SEPTEMBER  OVERNIGHTER  10/11/12TH


UPDATE 


  On our recent day trip to the Bloomfield area we were well received at 4
establishments. Apparently, word has circulated that the VBCC is coming !!
  Confirmed so far are:
    - Late lunch Friday at the "Bistro" in Wellington.
    - The Fifth Town Cheese factory. (have a booth at the PTBO market)
    - County Cider Company (Wines and Ciders, also great view over lake)
    - Award winning winery (secret) for lunch, tour and tasting). The
      manager's husband is restoring a Triumph Spitfire.

  As of today there is only one room (2 Queen beds) available at
Angeline's Inn. 866-393-1408.
  Also, 2 rooms available at the Nap-n-Nosh, downtown Bloomfield.
613-393-3371. (Have stayed there. Location and facilities excellent.)
  Should these rooms be booked, please call Judie (705-292-7420 or email
rpaxton@persona.ca )for additional accomodation in Bloomfield currenly
being held for VBCC members. I think Judie and Jane have visited all the
B&B's locally, and have seen interesting homes and met some odd
characters.

  Currently, we have 11 cars signed up for the tour and there is room for
a few more.
  Please join us for a tour that will travel thru small historical
villages and towns, pass by orchards and vineyards with panoramic views
of Lake Ontario and Picton Bay. Enjoy and sample a section of Canada
that was settled by Loyalists, disbanded British and German troops in
the 1870's.
