[Hartwood] 2014 events

[Colin]

The Masonic Hall on Morpeth Ave In Nanaimo has a reasonable kitchen but a
cramped ( long and narrow low ceilings) dining area. Been a long time sine I
was in the one in the old town so I am not sure what their facilities are
like. The Masonic Hall in Parksville has a smallish kitchen, but a very
nice, newly renovated Dining area. Sgain and I have contacts for most of
these halls so if 1 is wanted, speak to us! :-) (Now he will be prejudiced
towards the Courtney Hall and I to the Parksville one, so you would have to
sift and judge our responses!)

The one for the Peasants' Feast?  That was a most excellent hall!
There are a couple of other halls here in Nanaimo, I think, that could be
checked out, too...?  A Masonic Hall (or two or three), I am sure; plus the
Harewood Legion Hall (they do have a good-sized kitchen)...?
