Santa Cruz British Car Club: EVENTS

Events:

The Santa Cruz Club has a long and event filled history. In years past, the club attended all types of British Car events from shows to the historic races. We often had 10 to 20 cars to show up for these classic car activities.

If you want to attend an event, it is extremely important that you notify Bill Meade by e-mail (billmeade@charter.net) as soon as possible so that he can see how many people want to participate in each event. If people wait until the last minute to register, the event could be canceled because not enough people expressed interest.

The following is the tentative schedule subject to change due to weather:
Red events indicate ones the club voted to participate in for 2010.
Bold Black indicates some optional events members can choose to attend or lead a club group. If you want to ad or lead any event call Bill Meade 831-722-3253.
