Happy New Year to all you Vancouver Islanders!

I know you are probably still enjoying your winter, but it’s time to start thinking about our beautiful spring, summer and fall on Vancouver Island.

Three rallies have been secured for this season. One more is still in the works, but hasn’t been finalized.

     May 21 - 24 Cowichan Exhibition Grounds, Duncan;

     July 2 - 6 Alberni Fairgrounds, Alberni;

     September 14 - 18 Seal Bay RV and Campground, Courtenay.

We are looking for Rally Hosts for each of the events.  This doesn't have to be just one person doing the whole thing.  A couple or group makes it easier and more fun.  Jump in and help get the party started!

Happy travels,

Barbara Lucas

for Dessert,      A-F  Thursday night
                      G-O   Friday night
                      P-Z   Saturday night

We got the feeling that people don't like too much organization during the
day, so decided to have bocce & horseshoes available.
There are chairlift rides up Mt. Washington - groups of 15 or more get a
discount & they need to know a week ahead of time, so by the 26th if we get
enough people.
There is a distillery at shelter point that offers tours for $10/pp for a
group of 30 or more.
