love 2 scrap spring retreat booked...

well, we decided against a winter (february) retreat. we tried doing a january one this year and it didn't fly so we have booked a spring one instead. it is not at the usual place. we are going to wind in the willows this time. we went there for our fall retreat back in 2003. it is a smaller place and a little further from edmonton (only half hour further). it is beautiful and quaint. there is a restaurant on site that had great food and a wide menu selection. at this retreat we will not be doing workshops as the space is limited for that in the meeting room. our meeting room is smaller so our sign up/attendees list is going to be smaller. we will start registering for this retreat november 8th. we have double rooms (2 people to one bed) and quad rooms (4 people to 2 beds). there is shopping at this retreat. i have been told the quaint little gift store is still there. this is a great secluded area that is absolutely beautiful in the summer. wind in the willows is on buck lake. our usualy spot we used is booked from march-july solid so it was not an option for retreats. donna (peama) if you know of some place out in your area please let me know. like i said, we are allowing fewer people on this one because our meeting room is smaller and i know how much stuff everyone brings. due to the fact that this is a smaller venue and not as swanky, the price is going to be a little cheaper on this retreat.

here is the meeting room without the tables in it. they set up this room with 2 rows of straight tables all the way down the room. there is natural lighting/windows all the way across the exterior wall (not shown).







at the resort there are the following available for rooms:

non-smoking: double (5 rooms)
non-smoking: quad (3 rooms)

smoking: double (2 rooms)
smoking: quad (2 rooms)


here is a view at one of the rooms


if you have any questions please email me at irememberwhen@shaw.ca



Donna.... we are looking at possibly another venue for another date. Do you know of anything in the Camrose area that would be nice?



The retreat is scheduled for April 13th-15th, 2007. We are looking at filling all the non-smoking rooms and possibly one smoking room. We are not allowing cots in the rooms to add more people to your room. If you want a cot just so you don't have to sleep together that is fine but there will be a small additional charge. Sorry. I hope to have the price listed by November 9th.
