Also take note that we only rent this space at The Music Box and are fortunate to do so at a special rate, therefore keeping our course costs very low. We do not guarantee that you will find dishes, cups, cutlery, can openers, etc. as we share this space with many other groups. Plan your lunch so that you bring your own cups/cutlery( think environment friendly) and that you can have a picnic outside if the weather is fine, or inside by your table. Coffee, tea and some snacks will be provided.
There are plenty of small places for lunch close by in the area.

The Music Box (Upstairs)
1564 Argyle Avenue, West Vancouver BC. V7V 1A1
There is space for about a dozen cars by the Music Box, if done carefully. Parking is free on Bellevue on Sunday, as well. A space close to the building must be reserved for our guest artist, so when you arrive please make sure one spot is left open near the building.

This course may fill up quickly. Do not hesitate to join the WAIT LIST. If it is full, do not be discouraged. Check back later- you may still be able to get in.
For every workshop we have run this year, we have had cancellations because of illness or change of plans. Often even a wait list of eight names or more is moved up because "life changes things." However, if you are on the wait list and change your own plans, please do not hold your space in the queue. Please take your name off the wait list and let someone else have a chance. Be kind to your colleagues and remove your name if you have a change of plans.
