Hey everyone,

Ill be emailing out a detailed info package to the registered people hopefully tonight but likely tomorrow.

In the meantime; Friday night meet and greet and unofficial swap meet(for those inclined) 7-9 pm at Orchard Park shopping centre parking lot that runs along Harvey Avenue.

Put the giant Canadian flag at about 9:00 o'clock, the shopping centre at 6:00 and the McDonalds across Harvey Avenue at 12:00 o'clock and you're in the right area. If you see a Datsun, you're probably in the right place.

Cars to be parked adjacent to Harvey Avenue (a.k.a highway 97) to hopefully catch the eye of other Datsun owners just happening by.
