Pacific Northwest Regional Meet,
July 27-29, 2023, Victoria, BC Canada
How
to book your room at the Coast Victoria Hotel and Marina.
A dedicated website
is now available for our
meet attendees to book their hotel rooms online. Reservations can be made any
time
now at this web address: https://book.passkey.com/e/50398411
You can also call and reserve and you MUST mention
WPC Car Meet in July for the special rate. Call 1-800-716-6199
to get the room rate of $309.00 Canadian plus
tax per night.
The Coast Hotel is at 146 Kingston St, Victoria, and is within 5 minutes from where the COHO
Ferry docks in the
harbour. To all of you who are
planning on attending, please book your room as soon as possible. We currently
have 20 rooms set aside, but we can and will block
off more as needed as long as we don’t leave it too late. We
anticipate we will probably need another 15 to 20 rooms
but it would be very helpful, if you are planning to join us,
please book early so we can get plan ahead to add
rooms if needed. AND to our US visitors, please remember,
your card will be charged in Canadian funds of $309.00
but will be converted to US Funds and will be reflected on
your credit card statement. At the current exchange
rate it works out to around $220.00 USD, but of course there is
no guarantee as to what the rates will be in July
but we don’t anticipate a major change.
Here are the Tentative Events:
Thursday July 27th – Arrival at the Coast Hotel through the day.
Enjoy some harbour area sightseeing for the
afternoon. There is a whole lot to see in the area,
including the Legislative Buildings, the Inner Harbour,
Fisherman’s Wharf and
more, all within walking distance from the hotel. We
will Leave the host hotel at 5:00 PM
for a car tour to the Torque Masters Clubhouse in Sidney. Arriving at approx
6:15 for food, tour of the Clubhouse and vehicles on site. We will be
having a BBQ of hot dogs & hamburgers, (a nominal price will be charged), followed
by the ICE CREAM !!!! at
no charge !
Friday July 28th Stroll among giants along the elevated Malahat Skywalk through a west coast forest of Arbutus
and Douglas Firs. Then ascend the striking 10-story
spiral tower to take in the stunning 360-degree view of islands,
fjords, forests and mountains. NOTE: This is a very
easy ascent up a gradual spiral walkway. After we leave
the Skywalk we will proceed to our lunch
destination, the Cobblestone Pub, several miles further north. We will
order off the menu, and once lunch is done we will
proceed on our second tour of the day, back down the Malahat
highway and over to the Esquimalt Lagoon on Ocean Boulevard, which has ocean on both
sides of the roadway.
We will stop for a photo opportunity.
Saturday July 29th. Our Car Show will be at Windsor Park in Oak Bay from 10:00 AM until approx. 12:15 PM.
There will be a bag lunch for all who have
registered. We will leave at 1:00 PM at the latest for our afternoon tour
out to Central Saanich to a fantastic collection of
cars, never before seen by any of our members. There could
possibly be an alternative tour to Craigdarroch Castle if anyone is interested and if there is someone to lead the
tour. There is not enough time to fit in both tours,
so we do recommend the car collection as the go-to tour.
The
Saturday Evening Banquet will be
held at the Oaks Restaurant on Oak Bay Avenue with
Happy Hour at 5:30 PM
and dinner at 6:30 PM. Entertainment will be provided after dinner.
There is no set price as we will be ordering off the menu,
which is very reasonably priced with many choices.
The restaurant will be closed to the public that evening. We will
see you all in Victoria, July 27-29th
