait for September! Hope to see you all there!

BC Dogwood Islanders Rally

We have had a very interesting proposal from the Vancouver Island Chapter of Newmar owners, the Dogwood - Islanders Kountry Klub. They are also an FMCA Chapter on the Island. Their chapter is hosting a rally a week later than us, on Sept. 17, 18, 19th, in Saanich. Newmar owners from the entire BC Northwest Area have been invited. As an incentive to the mainlanders and north island members, the rally hosts would like to invite prospectives to attend our rally at Shawnigan as well. It would make the ferry fare, or trip to south island seem more reasonable if they were coming for more than just one event. Perhaps, mainlanders would find it more encouraging to visit more of the island as well.

In return, our entire chapter has been invited to attend the rally in Saanich as well. The cost is only $25 and the site is the Vantreight Farms. Details of their rally is in their Newsletter, click the title link above and you will see their newsletter.
