Shuswap Rock Club Event

 

Hello,

My name is Florence and I am the treasurer of the Shuswap Rock Club, in Sorrento, BC. Our club is going to be hosting a tailgate sale on Saturday, May 7, 2022.

As a club we have missed a lot of association with our fellow BC Rock Club members, that we were able to enjoy at various events hosted by the clubs. We would like to start enjoying getting together again now that so many Covid restrictions have been eased. So we would like to invite all your members to come out and join us in May, a chance to meet new friends and connect with old friends we haven’t seen in awhile. We will be having various members selling their rock crafts, their rocks & minerals, and some used equipment. Any of your club members would be welcome to be a vendor to sell their rock related items.

We will also have our popular Spin & Win game, where everyone wins a prize.

 

We are inviting vendors, private or commercial to attend this sale. It is open to all BC Rock Club Members.  This sale will be conducted similar to previous zone tailgate sales held at Swan Lake in Vernon BC.  This sale will be located at:

 

5 Corners Pentecostal Church, Parking Lot, 3160 10th Ave SE Salmon Arm

May 7, 2022. 9 am - 2 pm.

 

-The qualifications to participate as a vendor are that you must be a  current paid up member(2022)of a BC Rock Club. 

Bring your membership card or BCLS card to show proof. 

-The product you are selling must be rock related: ie finished work, slabs, rough rock, lapidary equipment(working or not).

- The cost to rent a space for the day is $20.00. Bring your own tables.

 

There could be up to 25 spaces available with five already taken so you need to reserve a space soon. If you want to be a vendor you will need to provide your own tables and tent(if you want one).

 Cheque or e-transfer to hold your space.

 

This is a social event, an opportunity to renew old acquaintances and make new friends, so we welcome you to come out and enjoy yourselves.
