COASTERS CAR CLUB

In light of the cancellation of our Sleepy Hollow 2020 it has been suggested at the general meeting we have a cruise from Chatalech High School to the Halfmoon Bay Fire Hall and back again.

We will assemble at Chatalech High School  on August 7^th 2020 at 6:30 pm ready to depart at 6:45 pm.  It would be nice if all  or as many as possible members could participate on this cruise.

The route is…leave the High School …Turn right onto Cowrie St  to Derby Rd….Follow Derby to Norwestbay Rd..Turn left on Norwestbay Rd to the lights on Hwy 101 ..Follow 101 to Redroofs Rd.  Take Redroofs to the Firehall and turn around at the Hall.  Return to Sechelt and disperse or go to your favourite watering hole…LOL LOL

A reminder that the silent auction we had thought about having at Louis and Darlene Vignal’s has been cancelled due to Covid.  We will look forward to next year!

The Sunshine Coast Mustangers (SCM) are having a cruise in at Tim Hortons here in Sechelt starting this Thursday July 30^th and every Thursday through the end of August, weather permitting, at 7:00 p.m. for an hour or so to enjoy a coffee, a snack and some company with friends.

If there are any members of the Coasters Car Club who would like to join us for this get together, they are more than welcome. It is not limited to Mustangs only. I have spoken to the owner of this Sechelt Tim Hortons and his Manager and they have no issues with us showing up. Ron Walsh met up with a few Coasters in the Sechelt coffee shop this morning and mentioned it to them and those he spoke to were interested in participating so we wanted to get the word out to your members who may be interested.

The SCM would ask that those who do attend to please abide by the first item of our SCM Motto which is to Respect Your Car, the Environment and the Laws. Also, as we are all cognizant of I am sure, due to the COVID19 pandemic, social distancing and or the wearing of masks is imperative to keep everyone safe.

The Coasters Car Club donated $500.00 from our Pender cruise to the Sunshine Coast food banks .  A big thank you to the 30+ members that showed up for it..

We the executive and directors of the Coasters Car Club have discussed and decided due to Covid-19 to cancel the Sleepy Hollow Rod Run and Car Show this year.  As we rely on so many businesses for donations and trophies where many have not worked for so long not knowing if they will even be able to reopen?   The decision was made to cancel for 2020.

Be Safe and Let’s get through this in unison

Due to the Covid19 pandemic, the Coasters Car Club has decided to cancel our Sleepy Hollow rod run and Show & Shine scheduled for August 7 & 8, 2020.  We will be back next year to celebrate our 25th anniversary.  We wish everybody good health and stay safe.   The Coasters Car Club
