Spring gets a little closer each day, and soon we'll all be
proudly cruising the streets in our newly polished rides!
Meanwhile, life and meetings go on!

Our meeting was held at the Comfort Inn on Thursday, April
1 -- only a bad coincidence, I'm sure.

We discussed a starting date for our Friday night show 'n
shines, and settled on Friday 21 May for the first night.
We decided to start at 6:00 PM for now, just to take
advantage of daylight. It will be nice to see all our cars
lined up again.

The results of last months email polls were discussed.
Black is the preferred colour for jackets, by a large
margin. Most people want to stick with T-shirts, again by a
large margin. Plaques won out over trophies (8 vs. 4), and
it became obvious from the poll results that the
destination for Spring Breakout should be decided by those
who wish to go, so we did not close any doors on that.

Peter came up with a good compromise on the plaque issue.
The objection all along has been cost, but we can probably
stay within budget by having a plaque for first place in
each category, and trophies for second and third place.
Dean Brennan is going to check in to some styles and
prices, so we can firm this up.

Last year, we had discussed inviting motorcycles in to
Carfest, but did not have the time to proceed with the
idea. We decided that we will include a "display only"
category for bikes. Mike Kraynyk volunteered to get the
word around, and organize the display.

For many years, the club has hung pictures of member's cars
in KFC. I think we mentioned in a previous newsletter, that
the franchisor will no longer allow this. As a result, we
haven't had a home for our pictures. Piston Ring has agreed
to hang them on their wall, so now when you are out there
buying parts for the pride and joy, you and everyone else
can see them!

Mike Godding arrived just in time to let us know that he
and Naomi have tentatively set April 18 as the date for our
next lunch. Details TBA.

That's it for this time. I have to get out to the shop.

Hi to all,

I talked to Pete this morning, and he will be out of town
all week. As we have the Christmas party coming up, we have
decided to CANCEL the regular meeting for December.

I am enclosing a picture from the parade. We had 3 entries:
Earl and Vicki's Dakota, Ron and Joan's AMX, and our own
Cobra II. We went back to Naomi and Mike's for pizza later,
and had a great time. A big Thank You to Naomi (and, in
absentia Mike), who got stuck in beautiful downtown Sioux
Lookout!

Think about the Christmas Party, which is fast approaching
(Saturday, December 18). PLEASE email me if you are coming,
and if you are bringing a spouse or guest, as I will have to
let the hotel know a rough head count. We hope to see
everyone come out for a good time.

Regards,

Rick
