Type 3 listees -- this show coming up in a couple of days, on Sunday, April 25 in Madera, California (near Fresno) is my personal all-time favorite show. The location is fairly pleasant, dirt cheap to get in, stuff for kids to do, cheap food for sale -- and a HUGE turnout with... hundreds? of cars. I took the Squareback last year... this year I'll be rolling on the same set of wheels... literally! ...but they'll be carrying a beige '69 Bug. (I "stole" the Square's tires & wheels, as they're in better shape, prettier, and I only have Type 3 beauty rings.) So, really, this is a fantastic show (more info below), and I encourage folks to check it out. We'll be camping out at the fairgounds Saturday night... I can't wait! -Greg ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: [T3K] Madera Announcement From: "Ruiz, Raul" <rruiz@ebmud.com> Date: Thu, April 22, 2004 11:00 am To: raru@solyfunk.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, I hope people had a good time at Kelley Park last weekend, I know I did. It was good to meet some of the new people I've been conversing with over email, as well as see some of the old faces that haven't been around in a bit. As an update to the club, it has been decided that during the show season, the club will focus on one event per month and group it with the monthly meeting. For April, that show was Kelley Park. However, there is nothing precluding folks for caravanning and meeting up at other shows throughout the season, and you know we will. Thus, the announcement. For those interested, there are already a few members planning on going to the Madera show this weekend. If you'd like to caravan down, or meet up at the show, give me a hollar (510.435.2021 or at raru@solyfunk.com). There are some folks planning on going Saturday to camp out and those of us that will be driving out Sunday morning. Hope we get more folks!
