Hi Everyone...
Just a heads up, The host hotel can only hold our block of rooms until the end of this week. after that they will be open to the public and may sell out fast due to a few weddings.
Reserve a room today to make sure you have one. You can always cancel it later if you can't make it.

right on, you know it randy!!
IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!
the all VW cruise on Saturday from the SGVWA Pancake Breakfast at Regency VW to the Vintage Speed & Collectables Event http://www.airspeedparts.com/forums/index.php?topic=23526.0 has been modified and improved to include a 30 minute pit stop at beautiful Cates Park!!
the park has the famous Wally's Burgers concession for snacks, a kids playground, washrooms and plenty of room to stretch your legs and hang out before continuing on to the Vintage Speed & Collectables Event!!
please note...the cruise is open to any and all ACVW's and H2OVW's and is always a lot of fun and a great time spent cruising with your VW buddies!! maps will be handed out to all participants and the cruise will be led by Zündfolge Car Club members Thomas (white '58 ragtop beetle) and Geevy (white '70 convertible beetle)!
there will be no drive up Seymour mountain due to air quality & smoke issues from the active forest fires in bc (we hope everyone and their families in those areas are safe and secure).
