Overnight trip to Williams Lake -- Columneetza Invitational Tournament
The current plan is to take all 18 players and run 2 teams, allowing Columneetza to host an 8-team tournament. Please confirm with your coach that you can go!
If there are any parents wishing to go to Williams Lake with the team, please talk to me! Last year 2 moms joined us and helped keep order! We are taking a minibus!
Hotel -
We will stay at the Coast Fraser Inn (Ph: 250-398-7055) in Williams Lake on Friday evening - it is within walking distance of Columneetza Secondary and features a Boston Pizza restaurant on the lower level. We may eat one meal there.
Travel times -
Leave NVSS Friday morning at 7 AM.
Return home Saturday evening around 11 PM. (DEPENDING ON OUR SUCCESS - if we win we will be later - so we will have the girls phone ahead to let you know when we are at Bednesti).
Trip expense - this is one of 2 overnight trips we are planning. The cost is much greater than it will be for the Prince George and Omineca games. Here is a summary:
- The team will share rooms - 4 to a room at $100.80 per room. Each player will pay $25.20 for hotel room.
- Minibus - each player will pay $20 for bus/driver.
- We will have to pay a tournament fee ($200 - per player this is @$10 for tournament fee (a guarantee of 3 games, refs, awards).
- Girls can bring food on the bus, but may want to bring money for meals (Fri evening, Sat 3 meals) @$30-40 for spending money and 4 meals.
- Please pay at the NVSS office - $55.20 per player. Please allow the girls to bring about $30-40 spending money for the weekend - The total cost of this trip will be $85.20
- sign a permission slip and turn it into the office
- send in a cheque to cover the expenses (not including spending money). Cheques should be made payable to SD91 and left with Doreen or Lorraine at the NVSS office, please.
