[Hartwood] 2014 events

Wed Oct 9 09:20:05 PDT 2013

Aline & everyone,
What about the Moose Hall near Southgate...does anyone know if that can be
rented and for how much? They serve breakfasts to large groups so have a
decent kitchen. There was also a small Legion Hall in the south end that
Rotary rented last-minute for an event - bit of an awkward layout but I
think it had a kitchen. 
The Costin Hall in Lantzville is large enough and has a great kitchen...we
used to use it for an annual Rotary event so I've spent a lot of time
volunteering in that kitchen.
Keep well,
Val

Ahh - thanks, Colin... it's good to have first-hand info like that. :-)
I'm looking forward to finding out more about the Parksville Hall, for sure,
and the downtown hall as well (for future consideration). :-)

I like the idea of the Parksville Hall, as it's close to mid-way for
Hartwood.  With Peasants Revel in Courtenay, White Court was *supposed to*
be in Nanaimo... well, we *could* do it in one of the Nanaimo halls, but I
think Parksville would be darn near perfect - if the facilities are suitable
for us. :-)

[I have a family background/connection with the Masons, with my grandmum
having been in Eastern Star (and I earned a university scholarship from
them), my youngest sis in Jobes Daughters, my Grandad in Masons).]

The Masonic Lodge in old town is in a heritage building - kinda neat.  But I
don't know about their facilities, either.  (Something to look at, for
sure!)
(Oh - and long, low-ceilinged rooms, as in the hall on Morpeth, feel very
'period, IMO. ;-) )<<<It may sound period, but NOPE! :-) I suppose with a
skilled team of decorators working flat out for a couple of days you MIGHT
be able to get something that if you squinted at it in a dim light, could be
imagined as looking faintly kinda sorta period!>>>

(My apologies to the Shire for not being to offer other options/venues back
when this was being discussed, as I am only JUST beginning to find out about
what is available.)

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)...?
