Prepare for Takeoff - Summer Tournaments

This summer, Prepare for Takeoff will be hosting two tournaments. They will be held at a new location for us, one that promises to be a very good venue for our sport.

Location

We will be having both tournaments at the Tri-County Complex in Fredericton Junction. It's a brand new arena so things like lighting should be top-notch. As well, we expect a large turn out from the surrounding community to watch the exciting racing. The arena is located in a very small community. There is a diner there and there will be a canteen set up for us.

Accomodations

The Tri-County Complex will allow RV parking on site. There will, however, be no hookups. We are looking into getting power for RVers.

For hotels, we recommend staying in Oromocto and Waasis. They are somewhat closer to Fredericton Junction than is Fredericton. Both hotels we mention here are about 20-25 minutes from the Tri-County Complex. Here are the hotels we have contacted regarding rates:

Robin's Inn

42 Chapperal Road in Waasis, NB
This is located just off the Highway at the Irving Big Stop.

The rates are:

Please quote "Prepare for Takeoff Flyball" when you call them to reserve. 

If you plan to book here please do so right away. There is a big car race that weekend at a track not far from the hotel. Note also that there are a limited number of non-smoking rooms, so if that is important to you, book early. All of the rooms have doors that go directly outside the room, lots of green space, etc. All of the rooms also have a fridge and microwave, they have a free continental breakfast and free wireless Internet.

Days Inn Oromocto

60 Brayson Blvd
Oromocto, NB E2V 4T9
506-357-5657 / 1-800-329-7466
Rates for June and August are $115 / night. Normally, there is a pet fee of $15 / night but they have agreed to waive that for our tournament. As well, if tournament attendees book 18 rooms, the rate drops to $95 / night. Please book using the code "Flyball".

None of the rooms in this hotel have doors to the outside, as the first floor is all meeting rooms, lobby, and restaurant. The second floor is a smoking floor, the third is non-smoking. There is an elevator and, of course, stairs. There is free wireless Internet, a great restaurant on site (Relish, which specializes in gourmet hamburgers), and an indoor pool.
