History Road in the Reynolds Museum located in Wetaskiwin
Club is planning on showing up on Saturday although they are open Sunday too.
Preregister here... https://reynoldsmuseum.ca/events/history-road-ultimate-car-show
Traditionally the ALRE tries to attend one of the car shows en masse (the British field meet or the History Road car show) which unfortunately are both held on the same weekend. We always shoot for the Saturday as very few people have interest in attending both on the same weekend, and it allows those folks from outside of Edmonton some time to travel.
As the ALRE were the featured marque of the ABFM last year we are going to try and get as many of our land rovers out to the HISTORY ROAD event in Wetaskewin this year on SATURDAY, JUNE 8th. For those who wish we will meet at the Saratoga Diner for breakfast before we go and head down in a convoy. That always gets the heads turning as people drive by ;)
We try to set up together as a club so we can display our vehicles proudly, rather then file in by year as the normally do with general entries. It's a good idea to bring a chair with you, but we'll do a Lunch for our gang while we are there as well.
Details for this day will be sent out at the end of May / beginning of june.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there ;D
I'm in for it this year!
Yup, I'll be there as well. Would be nice to set up an interesting camp theme or something... ;D
I will be attending this year also if things work out.
Me thinks I'll be there too! Maybe put the BBQ out with some cheese smokies or pulled pork on a bun with apple sauce and mustard ;D
Well, I've just finished filling in my pre-registration form online. Much better set up this year and lots of room to brag (aka BS) about my Landy!
I will be taking the lead on the 2019 History Road Car Show at the Reynolds Museum in Wetaskiwin, AB Saturday June 8th. And I'm hoping to get lots of our folk out there with their landies and families. The ALRE will be arranging a club display so people can see the development and design changes over the decades. I'm thinking we can do a BBQ or Picnic type lunch while we're there as well.
If you haven't been to this car show it's not all about spit and polish as they try to get cars from ALL eras, makes and models. There is an indoor exhibit of motorcycles, and on going restoration projects, not to mention the massive collection of antique farm equipment that makes up there fence. They also have a small air museum as well.....so it's a good day out for the family.
The folks at the Reynolds Museum would like participants to register by "4:30pm May 27th please, so I would like to encourage everyone to fill in the online registration form sooner rather then later please.
The folks coming from Edmonton will meet up for breakfast on the way out and then travel en masse, spreading our proud grins through the whole group Smile If you have a sankey or roof top tent or a camp trailer please bring them along and set them up for people to see. But remember, Bring a chair and your awning if you like....We can 'set up camp' right there and make ourselves at home for the day.
So...who's going to be joining me?????
Let's make a day of it folks! ;)
Preregister here... https://reynoldsmuseum.ca/events/history-road-ultimate-car-show
I'll be there, may even pop up for breakfast
That will be a real Treat Johno!!! :)
So I guess there's a free pancake breakfast that morning starting at 09:00 hrs at the Wetaskiwin AG society
Oh, now that always sounds good too!!!! But then we wouldn't have the convoy from Edmonton....oh no....decisions, decisions....this is above my pay grade :o

Ok. If Matt is coming up from the far south then Edmontonians have no excuse. I registered my light weight.
Cheers

Hi Matt,
Might you be wanting to pick up your roof rack before the show, to install for the show????
Not sure what's in the other two boxes....roll cage parts maybe...... ???
cheers, Bill
The History Mile Car show in Wetaskiwin is coming up quickly (this Saturday coming up). We have quite a few folks signed up and ready to go but I wanted to send out one last notice to everyone in the club...just in case.....
The Reynolds Museum is asking us to arrive between 8am and 11am to set up. So how about we meet up 7:30 for breakfast at Blackjacks Roadhouse at 2110 Sparrow Dr, Nisku, AB T9E 8A2. This is the Leduc turn off where you can see the Flying J station on the east side of the road. The restaurant is a bit north on the service road. If you don't pre-register don't worry about it. You can do it there when you arrive.
BIG CHANGE FOR BREAKFAST MEETING Due to Biker meeting at same location at same day. We'll will now meet for breakfast At 7:30am at the Saratoga Restaurant and then leave en masse from Saratoga Restaurant around 8:30am for Wetaskiwin, arriving about 9:15am. For those not wish to join us for breakfast you are more then welcome to meet up and join us for the drive down.
SARATOGA is located at:

For those people that will be meeting us in Wetaskiwin ask for the ALRE group site, as we are going to set up together. Or bring the wagons around to set up together. Give your self a bit of space between vehicles for shelter if we need to set up a tarp or three. Remember....Prevailing winds from the west. If we can organise ourselves roughly by year or generation it will give the best chance to show the evolution of our Landies and trailers.
Please come prepared to set up a day camp (chairs, shade, blankets, tarps, etc) rins through the whole group Smile If you have a sanky or roof top tent or a camp trailer please bring them along and set them up for people to see. But remember, Bring a chair and your awning if you like....We can 'set up camp' right there and make ourselves at home for the day.
I will be bringing food for our group so I would appreciate it if everyone coming could let me know (by my email please) how many adults & children are coming in your vehicle please.
Looking forward to seeing the lot of you Winking smile
cheers, Bill Inch

