Hello Alpine and Tiger listers:
Here's advance web notice of the announcement that will be in the next Tiger
Tales (the CAT newsletter):
> CAT HOLIDAY PARTY, Plus BRITISH CAR MEET preceeding it (details below)
> DEC. 2 (SUNDAY) AT 4 P.M.
>
> As usual, Steve & Jane Sage are hosting the 2001 CAT Holiday Party
> dinner that takes place this year on Sunday, December 2, at 4 PM.
> Location is at the Valley Ranch Barbeque restaurant, 16623 Sherman Way,
> Van Nuys, California (2 blocks east of Balboa Blvd, which crosses the
> Ventura 101 Freeway....their phone is 818 989-1300). We usually get 35
> or 40 Sunbeamers for this so don't be a party pooper and not show up. If
> you haven't come to one of these blow outs, ask someone who has and
> they'll tell you they're always a lot of fun. We've got the whole
> outdoor patio reserved for us (they can't throw us all out for
> misbehaving, can they?). For $20 each you get to choose from three
> main courses, plus soup or salad, a pie desert, sodas, tips and taxes.
> The joint is packed all the time, parking is good, the food is really
> good, and the people there are very friendly, so we hereby order you to
> come.
>
> Instead of a raffle this year, we figured well try this: Everyone bring
> one gift suitable for another Sunbeamer. We'll hand out tickets to
> everyone who's brought a gift, and mix up the duplicate numbers in a hat
> or something and this way everyone who brings something will get
> something else for a holiday prize. Whatdya think? Well, that's what
> we're doing anyway, so like it or lump it! Questions, to RSVP (let us
> know if you're coming , if you can, as it makes it easier for the
> restaurant), or whatever? Call Steve & Jane at (818)594-7254 or e-mail
> us at: ssage@socal.rr.com
>
> Here's the really good part. The holiday party brilliantly described
> above will be preceeded by the Los Angeles British Car Meet at Woodley
> Park, after which (it usually wraps up around 3-3:30) Sunbeams there
> will head to the BBQ just a few blocks away (but you don't have to be at
> the park to go to the BBQ). This is one of the best car meets anywhere,
> in a great setting (on the grass and under the trees at the park) so you
> should go, and there are usually literally hundreds of British
> cars of all years attending.
>
> Here's the official press release from that event.
> "Be part of the biggest all British automotive lawn event in Southern
> California. 400 classic, quirky and thoroughly lovable British cars are
> expected to fill the field at Woodley Park in Van Nuys, for the 20th
> annual Los Angeles British Car Meet.
>
> Don't have a show car? Don't worry! Daily drivers, vintage racers,
> street rods and works in progress are as welcome as Concours quality
> show cars. Great British food, live jazz, vendors and more fun than
> you'll be able to tolerate! People's Choice awards will be given in five
> classes. There is no pre-registration. Cars will be placed in the field
> starting at 9 AM and the fun goes on all day long. The registration fee
> is $20 per car at the gate. All participants will recieve a
> commemorative gift. Spectators park and attend free."
