Welcome to Spring(ish) all BLCC Members and fans out there! This weekend is daylight savings roll forward so don't forget to change all of those 40 year old clocks forward one hour in your classic cars. I'd hate for you to show up to meetings and hour late.

Stay tuned to the Blog over the next week because we have a bunch of updates on members cars and projects that happened over the winter.

Next meeting is at Ken Varley's shop on March 15th at 7pm. Please DO NOT bring birthday presents, it embarrasses him. If you don't know where it is located, go to Heath & Laurie's and honk your horn. Failing that, call 416-453-8627 and Ken will come pick you up on his mini bike.

Picture
Anyhow... This meeting is going to be off the charts so mark it in your calendar and plan to be there. This year if going to be more focused on club events like cruises and get together opportunities than spending all of our time concentrating on the Car Show. We will be looking for new ideas, please bring them forward if you are willing to spearhead implementation of the idea. The last thing we need is somebody with a ton of good ideas that expects the rest of the club to organize. 
Wait to see what we have in store!

Hey BLCC Team Members, there is no meeting this week the next scheduled meeting is October the 19th at 7pm. We will post the location in a few weeks. We will be conducting our annual vote for leadership positions. If you want to knock King Fred off out of the Presidential position, throw your hat in the ring. It may be improbable but not impossible.

To all members of the BLCC. Thank you for all of your support this year organizing the Car Show. We don't always agree on everything but we always respect each other. We also have the best intentions for organizing our car show.

We have lost and gained new members over the years, please keep this in mind...
New members will breathe new life, new skills and new ideas into the club, making us stronger.
Members that exit the club will also strengthen us by leaving with their lack of commitment, self serving attitudes, arrogance and Pete's Maui Jim's!

Keep up the great work and let's make the 2018 car show one to remember!

Car Show??? More Like Belwood Invasion!!

9/11/2017

WOW... I have no idea where to start... Every year this show increases in attendance, popularity and quality of cars. At least that is what people tell me, I was stuck in the food tent all day ensuring that all those hungry customers experienced the best meat ever slid between soft buns. 

Final car count was 300+ registered and another 50 to 100 non-registered.

We could not have pulled this off without all of the people that decided to make a pit stop during their Sunday Cruise and hang out with some like minded individuals. Roger the Deejay was as excellent and accommodating as usual. Let's not forget all of the BLCC Members that hosted this event.

Here are a few pictures. Stay tuned for the official 2017 Car Show Gallery after I wrestle the pictures off of the attractive young lady that volunteered to take photo's.

Belwood Lake Car Club Gives Back to One of Our Greatest Supporters

8/19/2017

 Mike and Julie Woelfle  have supported us for 4 years with managing our BBQ. There is no possible way that we could pull off the mouth watering meals without their help! It was time to give back this year with a catering style BBQ.

Please support these pillars of the community by stopping in for some tasty butter tarts at the Belwood Market next time you are in town!

Below you can see Pete and Ron "Customizing" the BBQ. Never give car guys a reason to modify something!
Picture
Sorry about the "Flash Glare" on this picture folks. For some reason Ron took his hat off.
Picture
Look for Belwood Lake Car Club Branded BBQ's in a store near you!

Here is when we presented it to Mike.
