Welcome to new members:

Richard & Cynthia C. of Edmonton, and;
Orest & Lesia P. of Sherwood Park.

Two new Miatas, bringing the club up to 125 Memberships comprising 226 people.

Meeting Reminder

This month's club meeting is Thursday, September 18 at 7:00PM in the 2nd floor boardroom of Park Mazda in Sherwood Park.

The October newsletters have been mailed a little early so that EVERYBODY has up-to-date event information for the Fall Colours Run, our last two remaining autoslaloms and season-ending lapping day, and the Fall "Burn Some Wood" Cookout in October.

Autoslaloms & Lapping Day

Saturday, September 27 and Sunday, October 5 are Events #4 & #5, both at C.F.B. Edmonton, capping off our five-event season.

If you didn't register for gate entry for the August date via either Richard or Andrew, or are making a change (car, guests, etc...), you'll need to contact Andrew (via his e-mail address on the back page of the newsletter) no later than September 18 (for the September 27 event) or September 25 (for the October 5 event).
__________________________

As an added bonus, we're combining again with the Edmonton Z-Car Club, Northern Alberta BMW Club, and Polar Region - Porsche Club of America for a second lapping day at Stratotech Park, across the river from Fort Saskatchewan, on Saturday, October 11. Stay tuned to the forum post for breaking information and keep in touch with Andrew.

Hope to see you at all three events...even if you just come out to spectate.

August 24 Autoslalom - Course Setup

A reminder for those wishing to help with course setup and/or registration and tech inspection, we can get gate access at C.F.B. Edmonton at 7:30am on Sunday. Doug and I will be heading off to Ron's house to pickup the trailer with pylons, tent, etc...and will be back as soon as possible, but in the interim, those arriving at the base can already empty their cars, help Andrew with the waivers / entry forms, and be ready for cone-slinging when we return.

Bring sun-screen and plenty to drink -- the humidex is forecast to be +33 Celsius. Doug K. of the EZCC will be there with the BBQ for lunch again.

Who Are We?

We are the members of the Wild Rose Miata Club, living in the Edmonton area, who have organized to enjoy the modern day classic Mazda MX-5 Miata!

Benefits of Membership

Unlike other sports car clubs, we do not focus on any one type of activity. The mission of the club is... the fun and enjoyment of owning and driving the Miata ... as well as other social functions. We have technical sessions to learn more about the Miata and its care, as the club is the best resource for information about your car.

Our newsletter is published monthly from Jan through November to keep our members informed of all the latest news, information, and upcoming events in the club.

Membership

Membership is just CDN$20 per year and entitles you to four issues of Miata Musings, member discounts at local dealers, service shops, aftermarket retailers, and much, much more. Follow the instructions on the application form... that's all there is to it.
