VMCC Photo Contest Winner

Thank you to all of the Members of the VMCC who supplied us with a picture of you enjoying your MINI!! ... and we have a Winner!!!

Congratulations to Linda Green!! Despite the vast amount of entries, Linda's picture had it it all: a clean car, the VMCC members badge, a massive canoe strapped to her roof, and of course, a massive smile!!!

Linda is now stuck with the choice of either a Weekend in Whistler in a Countryman ALL4, or a Week's Drive in the New MINI Coupe Roadster!!

VMCC Membership Renewal

Event Date: NOW

Hello and Happy New Year!

We hope that all our members enjoyed the recent holiday time, and were able to take advantage of the unseasonably great weather with a spin out and about in our magnificent Minis!!

The time has rolled around to think of renewing your membership. Our membership period runs from Jan – Dec.  The good news is that there is no increase in this year's membership dues.  They will remain the same as last years; $35.00 per full member, and $5.00 per associate member.



The great news is that this year marks the VMCC's 10 year anniversary, and to commemorate this, we have a surprise for all members, a new, commemorative, anniversary grill badge for your pride and joy!

Please send your renewal remittance to:

VMCC Treasurer,
British Columbia Mini Cooper Society
