hat a month!
August was a very busy month with a gimmick rally, two 25 th anniversary picnics, and a lunch & drive. September looks just as busy with a burger night, the Gold River charity drive, New Member Social and a TSD rally. A big thanks to all the volunteers, who make these events possible. Speaking of volunteers, we are actively looking for new members for our Executive team. A few members have stepped up but we still could use more help. Let us know if you would like to be a part of a fun group of members making the Club a continued success. The last and biggest of our 25th anniversary events, the Grand Gala, is planned for Saturday, October 23rd in Victoria at the Hotel Grand Pacific. Registration is now open on MSR and information is posted on the VIR website. This will be a great opportunity to get together, celebrate and raise money for the two charities, Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock and the Ucluelet Volunteer Fire Brigade. The 25 Roads challenge ends on September 30th, so you still have time to get out there, tour the island and visit the many great communities that are included in the drives. Yours truly is only five roads away from completing all 25 and with the drives already scheduled, the finish is in sight! Finally, as summer winds down, unfortunately our COVID-19 cases on the Island are increasing. Please be safe and if you haven’t already, I encourage you to get vaccinated so we can continue to get together.

s VIR has a fair number of new members recently (welcome!), I thought I would revisit our use of MotorsportReg.com. It is a website hosting all our event registrations and provides administrative support in providing reports, credit card processing etc for us. As we are a volunteer club, it has allowed us to manage our events with a limited number of people. So if you are not enrolled in MSR, please do so (for free) at motorsportreg.com. Our list of events is shown at our private VIR event list. You can also see our future events with their own MSR links in the ’Around the bend’ section on page 58 in this issue. Don’t miss the Grand Gala and New Member Social.
