A message from Ken Begg

To all members of the Coasters Car Club

Just a note to let you know what is or is not happening.

We have tried a couple of times now to have an Executive meeting but the Government and the Health officials have said only “Critical Services” can be held at this time.  I have also been in contact with the District of Sechelt and their office is not issuing any Special Event Permits at this time.  They too are waiting for restrictions to be lifted or eased from Victoria.

When the restrictions have been lifted we will have a meeting to see if we have enough time to put together a show in 2021 or not.  If you have any questions or ideas on what you would like to see happen and offer your services to make them happen please e-mail Dianne Allen (Secretary and Activities Person)

dnallen6518@gmail.com     Your input is most welcomed.

We have delivered flowers to Louis Vignal and family for their Loss of their wife, mother and grandmother Darlene Vignal.

I have members cards to show membership for discounts at Lordco/ Kenmac and Napa for discounts on your automotive parts.  Please contact me at 604-989-8411 to arrange the pick up of your card.  For the Pender Harbor members please contact Glen Tietjen at 604-741-7925 for pick up of cards.

I hope this finds you all well and looking forward to the day we can all meet again….

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.

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.

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 27^th, 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

Coasters,

Al Hemstreet has made arrangements to have Coasters Car Club T shirts for this year, the year of Covid19, made available for sale to the members.

Al Hemstreet reports that tee shirt orders have been coming in to him, and that he will continue to accept tee shirt orders until Saturday, August 8^th.

As below, to order tee shirts please text Al at 604.741.1103, specifying the quantity and the size(s) that you wish to order.

Here is the image on the tee shirts:

He comments that the tee shirts are done with the contrast stitch which he likes because they don’t pill and fit a little bigger.

To order tee shirts please text Al at 604.741.1103, specifying the quantity and the size(s) that you wish to order. The cost is expected to be about $25 per tee shirt.

James Taylor,

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.
