Carol H.,

Sounds good, but has Fort Langley (town) rebuilt the grocery store that burned down, and whatever else that might have been damaged and/or destroyed?

Mike P.

[Carol H]

Mike, it was just the grocery store that burnt down and when I was there last summer it still had not been rebuilt. Large grocery stories are about 7 miles away in the main town of Langley though.

[Ynotrusty]

The store is all rebuilt and open for business.

[Douglas P]

This sounds great, Donna and me,Doug ,will be attending ,looking forward to meeting all of you and some of the old croud from last year at Marwane,AB. This will be our second gathering and looking forward to it, any suggestions on anything special we should bring, being newbees an all, a gesture would be nice.

[Carol H]

Hi Doug, look forward to meeting you. This years meet is going to be a little more laid back or I should say fewer organized events than the past few years - thus the reason we have put it back to a public park. So you will have sometime to explore the area. Some of us will be arriving on the Thursday although the meet doesn't actually start until Friday. We will probable have a group fire on Friday night and of course the Trailer tours on Saturday as well as a pot luck Saturday night. We do try and have a prize draw so if you wish you can bring something small or large for that. Firewood for the group fire is always welcome. If you have name tags that would be great. Bring a rain jacket and a bathing suit as the weather can go any which way! LOL

[Douglas P]

Thanks Carol, info appriciated, we will also be there on Thursday with our 74 Trillium and looking forward to meet all of you. We will bring some fire wood and working on getting a prise or two for someone to win, see you then.

Is this the first year back at Fort Langley since it was last held there? I attended there in early June, 2009, when I went to Escape to pick up my then new trailer.

[Carol H]

Yes it is Jim, the BC meets in recent years have been held at a private campground near Mission called the Sons of Norway.

We are heading back to Fort Langley this year to give the meet organizers a little break. The Mission location is great and well loved by attendees & lots of fun times and stories have come out of the meets held there the past few years. Mission is more rural of a setting allowed for big late night fire pit & a private group party without bothering other campers who where not attending the meet. But with that came a lot of added responsibility/liability & work for the meet organizers as they were also responsible for collection camping fees, assigning spots and make sure the few rules that were in place were followed.

Decided to switch it up a little and head back to Fort Langley this year as it was also enjoyed more by those who need power to camp which was only available to a limited number of spots at the Mission location. The Fort is also very popular with those who like to go shopping as Fort Langley is a neat little town.

It is a nice location at Fort Langley. I do remember dealing with a rather unnecessarily snarky employee though. Could be what I bring out in people though.

LOL you were not allow in bringing out the best in the employees. To be honest that was one of big reasons we took a break from going there for a few years. They have indicated that they are very pleased to have us return so we will see how it goes....

[Carol H]

Looks like we are going to have a good turn out. I talked to the park today and they only have 3 spots left that they were holding for us in the Kingfisher loop. If not booked by the end of the month they will release them to the public.

If you are thinking of joining us you give them a call quickly.

[Carol H]

Confirmed with Fort Camping that they have had 32 Glass Eggs make reservations so far.
Should be fun!

[Briantb]

Go to the bakery beside the BC Liquor store and have a cinnamon bun for me!

Fran you most definitely are welcome to come, we have a number of people from the south (as far as Texas actually) who regularly attend our meets! Just book it fast - I talked to Fort Camping earlier this week they only had 3 spots left in the Kingfisher loop we are all staying in. They do have other spots open in the park just not in the same loop most will be in. They are on winter hours so you actually need to call monday to Friday during the day to make reservations for the meet or you could go to their website and book online anytime - just make sure you put in the notes section you are attending the BC Glass Eggs meet.

[francene]

Thanks for the information, Carol. I'll look into booking.

[Carol H]

Pot Luck on Saturday night to be held at 6 PM This will be held by the Scamp 16' if the weather is good otherwise it will be held in the room above the washrooms in the Salamander loop. Bring your own plates, cutlery, drinks. Also chairs if we eat outside.

Things to bring:
* Name tags
* Pot luck Food for Saturday - enough for 8-10 people.
* Bocci Balls if you have them.

* Friday night if the weather is poor - we may need a few pop up shelters to keep folks dry at the campfire.

Looking forward to seeing many of the old faces we haven't seen in awhile as well as many new faces.
