We have booked Ostrum's Lodge in Bamfield. The Lodge is described at the Hawkeye Marine site on the Bamfield Chamber of Commerce tab on this blog and at this address: http://hawkeyemarinegroup.com/accommodations/ostroms-lodge. It is a big rambling two story with 13 bedrooms.
The Old Dutch has advised us that they will not be open in time for the party. Too bad, but many of the people we have spoken with have already booked other places.
The fact that we are celebrating a Birthday and an Anniversary has led us to the decision to call Friday Bill's birthday party and Saturday the Anniversary. The meet and greet and cocktails with entertainment by family and friends will be Friday. Bill has already engaged one of his friends to recite Robert services' immortal poem the Cremation of Sam McGee Friday. Members of the family have been invited to prepare a song or dance or skit. If you have the inclination and the talent(?) to take to an open mike please let us know at your early convenience.
The dance and dinner will be Saturday. We expect some comments from those of you who were wedding guests or members of the wedding party. There is a band and we may have a limited number of other artists performing during the bands breaks.
We are looking into the possibility of renting a 15 passenger van for the trip from Qualicum Beach to Bamfield. Let us know if this interests you.

Band Plays Saturday Night Aug 24
The Band (to be announced) has been scheduled for Saturday night Aug 24. Band booking and other considerations have led to the Dine and Dance moving to Saturday. The Meet and Greet evening will be held Friday Aug 23. Both functions will be held at the event tent at Pheasant Glen.
Calls for Entertainment Committees members have gone out to all families. Performers are needed for the Meet and Greet so start rehearsing.
Rumour has it a golf tournament is being organized for Saturday and or Sunday. Golf Committee members are needed.
Accommodation arrangements are on-going. Everyone is, of course free to make their at any time anywhere. Special arrangements are being negotiated with the newly renovated Old Dutch Inn now Qualicum Beach Inn. However, we have no guarantee the renovation will be completed on time. Therefore, the Accommodation Committee is working on group booking deals with the Bayside Quality Inn at Parksville and the Beach Club Resort at Parksville. Both are Resort style full service Hotels.
Stay tuned for further announcements on this blog site:

We're going to have a whale of a time! Join us for a two part BC celebration beginning in beautiful Qualicum Beach and moving out to spectacular Bamfield.

On Saturday or Sunday (your choice) guests are invited to move out to Bamfield on the west coast of Vancouver Island for part two; the celebration of 59 years of married bliss with guest of honour Donna (honest she said that).
This Blog will attempt to provide links to accommodation options, and cool BC, Vancouver Island and West Coast, fishing, golfing, kayaking, and other tourist activities.
There will be two fishing boats at Bamfield the entire month of August. There are whale watching tours, kayaking in Pacific Rim National Park, Salmon and Halibut fishing, the famed West Coast hiking trail, beautiful Pachena beach a mile long sand beach second to none in BC or anywhere, funky Bamfield and even a full blown Salmon Derby on the September long weekend.
Stay tuned we hope you will join us!
