Chapter – Edmonton Classic Sports Car Club

Edmonton Classic Sports Car Club
Website

The Edmonton Classic Sports Car Club is a unique Club with Great Members!

Founded in 1969 as the Edmonton MG “T” Club, it has evolved to it’s present form when more and more older Sports Cars became “Special Cars”.

All Sports Cars are Acceptable in the club whether they are mint stock, personalized, radically customized, restored, well used or replicated. The cars are the real members and they can have just as many personalities as their custodians have. A Rusty ’70 Sprite and the kid that owns it, loves it and drives it, is as important to the Club as the fortunate member who buys a pristine restored Sports Car to tow to a show, but both are welcome, as each has something unique to contribute. You do not have to own the best Sports Car, nor the most expensive car, nor any car, to be a member, to be accepted and to join in event.

Membership is open to all who own, love, or love/hate a Classic Sports Car (or aspire to any of the above) in what we consider classic wind-in-the-face-, top down motoring! We even recognize the occasional Coupé. We ask only that every member thrill to the crisp shift at the top end of the R.P.M. scale, tingle to a staccato exhaust note on a still fall day and have an on-going love affair with the “ Sport of Cars”

Sports Car talk keeps the meetings very informal. Votes, reading of minutes, rules of order and the like, are rarely necessary. The Elected leaders look after the Club’s required business at executive meetings to which all members are welcome.

The Club holds a wide variety of planned and impromptu events centered around the driving of Sports Cars, with the emphasis on family fun. Event costs are kept low and good food is usually part of our outings.

The Open Road, the newsletter of the Edmonton Classic Sports Car Club is produced on average eleven times a year. The newsletter features regular columns, original articles, technical tips, Club news and accounts of what members are up to with their Sports Cars. Distribution of the newsletter via email as a PDF. This has allowed us to exchange newsletters with clubs across Canada and as far away as Australia. Those who choose to receive a newsletter via post may do so but do not receive the exchange newsletters.

Meetings are held the third Wednesday of the Month except for December at 7:30 p.m. at the Royal Alberta Museum, 12845 102 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
