A very good show, my son and I enjoyed it a lot. He liked doing the obstacle course. It was good to see all the different vehicle's.

Thank you to all the volunteer's for their hard work, bravo.

Yikes... Founders Day is like Christmas Day, it has so much prep and lead up with the organization and set up, then BAM! its all over before you know it and we are left with good memories and a big grin!

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback, its only once a year we make a big effort to get as many Land Rovers under the same roof at one time as possible and we really appreciate those who made the effort to attend, with an extra mention to those who came up from far like the US, BC interior, Alberta and from Vancouver Island. This is truly the Largest Indoor Land Rover Event on the West Coast.

We had a record 88 Land Rovers drive into the show this year and the huge raffle of Land Rover related and Camping goodies. A BIG thank you for all that donated to the raffle and all those that bought raffle tickets and club merchandise. This all goes towards covering the cost of the event and preparing the club for a good year of upcoming events.

The Log Obstacle Course was again popular (to spectate and drive) and did a great job of showing what even a standard Land Rover can drive through and over. Thank you again for all those who came early and stayed late to help set up and break down the event.

Cheers,
Andy

Door to Door it was 1068km of breath taking scenery and breath holding road carnage on the way there an home. A lot of stupids on the highways this weekend :blackeye:

But it was well worth the drive down there!!! Great Show, better then last years too! And a really good opportunity to see and meet folks from previous trips or from discussions on the forum. Thanks for putting on this great event.....I'll be seeing you next year again :D

Andy -- Thanks for posting (although I see that you spent quite a bit of time in Series Land and Defender World, but never quite made it over to Disco Row...presumably so you wouldn't contract the somewhat contagious head-gasket affliction that some of us have experienced from time to time!). Excellent photos, and I have to say that I had an excellent time meeting a lot of people and admiring 88 very cool vehicles!

Thank you to all who made this event a success!

Pamela asked me to mention she has also posted all the awards photos in the gallery now.
