Lionsdale Revels in Learning!

The Shire of Lionsdale celebrates it's love of learning with an evening Revel in the midst of two full days of learning.

Come join us on the weekend of October 28th and 29th at the German Canadian Club Hall in Chilliwack BC.

The Revel begins at 7PM on Saturday evening, followed by dancing, games, stories and song. There will be a wet-bar run by the German Canadian Club members available. Please bring your own (non-alcoholic) beverage, feast gear, and a feast contribution in the form of snack or finger type food (no heating or refrigeration required). Some food items may also be purchased from the Lionsdale Crew at reasonable cost to ease the burden of far-flung travellers.

The doors for the event will open at 8:30 am both days with classes running from 9am - 1pm, breaking for lunch and resuming at 2pm. Classes end and dinner begins at 6pm. Bring your food, or purchase on-site from Lionsdale for a nominal fee.

Class offerings and schedules will follow and are by pre-registration, although any classes that are not filled may take drop-in students at the discretion of the teacher. Registration forms will be available at regular Lionsdale Practices, or by contacting one of the autocrats (as soon as the class offerings are finalised).

We regret that children cannot be accommodated on-site during class time, please make other arrangements for daycare so as to not interfere with other students study enjoyment.

All entrances to the site are reached via long stairs, which can be difficult for mobility-challenged participants. However, we do have stalwart volunteers willing to assist anyone willing to brave the challenge in order to attend!

Site fee is $5. per person, whether or not classes or the Revel are attended.
