In deepest Sympathy

It is with Our Deepest Sympathy we announce the passing of Darlene Vignal, wife of Louis Vignal of Sechelt.  Louis and Darlene have been long standing members of the Coasters Car Club.  As club members know, Louis was instrumental in creating Sleepy Hollow.  Darlene battled hard with her illnesses and sadly she succumbed on March 1st,  2021.  Darlene will be sadly missed by all who knew her.  Our condolences to Louis, Louis Jr, Lisa and families.

Free Ford F150

We have a old Ford F150 pickup truck that we would like to offer to any of your club members who may be looking for parts etc. This would be of no charge simply your cost to tow away. The truck has been sitting since 2004 and was aprox 10 years old at the time. If anyone is interested I have pictures or can arrange to have you come over to see it. The vehicle is in Sechelt.

Regarding Sunshine Coast Mustangers Cruise In

This from Bill Stevenson:

Good morning SCM,

Well, it looks like the “fickle finger of weather fate” is moving in tomorrow with a 100% chance of rain for our area. It is very frustrating when an event we have been anticipating does not come to fruition because of the weather, especially when it is a charity event.

However, we all realize the necessity rain plays in our community and will hope that as it is coming, that it will help to replenish our critical potable water supply. It will also give our gardens, forests and the creatures who inhabit our area, some relief from the heat we have been enduring.

I wish the A&W much success in their “Burgers to Beat MS” event tomorrow. If you are in the area of either the Sechelt or Gibsons A&W, I hope you will give a thought to helping them in this most worthy cause, by making a purchase or donation to help them out.

Looking ahead to next Thursday the 27th, it is at this time looking like a sunny day is forecast. With that in mind, I hope to see you back at the Sechelt Tims at 7:00 PM for our last C3 (Cars, Coffee and Conversation) event this August.

If for some unforeseen reason, the weather tomorrow turns into a non rain day, then I will be pleased to see you at the Sechelt A&W from 5 to 7 PM.

Thanks everyone.

Bill

Sleepy Hollow Consolation run

 

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 7th 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!
