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.

Tech Events -- two coming up mid-April

Google Groups Still Pending Approval...
Sorry Folks, this Google Group setup is still on hold waiting for Google to review the application. I promise that as soon as I find out it is done I will send out an email.
This is becoming a tad frustrating, and I apologise for the delays, so until then we will have to reply on the "old fashioned" emails and forum posts.

Google Group Taking Longer Than Planned
I have created the group list for the WRMC Group, but due to Google's anti-spam policies they have to review the membership request that I submitted to make sure that it is not a spam or malicious account. I will send out an email to everyone once it has been reviewed and approved.
Hang in there everyone!

GoogleGroup testing in progress
We're in the process of getting our GoogleGroup up and running. You can expect a few odd e-mails over the course of the next day or so as we (Martin and Richard) test a few things.
There will be two addresses, one for inter-member chatter and one purely for event annoucements.
If your e-mail system is filtering these out (into your SPAM box), please unblock the addresses, such that you receive these e-mails.
Hopefully this will allow a few more people to interact as compared to the sparse member usage on the Miata Club Canada forum.

3rd Annual "Car Movie Marathon" -- March 6
Saturday, March 6th is our 3rd annual Car Movie Marathon event...to beat away the winter blahs / cabin fever and get us all ready for spring.
It's a BYOB (bring your own bottle(s) & mix / BYOSTS (bring your own snacks to share) / BYOMFP (bring your own money for pizza) affair, which will be held at Steven & Patty S's house in south Edmonton (same site for the previous two events).
Arrival for a good seat in the theatre room, per norm, is 9:30am, with drinks in-hand at 10am (that's noon EST, so it's okay). Arrive / leave when you like if you can't do all-day, but this is planeed for Season 14 of Top Gear (7 episodes), Truth in 24 (Audi movie about LeMans), and some other stuff...so it'll be all-day with stretch- and lunch-break.
