$1400 RAISED FOR HOSPITAL IN GUATEMALA
Our thanks to those who took part in our fund raising efforts for the hospital in Guatemala known as Hospitalito Atitlán. The $1400 may not sound like much to some but it will make an enormous difference.
Season 5 is in the throes of planning...your thoughts and suggestions are most welcome - always. - Del
About the Site
The Loughborough Lake Holiday Park is our new home... 8Km North of Kingston on Sydenham Rd exit 613 at the 401.
It took nearly two years to work out the details...but last year's event was well worth the wait.
Okay..so there are some guys out there who wanted to come to this event but felt that perhaps your spouse and children may not get the same level of enjoyment as you might have enjoyed...and well...weekends in July are precious commodities..
Does a beach and beautiful shoreline make a difference?
We think it will. Are you off the fence yet?
THE ADDRESS IS:
3060 Sydenham Rd
South Frontenac, ON
8 Kms north of 401 - watch for signs
Here is a Google Highway Map link. The map opens in a new window.

Check out the Videos link from the Main Menu to keep abreast of how close we are getting to the completion of the DVD. These are of 'YouTube' quality for streaming purposes.
