[Alpines] Update - SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA BRITISH CAR MEET - Sept. 6 & 7, 2008

THE  BRITISH  CAR  MEET * 2008
Sierra Point Marina  *  Brisbane, CA
Saturday & Sunday * September 6th & 7th

Dear NorCal British Car Enthusiast,

The Sierra Point British Car Meet in Brisbane is coming along great - This
year, the food and drink will be handled by the Brisbane Lions Club, that will
have their grill trailer with burgers, dogs, and (hopefully) bangers all day
plus cold drinks, but get this!!!  The Sierra Point Yacht Club will open their
doors early on Sunday for a reasonable, sit-down, prix fix breakfast, AND,
they also have a full bar that will be open all day as well ......

Herb Gibson's Jazz Orchestra will be back again, set up just outside the Yacht
Club.

Due to a number of reasons, the Saturday swap meet has been canceled for this
year, but it will seriously be reconsidered for next year.

Even though this event is brought to you by the same folks who coordinated the
Palo Alto Meet for 30 years, this is a new location with new challenges and
requirements and we are working hard to provide a similar event at a
reasonable price. This year, we are going back to collectable year-specific
event coffee mugs for gifts.

If you belong to a club, make sure the general membership knows about this
Sierra Point meet - meet old friends in a new location - carrying on the
tradition.

Cheers,

Rick Feibusch
Meet Coordinator
