Hello All,
It is time once again for our annual Cruise-In! I was at RONA in South Nanaimo today where ASM Brian spoke for Store Manager Martin and okayed the plan to use their parking lot on the 11th of September for our late summer gathering. As has been the case for the last few years, this will be a casual happening, with no judging(very important, we love all the cars! ), but we envision a prize for everyone that attends. A few of us have been collecting give-aways over the last year and there will hopefully be some businesses donating some swag. At our last night's meeting we had a thought it might be cool to do two bigger type draws, one with every driver's name and another with every kid's name. It is just a thought at this point, but no firm prizes have been established (maybe an RC for the kids, but what for the big kids?). Our Cruise In will, as always, be free admission and you are encouraged to bring all your VWs, no matter their condition. This Cruise In is put on all in the name of having a FUN time and enjoying spending time chatting and meeting others in the hobby. Hopefully we will be able to entice drivers from north and south and meeting in the middle(sort-of) will be a good chance for people to reconnect, not to mention showing our mid island air cooled Volkswagen might!
Cheers, Don

Has anyone spoken to the local radio stations? If not, I can do it. Does anything else need doing?

Good idea, go for it Mark. As to anything else… even though there is no meeting tonight, maybe a quick get together later in the week(Sat) at RONA would be a good idea. We can just quickly go over where the tent/cars are arranged. Anyone up for that?

Sounds good Don. That will allow me to drop off the canopy, in the event that I cruise in a bit later than the others...haha. I will gather the 20 or so prizes to give away, that I promised at the last meeting.

I work all day Saturday, but wondering about when we should meet on Sunday Good point Brent…. "Start" is posted as 10, but I think in the past we have been there as early as 7. Not saying that is when you have to be there Brent, you might still be warming up your voice at that time . However, others that would like to contribute to the set-up might want to get there 8-9 or so. PM me if you have any questions. Cheers, Don

What time were you thinking for Saturday? I have kid commitments for some of the day but might be able to help out in between.

What time were you thinking for Saturday? I have kid commitments for some of the day but might be able to help out in between. I was thinking(hoping) around 2pm, but that is yet to be confirmed. I went to RONA today and got the Store Manager's "okay", as opposed to just the assistant manager's, plus I put up a poster for the RONA employees to inform them of Sunday's event. I asked if they could please not park in the parking area next to Maki Rd.. I also bought raffle tickets that are in 2's so that one ticket can be kept by the driver and the other goes into the hat, barrel, whatever….
