2018.04.12 - Update - Trip closed and full - PLEASE DO NOT REGISTER OR SEND MONEY. Hello, since yesterdays update, I went from 28 to 45 interested members and non-members signing up. Regretfully this is just to many and I will have to decline some of you. Thank you very much for your interest and support. If anyone knows a site that would hold 50 let me know for next year. 2018.04.11 - Update The main site is full, but not everyone has signed-up and paid yet? A second site has opened and is now full. I have 28 interested members to date. I am looking for someone to open a third site, please and thank you. This year, we have a two piece band to entertain us. If anyone want to add to the ambiance, let me know? Original posting: Hello my fine feathered friends. It is time once again to enjoy the fall colours and have an elegant dinner in the wilderness. This is a social event with gourmet food and a little canoeing thrown in. We had an excellent time last year and several people requested we return to Sherborne Lake in the Leslie Frost Centre area. We have the group campsite #18 booked. The permit allows for 16 people and many tents. For several year we have had overflow sites too. So all are welcome to the canoe tables. The permit cost me $282.50/16=17.66 each. E-transfers, cheques, cash accepted. Paying in advance will confirm your reservation. Please sign-up on the website to prove you are a WCA member. Please email me too and let me know the number in your group or with questions. More details to follow to those who sign-up and pay.
