Vancouver, Canada All British Field Meet 17 May'14

Here is some good news for Western Canadian owners of MGFs, RV8s, and 1980's FWD MGs.
For the first time there will be a "Modern MGs 1981-2013" class at The Vancouver All British Field Meet.
In previous years we have infiltrated the Rubber Bumper MGB class as MGs were not officially imported
into Canada (or the USA) after the closure of the Abingdon Plant, but the organisers have seen the interest
expressed in our cars and have granted us a class.
The 2014 show will see the Modern MG class as Display Only. If we have six or more entries the class will be granted
full voting class status for 2015.
We will have a club tent jointly for The MGCC MGF Register and the Canadian Modern MG Rover Car Club, (CMMGRCC).
The show is now in it's 27th year and 600 British cars are expected to attend with 50-100 doing the Whistler Run.
We already have Modern MG owners intending to attend from BC, Alberta and Washington State.
All members from Western Canada and the US Pacific Northwest are encouraged to attend the show and The Vancouver
to Whistler Run the following day.
The event is organised by Western Driver Magazine and details can be found at their web site http://www.westerndriver.com/?page_id=5288

Correct Colin, it is on May 17th, 2014
I'll have to put a report together for FasTForward.

My entry number for the All British Field Meet is #13-Good thing it's not judged.
On a more positive note my entry number for the run is #007. I'd better finish installing
the ejection seat in the MGF...Sorry Dear! :o

Dang! I will be racing in California on the May Long weekend! I will try to find a driver willing to bring one of the F's over to the big island...
I just pained the green one, so it would be nice to have her on display.
