The Vancouver All British Field Meet (ABFM) is scheduled to occur on Saturday, May 16th. This long-running ABFM is held in the gorgeous park-like setting of the VanDusen Botanical Gardens in Vancouver B.C. located at 37th & Oak Street (which is the extension of I-5/Highway 99 just shortly after you come out of the tunnel that passes under the Fraser River, heading north).

As many of you know, I have been talking with members of the Lotus Car Club of British Columbia (LCCBC) about getting together with members of our club during the car show and possibly after the show for dinner... if you are interested in doing either or both of these things, please get in touch with me.

I also checked out several motels that it might be appropriate to stay in (either the night before or the night after, or both) and I have selected the Days Inn - Metro which is located on Kingsway which is only about 15 minutes to the east of Oak Street... call them at 1-800-546-4792, ask for Christine and the AAA/CAA discount. It should be $ 98.10 Canadian plus 15% Vancouver City Tax. It's not a fancy motel, but they do have nice/free off-street parking. My wife and I will be staying there both Friday (May 15th) and Saturday (May 16th) night.

If any of you are interested in "caravanning" up to Vancouver early Friday morning, May 15th, please give me a call or send me an e-mail.
