We enjoyed a beautiful day outside surrounded by a large assortment of beautiful cars. Many sports cars including some Lotus’s, older muscle cars, and the usual Corvettes, Camaros and Mustangs were there. Not to forget the $260k Lamborghini. We had 16 members in attendance with 10 club members’ Miatas and there may have been a few more there too. After chatting it up in the parking lot we moved inside Red Robin for our quarterly lunch meeting.
Don Wahl led the meeting with much of the conversation discussing future events. These will be detailed in our activities column but a couple to note are the February event to visit a civil war site and bluegrass festival and a multiple day trip in October to the Blue Ridge Parkway area.
Other business included a reminder membership renewal is due now with dues remaining $15 per car. Also we will be offering a one year free club membership to anyone buying a new Miata at Stevenson Mazda.
Our April quarterly meeting will move to Rucker Johns on Carolina Beach Rd. at Monkey Junction. Following that everyone is invited to the Reinmann’s for desserts.
