Saturday, 14	British Car Day - Saturday Drive (REGISTRATION REQUIRED)	12:00 pm
Similar to last year we are planning a drive for LBCs on the Saturday afternoon before British Car Day®.  It will start at Bronte Creek Provincial Park at about 1 p.m. and we will provide a pizza lunch beforehand at around Noon and then there will be some lead cars to show you some of the roads in our area.  If you do plan to join the drive, please drop me a line by 9th September at the below e-mail  so that we know how many of you to expect and that you don’t go hungry.  We’ll send you the route and waiver via e-mail soon after registration closes.

Sunday, 15	36th British Car Day	8:00 am
Another great show is planned and we are expecting over 1,000 British Cars, great vendors, 6 wonderful anniversary cars, a fly by of WW1 bi-planes and tri-planes courtesy of The Great War Flying Museum, and much more.  Check out our website for details and don't forget to pre-register before 9th September; it's a great way to save money ($15 versus $20 at the gate) and time (you pick up your goody bag on the way in which includes a 56 page programme, voting card and pencil, dash plaque and much, much more).   The Awards Ceremonies start at 2 p.m. and go for about an hour.   Please stick around so you can pick up your award ... we have 58 different car classes and 3 awards per class so the odds are pretty good that you might!   There will also be a panel of judges selecting the Best of Show and a Long Distance Award presented to the car driven the furthest (you must pre-register to be eligible).  Look forward to seeing you on the 15th.  Dave Sims, Chairman British Car Day.
