President’s Message
The Brampton Region did well at the Concours d’Elegance event taking home 10 trophies from various categories. Also none of the winners had to go through a safety check as they had already done their duties at our Touring Inspection in May. Have you done your car yet? I have said before, you have to have this done to use your car in Club Events. Our Tour to Yesteryear is coming together very nicely and a good time will be had by ALL. Have you signed up yet for any part of the Tour or maybe you could come to the Banquet? Hope you are taking advantage of the great weather to enjoy your car and the beautiful scenery around the Brampton and Caledon Region. Check your Newsletter for other events and come out to socialize and enjoy the fellowship. It is your Club and the Directors are trying their best to give you what you want—- A Good Time.
Thanks and drive safely.
Ted

President’s Message
The touring season has started. Brampton Region held its Touring Inspection on Sunday May 27th. Overall we have done 40 cars— counting on the cars that were done before Sunday and those done on Sunday. There are still more of our members that need to make arrangements with Ted Cordingley to get their cars done. Further info is available in this newsletter for you to have your car done and at no cost. Remember– if your car is not done, then you cannot participate in Club activities with your car. This is mandatory for each year and that is why a new sticker is issued each time with the correct year. Don’t forget about the following important events—Concours d’Elegance—Brampton hosting The Tour to Yesteryear—Tour to St Jacob’s—Annual Corn Roast—and our big Fall Tour to Bracebridge. Looking forward to seeing you on the road.
Drive safely.
Ted

On a rainy drizzly day we had 34 cars from the club turn out to get inspected and I think everybody was listening because everybody seemed to arrive with there cars already in great shape. Thanks!!
We had a unfortunate thing happen that prevented us from doing our lunch tour. The day before our Tour guide Bill Ash got the news that the Hockley Convention Centre had closed and there we were with nowhere to go, but Bill called the AJ’s Bar & Grill and we went there for a lovely lunch. Thanks Bill, good job. After lunch Bill Ash led some members on a scenic drive to the north.
Thanks to Joan Gow for coffee, juice, timbits and setting it up.
Thanks again to our master mechanic , Ted Cordingley for a job well done.
 
It was wonderful that Northwood Park Service took care of us and even went to many extra’s to make things more comfortable for our staff by supplying us with his new courtesy car to help speed things up. I think Ted you should offer this to your partner Rick so he will not have to ride his bike on cold days?
It is my understanding that this vehicle is residing at Ric Jones’s now.
If somebody wants to get their car inspected call Ted at (905) 451-2431and make arrangements to have it completed.
 

 

I would like to thank members that drove to Ching,H.S and upon arriving found out it had been cancelled and the teacher never thought  about calling somebody.
                               POOR SHOW!!!
                              He says he will have one
                              next year and he will call?

Indoor Meeting held Feb 14 We had a very surprising turnout for the Valentine meeting with 21 in attendance. The weather was very unpredictable earlier in the day and to have members travel from Guelph, Bolton and surrounding ares was a wonderful example of club members going all out for their club. Joan Gow baked some heart shaped shortbreads and Pat made a pot of tea to wash it all down with. We even had some chocolates for everybody's sweetheart. Thank You Joan & Pat. After the business part we all enjoyed a video of the Nethercutt collection. What your editors did not know about the collection was it was not all cars. It was amazing to see the massive pipe organs (500)pipes or was it 5000 anyway it was all housed in the building, all working and kept in pristine condition. I would suggest that if you are ever in Sylmar Calf. make sure you take the free tour. If you need a loan see Judy Kovacs who took home the 50/50 of $19.50.
