This wasn't in Cam's latest "Letters from Victoria" installment, which you will be able to read in the latest Miata Musings newsletter, but there's a thread on the forum (click on this entry's title for redirection) complete with a picture of the happy moment.

Event Reminder - Spring Drive - May 22
Saturday, May 22 is the Spring Drive. As with last year’s Fall Colours Run, we’ll be running in the traditional (clockwise) direction, which is to say Gate-way Park to St. Albert, with a mid-point stop at Seba Beach for a restroom break and a stretch.
Meeting time is for 12:00pm at Gateway Park. We may do an impromptu group photo if people wish (ie: if the grass is green), otherwise, it’s likely that we’ll put out around 12:30pm, to stop about 90min later at Seba Beach; getting going no more than 30min later for the remaining 90min to St. Albert. The Dairy Queen on St. Albert Trail is always so busy, so if anybody can suggest a better place to end the drive, speak up now!

Meeting Reminder - April 15
Tomorrow night is the club's monthly meeting -- Park Mazda at 7pm in the 2nd floor boardroom.
Hopefully Alvin, Mark, and Richard will all be in attendance to recount their 10-day trip to Laguna Seca and back...they may even talk about what it's like to drive a Miata on the track! ;-)

WRMC's 15th Anniversary -- Sunday Brunch, April 25
On Sunday, April 25 we'll finally be celebrating the Wild Rose Miata Club's 15th Anniversary. Originally hoped for October (when it actually occurs), and then hoped for our usual timeframe of January, both dates fell through. Now's the time!
We'll be partaking in the Sunday brunch at the Lily Lake Resort (formerly the Red Barn), which is about a 30min drive from St. Albert. We'll meet at 10:00am at St. Albert Centre (aka: the Mall) in the NW corner of the parking lot (at the base of the pedestrian overpass...where we have meet a few times for the Spring Drive and/or Fall Colours Run when going from N to S). From there, we'll drive the half hour or so to LLR. If you're unable to make the rendezvous but still want to go, you can meet us there around about 11:00am.
At present, it's anticipated that it will be the small buffet (no sea food), so cost is $15 per person. If we do manage to pull in a lot of people, they may offer us the large buffet (full compliment of food items...both breakfast and lunch) for $30 per person...but I won't know that until I have full attendance numbers and talk with the manager of LLR.
Come out and share in the celebratory experience of our club's 15th Anniversary (six months late).
Hopefully you all have your Miatas out by then...but if you're bringing more family members, the OTM (Miata-parlance for the "Other Than Miata" vehicle) is welcome just as well.
RSVPs are required to wild_rose_miata_club@hotmail.com and must be in by Friday, April 16. Please let me know the number of people in your party.

Sunday, April 18
Come help Bob D. out with a complete shifter maintenance (replacement of both rubber isolator boots, turret oil change, etc), which is something that EVERY Miata owner in the club should know how to do (check bi-annually).
