Greetings, fellow Scions Of Lucas!
This is to announce the Summer SOL Meet, held in conjunction
with the Palo Alto All-British Car Show and American MGB
Association National Convention. It's a low-key but fun
affair, with a mountain tour, a car show, some videos,
and a chance to meet some of our fellow SOLs in person.
The event takes place over the course of two days:
Saturday, September 12 Santa Cruz Mountain Tour, starting from the
Palo Alto Elks Club parking lot on El Camino
Real near West Charleston, leaving at 9:30 AM.
(Details below.)
Sunday, September 13 All-British Car Show, El Camino Park, Palo
Alto, California (across from the Stanford
Shopping Center). Includes AMGBA hospitality
tent with MGB racing videos, technical videos,
highlights of past conventions, technical
sessions, and club officials. Informal dinner
after the meet to introduce one another.
For the Tour, we suggest having breakfast either at Hobee's directly
across the street or at Denny's half a block away. Try to be at the
parking lot before 9:30; we will be forming tour groups and having
introductions, giving directions, and otherwise pretending we're
organized for about half an hour before we leave.
There will be time and opportunity to stop for groceries, sandwiches
and other snacks on the tour, or you can bring a picnic lunch from
home. The tour will last until early afternoon (2:00 or 2:30) after
which we'll be splitting up to do any cleanup required for the show
the next day.
The tour is expecting a number of guests from other clubs: the Reno
MG Club and the Redding British Car Clubs have indicated an interest
in the meet, and we'll have a number of other British-car owners from
the Bay Area present, so you'll have a chance to see some cars that
you might not be familiar with and get to know new people. It's
also said to be an award-winning tour, and I'm looking forward to it.
Hope to see a lot of you there!
--Scott
