Kinsmen Club of Meaford

KIN KAMP IS FAST APPROACHING .. our 51st ANNIVERSARY OF KIN KAMP!!

We know that this year’s special Kamp will be a Kin-fun-filled weekend, and we are looking forward to seeing you all here for all the fun & fellowship that define Kin Kamp. We would like to acknowledge that, without the co-operation, participation and contributions from ALL clubs past, present and future, the Meaford Kin Kamp would not be the success that it is today!

Pre-bookings at the Kamp have started already, so please REGISTER EARLY!

EVENTS / BOODLE BAGS
Every year we are challenged to come up with new and interesting events. It is our hope that EVERY club will participate, and sponsor an event, game or challenge at some point during the weekend. If your club has a new idea, or a revival of an old one, we would be happy to fit you into our schedule. Please see Club Registration Form #1 to sign up your event with your registration package.
If your club cannot run an event, but would like to contribute an item to the Boodle Bag, please send 250 of your item to me at least one week before the Kamp. All contributions will be gratefully acknowledged.

KIN KAMP BULLETIN:
If you would like your event scheduled in our Bulletin Timetable of Events, please let me know the particulars and a contact person/phone number so that we can confirm the details and timing of the event. If you want to include a FULL PAGE AD in the Bulletin, please be creative, design an ad, and forward 250 copies on 8-1/2 x 11” paper, to myself at least one week prior to Kin Kamp.

PARKING LIMITATIONS:
PLEASE HELP us keep the roadways passable and our Kamp safe, by limiting the on-site vehicles to an absolute minimum. As in the past, a parking lot will be setup, in the field beside the sewage treatment plant, outside the park entrance. Due to fire and safety regulations, we can allow only a minimum number of vehicles at each Kamp site: ALL OTHER vehicles must use the parking lot outside the park. Please help us make more room for KAMPERS, not PARKING. As well, there are to be NO ATV’s or off-road vehicles at Kin Kamp.

• Kin Kampers are also asked NOT TO PARK in the public day-use parking spots immediately below the hill.

RESERVING SITES EARLY:
Reservations for before or after Kin Kamp can be made by phoning the Memorial Park Campground at 519-538-2530 (1-800-399-6323). I hope to have a copy of the Kin Kamp map layout to the park office by July 1, so that you can reserve the same sites for before or after Kin Kamp. The parks board management has asked the Kinsmen Club of Meaford to remind all Kin Kampers not to disturb other campers in the park before the actual Kin Kamp starts. The Kinsmen Club of Meaford does not have the sole use of the Kin Kamp field until 5:00 p.m. Friday July 29, 2011. Anybody having complaints filed against them by park management will be asked to leave the park with no refund of registration by either the Meaford Parks Board or the Meaford Kinsmen club.
Please fill out and return forms #1 & #2 with Club Cheque for total registration by June 1, 2011.
