Okanagan Trip - September 6-7, 2008

Come along on BCWAS’s third annual Bus Tour!

This year we’re doing the Kelowna/Westbank area. Highlights will include lunches at Summerhill Pyramid Winery and Quail’s Gate Winery, and a fabulous five-course dinner at Bonfire Restaurant, paired with some top BC wines.

One night’s accommodation at the Sandman is included for Saturday night. We have negotiated a discount group rate for people wishing to stay Friday and/or Sunday nights. Phone the Sandman at 1-888-526-1988 and quote group number 226030.

Cost is $375 Members / $400 Non-Members based on double occupancy. Add $60 for single occupancy.

Since we need already to arrange bookings with the hotel, restaurants and bus company and specially with we request that a non-refundable deposit of $150 per ticket be paid before July 15th 2008 (balance is due August 15th)

Since we have limited the number to 40 people you may want to book early with your deposit not to be disappointed.
