Dear Terry Fellows,

At our last meeting, held at Park Royal, I had advised that we would endeavor to put
together an alternative list of locations for your chess group to meet and that we would
contact you to meet again to present our findings. Additionally, I had pledged money for
the group to book alternative space at your convenience as a gesture of goodwill. We
were sorry to hear that you were not available to meet Thursday or Friday of last week,
however, as promised, this letter outlines to your group Park Royal Shopping Centres
position.
We appreciate the group has met here informally for many years, however, as explained to
you the food court is not intended for non-patron use and must be kept available for our
food court vendor customers. We cannot continue to have seats monopolized by large
groups such as yours on a daily basis, as this would be a disservice to our paying
customers.
We are offering the following locations to you that could be booked at your convenience.
Park Royal will pledge a one-time donation of $500.00 to assist with these costs. (More
rental details are provided at the end of this letter):
1. West Vancouver Seniors Activity Centre: Activity Room, Social Recreation Room or
Atrium.

We are asking the group to cease the use of the Park Royal food court by Thursday, March
31, 2016. Our intent is to be respectful and reasonable as we had discussed when we
met. If your group fails to comply it will give us no alternative but to reach out to the West
Vancouver Police department. We sincerely hope this is an action we do not have to take
and we look forward to the groups cooperation in this matter.
Yours Truly,

Karen Donald, General Manager