If memory serves, I should have a + 2" suspension kit, rear ladder, rock sliders and the roof rack. Depending on when I can get out of here Friday my loose plan was to drive to Edmonton, pick up my stuff then drive out to Wetaskiwin. Unless some kind soul has room in their unit to take it down to the show?
some of it maybe.....but I can't fit the roof rack inside my truck. And I'm taking a bunch of club stuff down for the event too. Sorry
No worries. I'll come get it. I've only ever seen pictures of the roof rack and I'm unsure of exactly how big it is. Does the roof rack look like it's one piece, or some assembly required?
I'm towing the 110 with my pickup anyway so I'll have lots of room for all my lovely swag 8)

We need an alternate location Bill. Otherwise, the bikers and the Landrover will lockup with a fist fight over breakfast lol
Breakfast......Land Rovers????
No contest. Our gang patch should be a knife and fork!
There goes the neighborhood!!! >:(
They plan on starting at 5am.... Pain in the arse...No pun intended.
Okay....on to Plan 'B'
We are going to meet at the Saratoga Restaurant at 7:30am in stead.

The history mile worked out GREAT!!! Considering the weather we had in the days before we lucked out with beautiful sunny weather until about 2pm when I light shower came by for 15 minutes. Then the sun came out again until 4pm.... But by that time all the really shiny cars had left crying cause their cars go wet ;D
We did have any newer landies at the show this year. But we had 6 older landies meet at Saratoga on Saturday morning.
Lloyd and Bill in the 110 exmod 3dr. (survivor of 3 Alexander Mackenzie trial runs)
Roger and Jeffrey in the d110 CSW sarfari truck with his roof top tent. (survivor of 2 Alexander Mackenzie trial runs)
Glen in his D90 (survivor of 1 Alexander Mackenzie trial run)
Ian and Natalie in his ever classic Series 1 who's age alone has proved it metal.
David M. and his Series 11a 109" Dormobile, which has had two families grow up in.
Colin, who has had several Landies of his own over the years, in his well restored Series 11a
We left en masse to the Reynolds Museum via hwy2a, with Colin and Ian setting a lovely pass through the country.
As we made our way along the final few km to the Reynold Museum we passed a Smittys and their in the parking lot along the road was the expat contingent.
Yoda and Emma's 101 Forward Control gun tractor.......ALWAYS an eye stopper.
Dave L. and Little 'D' in his D110 CSW (survivor of 1 Alexander Mackenzie trial run)
Matt and Joyce's VERY nice 1994 D110 CSW with external roll cage and great big cardboard box tied on top.
And last but not least.....Johno's Tigger 2 (or is it ZULU 2) - The Liverpoole Police Riot wagon that was converted to a very civil (albeit very orange) 110 CSW wagon.
The group from Edmonton pulled over briefly, while Lloyd and I broke ranks, drove passed the dinner waving and headed back for a Timmies. We caught up with the Edmonton group again and set off to claim some territory. By the time the whole group was there we had taken up some prime real estate. Both Jeffrey and David M. set up there tents, while a few of us set up the kitchen & put the water on the boil and the remaining folks pulled down the big box from the top of Matt's truck.
While putting together the lunch I had a peek over toward Matt's truck to see a bunch of guys sitting on a massive cardboard box in a sea of green grass, and the first thought that came to my mine was a bunch of adult males playing in a sand box!!! I Laughed. But that wasn't what they were up to all....they were sorting, assembling and installing the new Safety Device roof rack that was made to fit the Safety Device roll cage he had installed last year. Boy oh boy did that look the part!!! PRIMO!
Lunch was smoked beef brisket soaked in bisto gravy, served on their choice of a whole wheat bun or Yorkshire puddings, with a choice of mustard, horse radish and/or two types of chutneys. And there were three types of salad to choose from as well as beverages. No one went away hungry (I hope) and there were lots of onlookers wondering how they could get in on this action LOL. On a side note....we say the CurbSide food truck there, from Acapella Catering in Edmonton. That food truck serves up some amazing dishes from what I've heard.
A big thanks to all those folks that came out and chipped in setting up camp, helping out in the kitchen, the onsite work project on Matt's truck, answering the visitor's questions, etc!!!! Great Job folks!!!!
So all in all it turned out to be a GREAT day out I thought!!! Now....we just need to get Lloyd's pics posted. 8)
A happy customer
