Upcoming Events and News

Once the Hells Gate/Harrison drive is complete, I will post the details of the AGM. I don't want to take away from participation in the drive and I want to give Thomas an opportunity to book the hall.

I will also post possible events for the coming months to gauge interest. They are:

1) A tour of Nu-Brite's new wheel repair centre

2) A tour of a body shop specializing in old British vehicles. He usually has one or two Minis in the shop and will have our BugEye in for final bodywork

3) A drive to Reiffel Bird Sanctuary and possible wander through

4) A second carting day as an end of season event as discussed earlier in the year

Stay tuned for updates and more info.

Hells Gate and Harrison Hotsprings Drive

Date: Saturday, Sept. 12, 2009
Time: Meet 9 AM
Place: Scottsdale Mall

From Beken: I have penciled in September 12 for a drive to Hells Gate with a stop at Harrison Hotsprings on the way back. I think a photo opp amongst the sand castles (if there are any) would be fun. This will be close to an all-day drive. Hopefully, everybody should be home by around dinner time so as not to interfere with your family BBQ schedules.

I plan to leave Scottsdale Mall around 9:00 am, possibly make Coquitlam Centre around 10:00 am with other meetup spots along the way. If others want to join in the run somewhere along the route, post a message. We will take Hwy 7 (Lougheed highway) to the Fraser Canyon. Return via Hope and then Highway 1. The drive will officially end when we return to Highway 1 from Harrison Hotsprings. That means if you live in Chilliwack or Abbotsford or Mission, you can drop out of the drive anywhere along the route home. Remember to start with a full tank of gas and bring your radios. More details soon.

Please post here if you plan to attend.
