As most of you are aware, finding accommodations on the Tall Pines weekend can be quite a challenge. In the past 24 hours the Pines Committee has been busy finding some additional options for you. We will be posting some additional venues on Accommodations section of the Pines website within a couple of days. Some are 30+ minutes away, but that is a fact of life. The point is there will be lots of options posted and everyone who is looking for a place to stay will be able to find it.

Best news is that we have just convinced the Martin Wood Resort to open for the Pines weekend. It is a quality hotel with a restaurant that is a 25 minute drive west of Bancroft. Have a look at www.martinwoodresort.com

They have 18 rooms available as of this posting with a minimum of 2 Queen beds per room. Some rooms have more. Prices are competitive.

Hey Folks,

I booked a few spots at the Arlington Hotel (in Maynooth) for a team that will not make it. Added to that one of our guys can't come either.

There is a now whole dorm room available! Sleep your whole crew at the Arlington!  

This is my first post here, so I can't post active links.  go to
