Classified Ads link

...is fixed. Don't know what suddenly changed on the Miata Club Canada forum site, but the link (to the right) directly into the Classified Ad section was broken. Jim fixed it last night and it's working again.

Don't forget that there's a whole bigger world on the MCC forum apart from the Classified Ads and WRMC sections...just a click away on the top-left "Miata Club Canada" text from either page will get back to the larger forum...or just click on the header of this post to be brought there directly.

Event Reminder - Fall "Burn Some Wood" Cookout - October 23

Our last event for the 2010 summer season is the cookout, on Saturday, October 23, at Hawrelak Park. This annual event always seems to bring out some surprises with members whom we haven’t seen in some time coming out…so we’ll see if this holds true again this year. So, c’mon out!

A rather relaxed affair, it’s meant simply as a way to unwind after a summer full of activities and as a last chance for many to bring their Miatas out to a club event until April. Enjoy a nice fall day, discuss events you’ve missed or your winter plans, and cook some food over an open fire.

Further details will be mailed out by Martin nearing the event.

The fire starts at 2pm.

Meeting Reminder -- October 21

The next club meeting is Thursday, October 21, at 7pm in the 2nd floor boardroom of Park Mazda in Sherwood Park.

The November issue of the Miata Musings will be available for pickup by those members in attendance. (Mailed thereafter to those not in attendance at the Fall "Burn Some Wood" Cookout two days later...see the post above.)

Event Reminder - Fall Colours Run - October 2

The Fall Colours Run is Saturday, October 2.

We meet at Gateway Park (the oil derrick on the QE II Highway at the city's southern limits) for 10:30am with a departure for 11am. (Waiver must be signed...so don't show up at 11 expecting to leave right away...please come on time.)

The drive will be two legs of approximately 90min with a 30min stretch (bathroom) break at Seba Beach in the middle. We'll end on the outskirts of St. Albert and have no defined end point unless people desire an ice cream or something.

Please have a full tank of gas. You won't need it all, but there is no opportunity for gas on the route, so being low may cause you to have to leave to find it.

Bring your cameras & hats (wear sunscreen per the weather forecast) and come prepared for a fun drive on all the twisty and/or hilly roads surrounding Edmonton.

Autoslaloms -- September 25 & October 3

The Edmonton Z-Car Club has a date of Saturday, September 25 for the fourth event of the year, and Sunday, October 3 for the fifth event of the year.

Information can be found by clicking on the title text of this message.

Registration is through Andrew S. (link on that website), and is only required if you have not previously registered as a competitor at either of the three previous events. Reminder that all people in your party, if you're bringing spectators, must be registered with Andrew, due to the security requirements at C.F.B. Edmonton.

Deadline for registration is Friday, September 17 by noon for the fourth event, and Friday, September 24 for the fifth event (this is only required if you haven't previously registered for base access purposes).

Meeting Reminder -- September 16

The September club meeting is Thursday, September 16 at 7pm in the 2nd floor boardroom of Park Mazda in Sherwood Park.

Martin S. will be chairing the meeting, and you will all have received your October issue of the Miata Musings in the mail prior to the meeting...but come out anyway.

Event Notification -- David Thompson Highway Cruise -- DATE MAY CHANGE!!!

After working out event details with Martin S. -- our Events Director, and leader of this drive -- last week, and publishing said details in the early distribution October issue of the Miata Musings (hitting the mail tomorrow for hopefull delivery on Wednesday for Edmonton members) there may be a date change.

Listed for Saturday, September 18, the new date may be one week earlier, ie: this coming Saturday, September 11.

Stay tuned to your e-mail for an announcement by Martin and a call for confirmation of attendence (lest the event not proceed).

Despite being an all-day, 1,000km drive, the David Thompson Highway Cruise to Jasper 'n Back is well worth partaking in.
