WARNING RE WASP NESTS

One of our Members recently suffered several stings after disturbing a wasp nest attached under a picnic table on their lot.
It is suggested you check around your lot for wasp nests as they can be attached to virtually anything on your lot and usually not where they may be readily seen.
Do not attempt to move a nest if not sure what to do. Get in touch with a Board Member or a Member that has been on the property for some time and may have disposed of nests in the past for advice.

There are several campsites that are getting overgrown and look unkempt.

Potluck Canada Day, July 1st. 2016

A potluck (sorry about "potpluck" on the first edition, I was thinking chicken) will be held at Your Park starting at 5 pm. on Canada Day, Friday, 1st. July.

Please bring enough for you and others to share. It is suggested you limit your friends to 2, owing to seating space. Bring extra food for them also.

Dessert in the form of a delicious cake will be supplied, so go more lightly on that course.

Visitor parking is in the field beyond the back gate as space is limited in the park proper.

Have fun!
