ASSUME ALL EVENTS LISTED HEREIN HAVE BEEN LISTED AS OPTIONS FOR THE CLUB TO ATTEND. AS NORMALCY IS RETURNING,  ANY EVENTS TO BE PROMOTED AS A CLUB EVENT WILL BE ANNOUNCED BY SEPARATE EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE. EVERYONE STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY. 

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, based around a restaurant evening dinner are arranged for every second Tuesday of each month alternating between Renfrew and Pembroke. Renfrew socials are at Finnigan's Roadhouse, 302 Raglan St S Renfrew. Pembroke socials are at the J & E's Bored N' Saucy restaurant, 185 Pembroke St E, Pembroke ON. Jeff Filsinger will coordinate these dinner socials via email. 

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