We only get together once a year at 3Bs which is great. But we should plan on meeting up at least on April 17th for the MR swap meet or the Classic and Custom Auto show is at the Tradex that weekend. If you want to meet at the MR swap meet the Billy Miner Pub is 5 minutes away.
By the way, I don't know how many people are interested in the BC Pioneer Truck club. I joined last month and the dues are only $10 a year, for a family!!!! If you want to join, The GENERAL MEETINGS are held at Harmsworth Hall 7170 — 232nd Street, Langley. B. C. (just south of the #1 freeway at the 232nd Street Exit) starting at 11:30 am. Please bring some type of food (sandwiches, cheese & crackers, veggies, fruit, appetizers, sweets, are a few ideas) for our potluck lunch which is held after the meetings. The club provides coffee, pop, and water. The next meeting is this Sunday March 6.

Yeppers. I remember the Christmas dinners. I remember the first time was Whitespot in Langley, a diner in Cloverdale, New York Greek restaurant in Surrey, a Pub in Saanich, several times at Mission Springs, Shady Grove and a pub after that, and a lot of car shows, a wrecking yard off of Marine drive,... and probably a lot more.

When I was teaching there was a drama teacher whose husband was a cardio specialist. I have a congenital heart defect, so I constantly teased her to get me a pass from her husband.

I'm going, I will probably go to either Billy MIner's or Mission Spring fro lunch if anyone wants to do a group lunch. I was going to check out Billy's during the week. I haven't been there for years. Mission Springs bought them out.

That's why we didn't see you. We were forced to drink beer at Billy Miner's by that time. Except for Boyd he was into the Royal Crown, cola that is.

Wish all of that activity was here on the island. Ferry fares are pretty pricey and most of the time you need a reservation.

Yes. I would go to the island more often if it wasn't so expensive. One of the first BC Bolter get togethers was in Saanich. We ended up spending the night at a B&B and riding the ferry to Port Angeles.

Saanich truck meet. Still have photos of that day in the rain. One truck sold but we never saw it again and another was scrapped. Another was up for sale and another retired and one just disappeared. Still have mine.
Tried to resurrect the ride a few times but there were always excuses like golf or its going to rain!

Sedewick, are you in the Courtney area? I am trying to recall if you are the one with the cider business. Is that you, or am I thinking of another bolter?

Hello just signed up, in POCO. Posted a note in paint and body, trying to find the correct colour code (red) for the fender emblems on my 57 Chevrolet pickup. The closest I can find is #70704 Crimson red, but it looks pretty orange. Thanks in advance for any help.
