I forgot to post about the January meet, probably because it was only shortly after our Christmas / New Year meet! :oops: Anyway, I've uploaded some pictures of it to the gallery and also some pictures of Volvo of Edmontons display at the Motor Show last weekend;

Would Valentine ever host an event? So sad.

You know what... give them a year or so to realize what Volvo of Edmonton is doing for us has it's benefits, then they'll come looking for the Calgary club, in my opinion...

I believe Mike, the managing partner for Volvo of Edmonton has experience with supporting a club from working in a Ford shop... that was a great success for them. Everyone at the Edmonton dealer is really enthusiastic though, which is awesome. It's an exciting time! :)

In July we're aiming for a province-wide show and over the better weather months we're switching the monthly meets to a Sunday afternoon - Volvo of Edmonton want to cater for the Calgary Club here as well as other Volvo owners from around Alberta - we're hoping you guys can make it up to some. 8)

I also have a couple of joint venture runs/events I'd like to talk with you guys about also (which won't be Edmonton based)!

I'm pretty sure we did a couple of years ago. Maybe it's time to try again. You need to talk to Ted anyway, right?

Even if they would be interested in sponsoring a quarterly meeting. That way we can we can meet at several key places, Bert & Jacks, Valentine, Edmonton Volvo, Willow Park Wines (oop did I say that out loud?)

I am in for an Edmonton gathering, would be a fun summer day

Another one bits the dust! :mrgreen: Not as big a turn-out as usual, everyone seemed busy this month!

Lots of chit-chat, food, drink and plenty of nice cars to boot; highlight of the night was the '93 850 20v manual, Volvo of Edmonton took in as a trade-in and one of the members snapped it up for $500. Nice car, too.

Clickity click for pictures!

Spring is coming and I can't wait! :biggrin:
