Canuck Posted March 7, 2015 Author Posted March 7, 2015 By the way, this is one of the places we'll be visiting on the Thursday cruise in Summerland:
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Should we dare hope for 30! That's GREAT Aaron. Your really going to have your hands full this Year with such a large crew! Doug
Canuck Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 You never know Doug. There's another 12 members who also are interested in coming but have not been able to commit just yet so we could hit 30 if things line up right. As it is now we have a total group of about 40 people and 22 cars. It's going to be a great time.
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Excellent! Can Penticton handle that many Monteholics all in one place? :yay: Doug
Canuck Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 26 members now. Think we can get to 30? LARGEST WESTERN MEET EVER! :yay:
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Picking up some steam Aaron! 30 looks possible. I think we can, I think we can, I can thin-er, I mean, I think we can. Doug
Canuck Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 3 months to go! I was talking with the event organizers yesterday and registrations are up significantly. They already have about 400 cars registered and the limit for the show is 700 cars. If you have not registered yet I recommend doing so. Also, book your hotel ASAP if you have not done so yet.
TrunkMatt Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Never asked any of you this before... but are there any other Members that Play Tennis that'd be going?Looks like there are some nice courts nearby, and it'd be great to sneak away for an hour one day and have a match / burn off some of the beer. If so -- hit me up and I'll bring my Racquet
Bluemalibu Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 10 weeks to go! That's a great way to strike fear into the heart of a member! I'm burning the midnight oil, chipping away at this giant snowball to be able to make the meet... The engine has been reduced to just a half-empty short-block; the aftermarket A/C is 75% installed, the side glass is removed, and the interior is gutted. The posi carrier is disassembled and the brakes are in mid-transition to disc; the sheet-metal and bumper are off of the front end in anticipation of their replacements and the rear bumper is sitting in the box awaiting a second set of hands to help it get installed. I finished redesigning the 20" bucket brackets yesterday out of 1/4 x 2" stock and polyurethane bushings that tilt the seats back 3", move the seats 4" rearward, and raise the front of the seat 1". (I'm a pretty tall guy) using the existing mounting points: then I installed new foam padding in the driver's seat, finishing at 2:30 this morning. (Thank goodness Home Depot is just three blocks from my house! If I'm even able to push the car into the trailer to get her there, you'll see my tribute to the Depot... the poor car is closing in on having more parts on board from the hardware store than from GM!) Doug
Canuck Posted April 20, 2015 Author Posted April 20, 2015 Our first unofficial FGMCC meet in Penticton in June 2005. We had 4 members. The following year we had an official Western Meet there with 10 members In 2008 we had another unofficial meet there with 12 members Another unofficial meet in Penticton in 2012 with 11 members 2015 we expect roughly 25 members for the largest Western Meet we've ever had in any location. SEE YOU THERE! 1
Rob Peters Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 What is with all of these UNOFFICIAL meets. I never knew they were not official. Does that mean that this year is not officially number twelve? Just kidding, Aaron, thanks for all of the work you do to make the Official Western Meets such a success. Rob

Canuck Posted May 11, 2015 Author Posted May 11, 2015 I have updated the hotel info to include a second option since the first hotel is now full.
Vaughn Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Aaron, your starting to sound like an auctioneer, LOL Whoop, whoop
Canuck Posted May 15, 2015 Author Posted May 15, 2015 Due to the size of the group we are no longer having a BBQ at my house. I will arrange for a dinner at a local restaurant.
