[Hartwood] 2014 events

Wed Oct 9 10:44:57 PDT 2013

The Legion hall in Harewood is one I suggested, too, Valorie.
I have never even seen/heard about the Moose Hall (nice and close to me and you!), nor the Costin Hall in Lantzville (which would be an ideal location, IMO).  Do you have contact info for any of them?

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! 
J 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! J (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)...?
