Just to make you aware (and there will be a comprehensive package forthcoming) the Rifle Range is roughly 20K from the towns of Vedder and Sardis. There are several reasonable hotels in the area, plus for those that wish to camp. there is a stunning bivouac area at the range amongst the beautiful west coast rain forest. There are portable bivvies but no water or power.
CyaN1de has mentioned that his trailer will hold 15 and he is willing to sleep under his truck to accomodate out of towners
Anyway, i will be trying to set up group rates at some of the hotels around the area. I might suggest that if you plan on flying, if you can get directly to Abbotsford Airport, it saves a whole bunch of city driving. A group getting together and renting a passenger van for the 4-5 days would be a great way to get back and forth.
There will be a few local residents participating and I would like to encourage the idea of possibility billeting some of our out-of-town guests... Any local folk willing to do this, i would sure like to hear from you and we will set up a billet hook-up system.
Because we are so far from town, I will be arranging an on-site concession. We will have soft drinks and such supplied for free but in the interest of keeping entry fees modest, we will likely not do catered lunches (Unless I hear this is what everyone wants).
I must stress that while this is our target dates, we are counting on the Canadian Forces to have these dates open, and this could potentially change. We will make sure this is well publicized, and dates will be solidified before we even accept entry forms.
I will set up a website with all the info in the new year.
Cheers,
Ian
