well gang,
i can finally give all interested parties an update on our annual NOVA/ACADIAN cruise.
after much consideration,we have decided that some things were "working" and some things weren't. Lil' deuceII(todd) and me have made several changes to our annual cruise with several goals in mind;
#1-make this more family oriented.
#2-make it more convenient with a cruise that will keep us closer to greater vancouver.
#3-allow better access for long-haulers to join in and not miss all the fun
#4-end it with a BBQ,instead of a pub visit.
#5-reduce sponsors and concentrate on the cars and the car people.
#6-move it to Sunday June 14th to allow for better weather(we hope...).
sooooo.......here's what we've done.
firstly,the NEW name will be the "MAXIMUM NOVA/ACADIAN CRUISE.i know,i know,,,,not as catchy as the old one,but Todd insisted,as the cruise will no longer visit Hope,B.C.(a.k.a. silvercreek),hence the name change.
next, THE ROUTE...
we will start in central SURREY (newton area) and loop through North Surrey,east to Aggassiz,across the Fraser river,and west back to Maple Ridge.
there will be several designated stops(T.B.A.) that will allow people easy access to join the cruise part way through if they're running late or are concerned about cruising too long(4:56 gears,etc...:devil and we will be ending back in a suburb of Vancouver to keep folks closer to home for the end of the event.
the times and checkstops will be announced in the next two weeks after todd and i drive the whole route.we want this to go smoothly and feel there's some merit to knowing EXACTLY how long each leg is,where the rest-stops will be,and having convenient parking for all participants.
there will be a few jobs to assign,so let me know if you can help.
ideally,we'll need a couple of cruise captains,some cruise poster distributors,and a few folks to assist in the BBQ set-up and related party at our final destination.
we will have few sponsors,but so there will be a minor cost to all entries,but i stress MINOR,as it's just too expensive to shoulder all the costs myself.there will be free t-shirts included for the first 50 participants,but if we have MORE interest then i'll buy MORE T-SHIRTS.
THIS WILL BE THE OFFICIAL THREAD,SO PLEASE DIRECT ALL QUESTION AND CORRESPONDENSE TO THIS THREAD ONLY!!!
i'd also like a HEAD COUNT if possible.remember,this thread is open to ALL Novas,Omegas,Venturas,Acadians(and yes HENRY....beaumonts are welcome too) on BOTH sides of the border.i'm hoping for some of you guys from the interior and the island as well.this will go RAIN or SHINE!!!
ok,.........i'm done blabbing.
let the headcount begin.
