It’s meeting time again September 18th, 2025, 7pm at the Slovak Legion
Please join the regulars who arrive at 6pm in order to avail themselves of the great food and a bit of mostly OK beers. Nothing English you understand. So there goes the neighbourhood. But yee can’t be too crackered and creamed to enjoy a pig’s ear but if you’re plannin’ on gettin’ Brahms & Liszt yer trouble & strife won’t be none too pleased. Or as my Curtis relatives in the Beautiful South would say: it’s per ardua for we lovers of Lost & Grounded Keller Pils who has to go without in this (former) Colony. This Bristol-brewed lager is unfiltered, unpasteurised, and hazy. Kinda like me. Blimey! Or when I’m visiting my property in Ireland: ‘Ara! Are you coddin??? Whaddya mean I gotta order it online from the blu-dee Saxons?! Actin’ the maggots them eejits are…

Invitation
2026 Red River Rendezvous
Planning for our Rendezvous, to be held June 11-13 next year, is well under way by the 22 members of our organizing committee representing the BCCM, AHCM and the MCMG (see list below). We have had 3 general meetings already, the last one at the Selkirk Golf Club where we plan to hold our Thursday “meet and greet” and our Saturday “windup banquet”.
Although not cast in stone, in between the meet and greet and the banquet we have a great event coming together that will continue Friday morning with guided and self guide tours to the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada, potentially Lower Fort Garry and an excursion to Gimli. On Friday afternoon we will have parking lot activities at the Canalta Hotel Selkirk that will include the valve cover racing, pit stop challenge and potentially a funkahana followed by a picnic in the park Friday evening. Saturday will start with pictures, a poker rally and then our charity car show on the waterfront. The event will cap off with the banquet at the golf course.
Now that we have a name for our Rendezvous we need a logo. Our logo will be use on all advertising and correspondence related to the event including posters, banners, signs and what ever event gift we include in the registration bag. We are asking anyone with an idea for a logo to submit it to us by July 6th at Peter Foreman’s block party. Once we have all the submissions we will turn them over to someone with experience in graphic arts and then have our committee vote on them.
Lastly, we would like to encourage everyone who wants to be close to the action to call the Canalta Hotel at 204 482 7474 and book your room. Just mention 2026 Rendezvous to get the discounted rate.
Held as part of Labour Day activities, more than 60 vehicles were on display for the annual Labour Day Car Show during the Nipigon Fall Fishing Festival.
Coming June 27th. Shall we..?
T’is the season to be driving. As a result our next meeting will be this September at the Slovak Legion 801 Atlantic Ave

Grace Place was the chosen charity for our donation this year. They provide shelter, warmth and food to people in need.
