BED AND BREAKFAST SEMINARS
We present in-
We currently hold these group seminars twice a year in Courtenay on Vancouver Island in the spring and the fall from 9:00 AM to 3:30 each day. We hold them at a B&B so you get to see a good B&B in operation and how it is equipped. If you like you can make arrangements with the B&B to stay there for the seminar.
The seminar outline is on page 2. We encourage questions, discussions and networking with other future B&B operators. You will be fully detailed on all aspects of operating a B&B and it will get you started on the right track.
The ideal time to take a seminar is in your early planning stage so costly errors are not made in house alterations, purchases of the wrong type of linens, bed choices and poor marketing. Our students have found our seminars very helpful in this regard.
The cost of these group seminars is $200 per person or $300 for resident couples. Lunch, coffee and snacks are provided each day and both a detailed seminar manual and a copy of our book are also included which will be useful for future reference. If you set up a B&B, this is a tax deductible business expense.
Our next seminar will be held in Courtenay on October 25 th & 26 th, 2008. Email or phone for a registration form.
PRIVATE SEMINARS
We also host private workshop/seminars over two days at our home in Lillooet at a
cost of $500 per couple. This includes one night's accommodation, lunches, coffee
and snacks, a copy of our book and a complete seminar manual. You will also have
practical hands on experience with breakfast preparation, proper table setting and
bed making. This is an opportunity for one-

Some comments from our students:
"We got a wealth of information that we didn't know about in all areas of owning and operating a B&B. Thanks again for hosting this wonderful online seminar." Rolf and Edel Wiepning, Castlegar, B.C.
"Mary and Bruce are great coaches. They are open to new ideas, are encouraging but also firmly grounded in reality. They truly know the business and want you to be prepared for the real thing. It's priceless to learn from experts in the area who have been there and done it all." Kristen Gunn, Portland, Oregon.
