Frequently core group players are not able to play on a given night so a list of spares is maintained for all groups and players to call upon. This gives spares many opportunities to play and to get to know other VRMNC Members. \nAnyone interested in playing in a social context is encouraged to contact the Coordinator to learn more and to put their name forward for the spares list. \nWHERE: Regular players host at their homes on a rotational basis\, occasionally use Zoom if snow etc. \nWHEN: Most groups play weekly at nights or afternoons\, some stop for summer. \nWHO: Open to all VRMNC Members. VRMNC Members wishing to play should join the spares list for opportunities to play and be positioned to join a group on a regular basis when vacancies arise. \nBRING: There are no fees to play but many groups have a $1 ante to play each evening. The proceeds are divided amongst the top two and the lowest player of the evening.

Hikes tend to be milder\, with the emphasis on socializing\, rather than rock-scrambling. Partners are welcome (encouraged) but not required for either hiking\, lunch\, or both. \nWHERE: Hikes generally commence from various trailheads in the Greater-Victoria and/or surrounding areas. (Once in awhile we venture a bit further afield.) Lunch follows at a restaurant or pub somewhere in the vicinity. \nWHEN: We meet once per month\, normally 2nd Sunday of the month. Typically we meet at 9:45 at the trailhead for a 10:00 start. Lunch is typically at 12:30 or so. \nWHO: Open to all VRMNC Members and partners. Hike Leaders volunteer from a yearly schedule (a.k.a. The Roster) maintained by the Coordinator. \nBRING: Sturdy hiking shoes\, suitable garb for the weather\, water\, and a snack\, if desired. Hiking poles are optional. $$ to cover your lunch. \nMORE INFO: An interest-list is maintained by the Coordinator.  Events are pre-arranged via email.  Contact Coordinator Greg Bosecker at gregorybosecker@gmail.com to get onto the mailing list. \n\n \n \n \n\n \n 20230709 VRMNC - Hiking\, Jike + Lunch Group20230709 VRMNC - Spousal Hike + Lunch Group20230521 VRMNC Spousal Hike - Kinsol Trestle20230521 VRMNC Spousal Hike & Lunch - Kinsol TrestleSunday Hikers and Spouses April 2023 Six Mile Pub20230423 VRMNC Spousal Hike & Lunch - 6 Mile PubSpousal Hike group 28Feb202320230226 VRMNC Spousal Hike + Lunch - Witty's Lagoon20230122 VRMNC - Spousal Hike + Lunch20230122 VRMNC - Spousal Hike + LunchSwansHiking3SwansHiking2IMG_4097_smallSwansHiking4SwansHiking5IMG_4099_smallSwansHiking1 URL:https://vrmnc.ca/event/spousal-hike-lunch-2/2026-07-12/ LOCATION:BC CATEGORIES:Sports ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://vrmnc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Spousal-Hike-Lunch.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
