Saanich Restoration Fair June 4th

#1 Post by Rob » Tue May 09, 2023 8:54 am

The Old English Car Club Annual Restoration Fair will be at Heritage Acres, Saanich on June 4th.
Vendors can set up after 7:30AM.
Gates open to the public at 10AM.
The event will wrap up by 4PM.

There\s usually a small contingent of us unwashed Rover-types scattered amongst cute little sporties... anyone planning to attend this year?

Cheers, Rob

Hi Rob

I am planning to go I should have at least one running rover by then.
Maybe we should set up a meeting place in Duncan for the ride down over the dreaded Malahat (safety in numbers), one of us likely has a tow rope.
Maybe the dog house parking lot like we did the one year? Say at 7:30 am on Sunday June 4th.

The gates are open at I think 8:00 for British cars coming in to be on display. The general paying public can come in to admire our rovers at 10:00.

Talk soon Victor

Hi Rob

Sounds good, see you guys then the dog house opens at 6:00 am if you need more coffee after the drive down from Ladysmith.
Good idea to bring the trailer the swap meet that's part of the show sometimes has some real treasures.

Hi Rob

Sorry I will not have a running rover out yet for the Sanichton fair, so have fun I wont be attending. I'm really hoping to have at least the blue one out for the 20th Van Isle Rover Rally but its not looking good I will likely just be attending in the Mustang, which will be parked in the " other car parking area" so the t-shirt booth will be based out of the Mustang instead of the dormobile.
