It's just been announced......The Edmonton - All British Field Meet will be held Saturday, June 13th from 11am to 4pm, at Laurier Park (Edmonton Valley Zoo) Event will be co-ordinated by Dave and Mike Heathcote.
We've always had a good showing at this event and I'm hoping we'll do even better this year. Now....let's get Craig started on the Pulled Pork and Pulled Beef Sandwiches again. And best of all...the whole day is free to our members (except entrance into the zoo...http://www.edmonton.ca/attractions_events/edmonton_valley_zoo/admission-hours.aspx (http://www.edmonton.ca/attractions_events/edmonton_valley_zoo/admission-hours.aspx))
Details to follow as they develop .....

We need a co-ordinator to represent the club at the Meet. Simple job really...keep track of the numbers coming, member names and vehicle types. Arrange for the club flags and portable shelter to get there and retrieved at the end of the day. Eazy Peazy really.....anyone interested.
And Please....don't wait for someone else to volunteer. Chip in and help a little...... ;)
Not sure I'm going to be back by then, so unfortunately I can't offer much help on this one.
Bill, let's talk next meeting about this.

Dave and Mike Heathcote have stepped forward to co-ordinate the ALRE for this one. And Ian Gates has stepped up to deal with the ALRE member and family lunch. I sure do like it when folks step forward to help out...make life so much easier. Thanks Guys!!!
Details from Mike.
The Alberta All-British Field Meet is on for Saturday, June 13th this year!
Here’s the details:
- We’ll meet up at the Humpty’s Restaurant on 90th Avenue and 170th Street for 8:00am for breakfast.
- At 9:00am, we’ll depart for Laurier Park as a group, hopefully scoring some decent spots for the show. We’d like to have all the vehicles on-site before 10:00am.
- The show itself runs from 11:00am till 4:00pm.
The club will be providing hot dogs for lunch, so we’d like to get a sense of how many trucks and people will be in attendance. If you’d like to attend, can you please respond with a count of vehicles and people that you’ll be bringing? I’ll be working with the All British Motoring Society to make sure they can clear a large enough spot for our group at the show.
Thanks! I was just trying to figure out how to post that... 8)
so who's going to make it out...? I'm in the uk for the event but it sounds like a GREAT venue and with the Zoo right there it looks like a full days event. And looks like a good traditional pulled pork on a bun for lunch with salads and sodas. I'm looking forward to seeing lots of pics of what I'm to be missing out on ;)
Any restrictions on dogs? With all those tires .....

It's a public park so dogs are fine, as long as they are on a leash and you do the courtesy of picking up behind them.;D FYI There is an off leash area immediately to the north (about a 100 yards) of the park we are using for the show so if you'd like to go let the puppy rip around and play with the other dogs, in a safe environment that's a good spot ;-)
Hey Everyone,
We'd like to get a good idea of the numbers that will be in attendance. Ian has been kind enough to co-ordinate the pulled pork, but the order is due in tomorrow.
If you're planning on coming out, can you please reply here, or shoot me a quick email: mike.heathcote@ama.ab.ca So far, we've got 15 people, 7 vehicles and at least 2 dogs that will be in attendance. :D
Here's a quick re-cap of the day:
- Meet at the Humpty’s Restaurant on 90th Avenue and 170th Street for 8:00am for breakfast.
- At 9:00am, we’ll head down to Laurier park in a Rover-convoy, to set up for 10:00am-ish.
- The show will run from 11:00am until 4:00pm.
Hope to see everybody there!
Mike
one more week and show is on! don't forget your lawn chairs and sunhats!!!!
I'm hoping we'll have a couple of new grills there this year.........and I can already think of three, off the top of my hat ;)
Do we have a traditional sauce we use to go with the pulled pork? Never done this before and the meat place said I should use some kind of sauce in the pot with all the meat.

Lots of apple sauce and mustard is the standard, but some folk like bbq sauce too. That pulled porked dished onto a bun then let the individual dole out the toppings to taste and fetch their own salad ;-)
When you reheat the pulled pork do it in a double boiler type set up (pork in pot sitting in another pot of boiling water). Add a bit of water to keep things moist and prevent drying.
mmmmmm I'm getting hungry already and I've just been up to the pub for sunday carvary!?!??
;)
Just water with the meat in the pot? Gotcha.

You bet! Just a little to provide moisture and prevent the meat from drying out. That and the double boiler and you're all set ;-)
Thanks Ian!!
Mike Heathcote is looking for someone in the club to pick up the flags and shelter from Dave Menards place, just off the white mud and 121 st. Can someone help him out with this please? ;)
This is it...bring it on and let's see the land rover shine hahahhahhhahhaa

Couple of pictures from the meet today. Weather was typical UK weather! Wet and cold
Great turn out.
Thanks Mike, Dave and Ian for organizing us on this event.
Cheers
Lots of tasty Land Rovers. Who has the Series One?
Good collection there indeed! I recognised quite a few of them too! the LWT is one of .....Max and Bonnie from Edson, Bruce Taylor from Drayton valley or Emad El-Zein from Edmonton. I don't think Claus's truck is back on the road yet and John's is white. Have I missed anyone..... ;-)
How'd the food work out?
Food was good. Lots of pork left over. Series one was mine.

The food was excellent. Lots to go around. Mike got the canopy from David and brought his own as well. With the rain, they gave us a dry warm spot to relax, eat and chat. Lots of good conversations.
For example, it turned out that Matt and I met at a second cup two to three years ago. At the time I was wearing a Scotish United jersey and that started the conversation. Then, We talked about land rovers. Couple of years later, he is in the club and quite a good member.
Then, came the Lightweight. Named Gertie.. Scott came around and before he left, he saw the name. Boof. It all came alive for him then. The car was owned by a fellow who checked him for medical when he got on the island in his unit. The vehicle was sold in 2008-2009. I bought it last year from the second owner, who was in the navy. With exmilitary cars, history always comes back and stays alive. Love it.
It was great to be our at an event not have to wash the car afterwards...if you got what I mean ;-)
I see Dave's 110 made it down to the show.....How's the 300tdi running??????
yep she made it down, still fitting bits that morning and it had only had a run round the block before driving it to the show. now i have to start getting some mileage on it before the AMT
That's a GREAT start!!!! How does the engine sound now that you've had it out on the road? Good feelings....?

I was over at Dave's yesterday, engine sounds really good. Purrs along nicely
That's great to hear!!!! Especially considering it's history

You missed Matt but Medicine Hat is quite a ways to travel. Mine is in Winter Camo and Max's is a hard top. Claus's isn't on the road so that only leaves Emad.
My LWT was working perfectly, so naturally I decided to strip it down to the chassis and do a full restoration so that is off the road at the moment too. What was I thinking??
Sometimes I don't even make sense to myself!
here is a link for some pictures I received today from Lloyd for our vehicles.
