Some tours this year would be amazing!
It's too bad about ZFest this year. I hope the club can carry over any expenses and bookings😀 into next year. I'm personally looking forward to meeting everyone again when we can safely get together again !
Keep us Eastern On owners in the loop ..Maybe able to meet if not to far .
We will have ZFest next year at the Warplane Museum if everything works out
Boo I think I’ve only Missed one or two since I bought my Z 12 years ago.
good call. would be nice to do something in the fall though - here's hoping.
The Strathroy Caradoc Cruisers are going to host a Fall Colour Cruise in late September or early October. I will keep everyone posted as I believe we will have the firm date set at this evening's meeting.
Check the forum. We have something for you.
