Saturday, October 17 is the Fall "Burn Some Wood" Cookout at Hawrelak Park.
We'll try for a fire pit near to the river (click the above banner text for a link to Google Maps) and the fire will start at 2:30pm. Bring what you'd like to cook (and a means to do so...tin foil for the grate or a stick) and we'll see you there.
Our second-to-last Miata event for the year.
------
Well, we had 1 Miata, 3 MX-5s, 1 Jaaaaaag, 1 Land Rover, and 1 BMW...nine people for a very pleasant afternoon in the park, with sun no less! The last opportunity for newsletters to be delivered, so all others will be in the mail as of the 10am pickup on Monday, October 19.

Sept 26 - Tech Event - Suspension Swap
Gary V. -- our Technical Director -- is hosting a suspension day on Saturday, September 26, at which time Stuart S.'s 1996 will be receiving new shocks & springs (Flyin' Miata stage 1.5 suspension kit).
If any members want to come out to help or just to see what we are doing you are welcome to show up starting at 9:30am. Stuart said he's bringing some beer so it should prove to be a "shocking" day.

Event Reminder -- Fall Colours Run & Cookout (15th Anniversary Photo)
We’ll be running the Fall Colours Run in the old (normal) direction, which is to say Gateway Park to St. Albert, but with a mid-point stop at Pembina Provincial Park for a cookout / lunch stop.
As such, we’ll be getting going a little earlier than normal, with a meeting time of 11:00am on Saturday, September 12 at Gateway Park. Please don’t be late, as we’ll stage a group photo with all the cars in the grass (similar to the banner currently used on the club’s website –- it’s time for a 15th Anniversary photo to replace the old 10th Anniversary one). Even if you can’t make the drive, please come for the photo!
From there, we’ll likely get underway on the drive by 11:30am or so, and in 90min we’ll pass through Seba Beach but continue on the extra 15-20min to get to the park, whereat we’ll stop and make a fire, to cook whatever you bring for lunch.
Perhaps 90min later -– approximately 3:00pm -– we’ll head back on the road for the second half of the drive to St. Albert, which will take another 90min or so. Those who wish (hot weather dependant of course) can stop for ice cream at the Dairy Queen on St. Albert Trail, but we’ll be done with time to spare with respect to getting home for dinner.
So shine the car up (for the photo), bring a lunch (either one to cook or ready-made), have a full tank of gas (you won’t need it, but there’s no opportunity for any on the road), and plan for a nice day out with your fellow club members.

Welcome to new members:
Dan & Sharon R. of Edmonton (1990 Classic Red);
Valerie W. & Stu M. of Edmonton (2007 Brilliant Black), and;
Darryl & Liz V. of Sherwood Park (1990 Crystal White).
They all joined at the Show 'n Shine, but knew of the club through various means beforehand (two being referred by existing members and one having acquired a former member's car).
Sounds as if we can expect a few more memberships via the mail as a result of the event though...all people who saw it advertised in the Edmonton Journal.
