European Vacation Sept 14-18

Come one, come all on a European Vacation with your fellow Vancouver Islanders at Seal Bay RV Park in the Comox Valley from September 14 to 18, 2015!

Laurel has put together a European-themed rally filled with fabulous food and loads of fun.  There will be a cribbage tournament, trivia, bingo, bocce ball, cork trivet making, and a special Afternoon Tea.

Lady Laurel of Pointe and the Earl Wayne of Scotting will host the Tea on the first day.  You (or your royal  personage) are welcome to attend.  Ladies are urged to design and wear a hat, or fascinator, that includes a piece of recycled garbage (something you would put in your recycling bin).  Lady Laurel requests no green bin scraps, e.g., no meat hats (lol).  The winning headpiece will be chosen by attendees.

Partners will be chosen at random for the cribbage tournament, which will be held the first day of the rally.  More fun events await your participation.

Make your plans now to attend the Vancouver Islanders’ European Vacation.  Since only 32 sites are reserved for Vacationers, be sure you are included in the fun!

The reservations process is a bit different this year, as Seal Bay RV has asked Lady Laurel to gather all the information from us, and she will pass it on to them.  She will also coordinate any extra days before and after the rally that you want to stay at Seal Bay.  RV sites rates are $33.30 for full hookups and $30 for no hookups per night (a sanidump is available).  Rally costs aren’t finalized yet, but are estimated at $80-90.

To attend, please fill out the information below and reply to Laurel Macauley by August 17th.
