June | 2014 | Victoria Minis Car Club

Hi folks a few reminder!

1. Fathers Day in the Park Sun June 15, 2014 – e

The Club will meet at the Tim Horton’s on the corner of Ravine Way and Blanchard St. (Save -On-Foods Grocery across from Uptown) and will depart around 9 A.M-ish. We will travel to Cook St, turn right on Park Blvd and take the first left into Nursery Rd where Parking Marshals will direct us. We will have a short meeting during the day as well.

It looks like it will be a nice day on Sunday, so lets have a great turnout.

2. Swap Meet. For all interested, there will be a swap meet June 22nd 7am to 4pm at the Saanich Fairgrounds put on by the Vintage Car Club of Canada (Victoria Chapter)

Poker Run Results

We had seven cars participate with 21 poker hands purchased for the Shawnigan lake Poker Run. Although the rain tried to dampen the fun I believe we are had a good day capped off with a great dinner at the Four Mile Pub. Congratulations to Alan for the best hand and Duane for second best hand.

Cheers Doug VMCC Event Coordinator

And we are off (7 cars and 21 hopeful poker hands)!

This year the ABFM at Van Dusen Gardens in Vancouver had 527 cars, and the weather held with overcast sky, followed by sunshine! The Minis/MINI count was a little lower this year, but some pretty nice ones showed up. From our club, Merville and Doug were on show with their new MINI and I took over the Mini GTM Coupe. We reconnected with old friends from the Vancouver Mini Club and the Seattle Area Mini Owners club. Overall it was a great show!
