Calendar of Events

ASSUME ALL EVENTS LISTED HEREIN HAVE BEEN LISTED AS OPTIONS FOR THE CLUB TO ATTEND. ANY EVENTS TO BE PROMOTED AS A CLUB EVENT WILL BE ANNOUNCED BY SEPARATE EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE. 

Generally speaking our "driving season" begins in April and ends in Oct. The events below are events that we have attended in the past or may plan on attending in the new season. Events will be confirmed closer to the actual dates. Events may be attended by one or more cars depending upon club interest. If you have an event on the horizon that you would like to see attended by any or all, bring the issue up either via email correspondence or at the monthly club dinner social. If applicable we can then add it to the website under the Current Calendar of Events. The more the merrier. 
 

Monthly social gatherings have been reduced for 2026, based around a restaurant evening dinner, arranged usually for every second Tuesday of each month (with exceptions this year) alternating between Renfrew and Pembroke/Petawawa. Jeff Filsinger will coordinate these dinner socials via email each Tues before. 

If you are interested in attending any of these, email or phone other members to see if anyone else is interested.
