> Can you please send the following SITREP to Dragnet for RV 2014.
>
>
>
> Dragoons,
>
> The time is drawing near when we will be meeting in Canada's Garden
> City St Catharines. I am pleased to be able to tell you that many of
> our members have decided to attend the RV and the list of those who
> have committed to attend can be found on the Regimental Web site at RV
> 2014 button.
>
> I am very thankful that both the Springbok and the Dragoon
> publications distributed the registration information. I am
> encouraged, and I hope to see more registrations over the next several
> months. I ask that all of the Chapter Chairman's further promote the
> RV to their respective Chapter members. The expectation was to see
> approx 110 attendees, but now I see a possibility of more.
> Additionally, I am asking you to spread the "word", and a copy of a
> registration form if required, to those who do not have access to
> e-mail. You can also help by checking the reunion site to see which of
> your friends have not registered and try to encourage them to join you
> in St Catharines. The Hotel will continue to offer the "Dragoons"
> preferred rate until May 13th or until they run out of rooms.
>
> Saturday Wine Tour:
>
> At this point the Wine Tours seem to be a popular activity and if the
> trend continues there will be a need to organize several tour
> locations options. The intention is to have 2 or more separate bus
> tours to different wineries / distilleries in the Niagara Region.
> Proposed itinerary;
> -Depart Holiday Inn & Suites, St. Catharines - 11 am
> -Free Time Niagara on the Lake - 11:30 am to 1:30 pm

> A sign up board will be available at the registration desk and on a
> first come basis you will be asked to select which tour you will be
> attending.
> The price at this time is $46 per person, but this may be reduced
> somewhat by the organizing committee as more individuals indicate
> attendance. More to follow.
>
> Dress:
>
> Several people have asked about dress. We do not have a "Dress Code"
> but the norm in the past has been "Casual" (slacks and shirt) for the
> Meet & Greet on Friday and jacket and tie (Civilian or Blues & Greys)
> for Saturday dinner.
>
> Hotel Room Reduced rates:
>
> Our contract with the Holiday Inn and Suites Hotel only guarantees our
> reduced room rates until 13 May 2014. However they have said that they
> would continue to provide these rates after that date on a "if
> available" basis.
