Temporary Lot Rentals

There appears to be some confusion by Members wishing to rent the temporary lots A,B & C
See the bye-laws section 9 sub section 'e' referring to rentals by Day Members.
Although it says the temporary sites are rented on a weekly basis with a maximum of 2 weeks per stay, the only time the rental can be for 2 weeks is the first rental of the year. See line 3 for that detail.
After that, rental is by the week only and on a first come, first served basis.
If no one has requested a site that a Member is occupying by Thursday evening that Member can renew on that site for another week and so on.
If a Member requests an occupied site by no later than Thursday evening, it has to be vacated by the Member that is occupying it by Sunday morning at the latest.
To rent for guests or visitors, see Sec 9 (d) which is self explanatory.
If you have any questions about temporary lot rentals, contact your Treasurer, Shauna C.

Fire Danger

A word of warning about fire safety now that we have extremely dry conditions around the Park and several fires burning in the Province not too far from us.
A member noticed smoke rising from the fire pit on the beach a couple of days ago and, sure enough, it was smoldering under all the accumulated ash.
I don't know when the last fire was lit on the beach, but it was several days before and emphasizes the necessity of swamping the fire and ensuring it is completely soaked before leaving it.
Also, if you are a smoker, please make sure you take your butts with you, do not throw them on the ground assuming they are out.

Fire Ban effective immediately, July 5th. 2018

Our local Fire Dept has put a total ban on all open fires effective immediately.  This includes the Billeton property on which the Quirke Lake Senior's Park is located and is in effect until further notice.

Post Canada Day

Canada Day is now past us for another year and it was a great success at our Park. Lots to eat, great fruit punch and a crowd of over 65 people to enjoy the feast and great conversation.
We had planned some outdoor sports following dinner, but the heat zapped us all and most of us retired to the shade or headed home and in some cases, swimming or snoozing.
Thanks to Nancy, great imagination with the cupcake cake, plus all her helpers, and to the Members for the great pot luck dishes.

The Fire Dept. is showing Very High as the fire risk right now, so please take care at the Park, keep the sparks down and make sure the fire is soaked before leaving it.

Canada Day

The celebration of Canada Day at the Park on Sunday July 1st. will go ahead as planned, starting at 4.30pm.
Although the weather is cooperating, we will experience very high temperatures and you should take steps to avoid this affecting your health.
Please make sure you are keeping hydrated, in other words drink water or other liquids, other than alcohol, which should be used in moderation in high temperatures.
Stay in the shade and wear light clothing.
Avoid unnecessary strenuous activities. Lifting your knife and fork does not count as strenuous!
