Thanks Enrique! I appreciate your input. I'll update the calendar after our next meeting on the 10th and add your input as well.

Of course you are welcome to join us for ANY events! Kathleen and I would love to see you again at one of our little Formula One Breakfasts.

 

[FRBL-XL5]

Please give more info on the Mid Atlantic club wine tour hookup. And the Pittsburgh GP. Time is running out especially for the wine tour. Thanx

 

[Alex Csank]

OK. I am not sure if you are a member of the Capital Chapter AROC or not Mr. FRBL-XL5, or even if you live in the area. However, all the information we have is provided in our monthly newsletters called 'Alfantics'. This publication is a part of the chapter benefits, and is available online for members. Please consider becoming a member of AROC and our chapter if you live nearby. I would appreciate it if you would put more info in your signature, like a name and where you hail from, as that will let folks know that you aren't just some 10 year-old from Lower Butt Wipe, Malaysia or something. Last point - if you ever need the details of any upcoming event, just e-mail or call me. My signature has all the information you need. I have nothing to hide and Im pretty friendly.

Regarding the Pittsburgh GP, information on that event is readily available online at Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Association. That would give you the best updated info. Our club is participating by attending. Some of our members have registered for the Concours and we are encouraging all members to attend.

Our 'Giro di Campagna' tour should hook up with MAARC at some point along the route. I dont have all the details, but you can contact the individual who is running the event.

Here is a write-up about the event:

Giro di Campagna

Weekend in the Countryside - Lexington VA April 18 - 20

Reservations are now being accepted and we anticipate the limited number of slots will be taken quickly. This year’s trip promises to be every bit as much driving fun and as gastronomically satisfying as last year’s. We are also sponsoring another Alfa Fun Photo Competition and hope that everyone will bring their cameras and participate.
Situated approximately 3 hours from DC, the Lexington-Staunton area presents some of the finest Alfa roads and most inspiring pastoral scenery available in the mid-Atlantic area. This event emphasizes Alfa-style touring, good food and good times. Each driving segment will span approximately 1 - 1 1/4 hours and there will be ample breaks. Meal tabs will be done by couple enabling everyone to indulge according to their own tastes and interests.
The weekend begins on Friday April 18, leaving the DC area at 2:00 p.m. for a direct trip on interstates to Lexington. A group dinner is scheduled for that evening at a bistro in Lexington. Alternatively you can plan your own
itinerary and meet the group on Friday night or join it at 8:30 on Saturday morning when we assemble to begin the tour.
Lexington and Staunton have old-fashioned town centers with interesting shops, restaurants and coffee spots, so on Saturday we’ll have a 2 1/2 hr mid day break, long enough to enjoy a leisurely lunch and do a bit of self-directed touring on foot in Staunton. Within easy walking distance are an antique and vintage car dealer and an assortment of interesting diversions: galleries, clothing, antique and book stores and other assorted shops. Following the afternoon drive, we’ll be back in Lexington in time to enjoy its offerings before dinner.
We have reserved a block of rooms with an excellent price break at the charming Maple Hall Country Inn which provides an excellent staging site for the tour.

Rooms with 1 queen or 2 twin beds are $ 105. per night (regularly $ 145.00) .
Suites, with queen bed and sitting room with sofa are available at $ 135. (reg.$175.00).
ROOM RESERVATIONS: All room reservations must be made directly with the property. Rooms/suites at Maple Hall will only be held until March 30. Reservations & information on Maple Hall: Historic Country Inns Of Lexington, 3 unique midprice Inns
Telephone 877 283 9680
RIDE RESERVATIONS: Please email David Wase [email protected] as soon as possible, but no later than March 20 to register for the event.
