From Dick/Sonia Lubbelinkhof:

I have looked into hotels in Parry Sound … for accommodations when people come for the Provincial Tournament in September.  The two hotels that we would recommend are:

1.       Microtel Inn & Suites 705-746-2700

Cost is $ 139.00 per night less 10% for September 3 and 4, 2013.  They have reserved a block of 40 rooms for the Provincial Shuffleboard Tournament.  Deadline for this rate is August 4, 2013.

2.       Canada’s Best Value Inn & Suites
705-746-1500
Cost is $ 79.99 per night per couple for September 3 and 4, 2013.  They have reserved a block of 30 rooms and deadline for this rate is August 15, 2013.

Also, we have contacted a local cruise line that offers dinner cruises on Georgian Bay.  We have asked them about having a dinner cruise – CHANGED TO THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 5, 2013.  It is a 2.5 hour cruise.  The cost is $ 60.00 per person plus HST, bar and gratuities.  There is only room for 42 people on the dinner cruise.    Please advertise on the website that if they wish to purchase tickets for this cruise, they can contact the cruise company with a credit card number to reserve their seat.  There must be minimum of 20 tickets purchased in order for the dinner cruise to proceed.  The dinner will be Georgian Bay Whitefish.  You can learn more about the cruise on their website.  www.spiritofthesound.ca  .  Deadline for purchasing tickets is August 25, 2013.

Regarding the tournament, there will be lunch available.  Fifth wheel trailers and motor homes will be permitted onsite.  There is no hydro hookup available.  Washrooms for men and women are open 24 hours a day.  There are no shower facilities onsite.  It is in a quiet, residential neighbourhood.

The McDougall Recreation Centre is located north of Parry Sound, off Hwy 400 at Avro Arrow Road.  Once they have exited Hwy 400, turn left (west) to Nobel Road.  At the stop sign, turn left and the next road to the left is (or leads to) Hammel Avenue.  The McDougall Recreation Centre is on the next corner at 148 Hammel Avenue (North side). (These last few details were modified August 8, 2013. An additional post shows a map – click here.)
