July 15th. BBQ with the BC Corvette Club |
|||||
LGMAC member John Rak invited us to join the BC Corvette Club, which he is also a member of, for a second barbeque at his property in Abbotsford. We had a great lunch as John supplied the burgers while the two clubs supplied the salads and desserts. While it would seem to be an odd combination, we all have a passion for our cars in common and everybody had a great afternoon. |

June 10th. Blenheim Lodge Visit and tour |
|||||
After days of brilliant sunshine, as luck would have it the day started out with light rain so limited the attendance for our tour. However, by noon the rain subsided and we were able to enjoy lunch at Maple Grove park. |
After a drive around UBC we parked at Blenheim Lodge where many of the residents came out to view our cars and reminisce about their younger days |
