If you'd like to identify that you are going on the BMWONS Facebook Event click here: 40th Anniv. Event - Facebook
(the Facebook page is not a Registration for the room or meal, just letting us know you'll be going)

If you have questions regarding the BMW Owners of Nova Scotia Event itself, please contact me or Glen Greencorn directly.

Additional details to follow shortly.

I forgot to provide details for anyone who doesn't wish to stay at the Conference Centre (camping, staying nearby, etc.), but can join us for the "Farm Dinner Buffet".

Use the same registration link (first post) and choose just "Dinner Buffet Only - No Overnight Stay". 

The price for $39 + HST (that includes all gratuities). That is very reasonable. Especially when you consider that it is for the entire meal including an 8oz Striploin Steak (aka New York Strip), chicken, all the sides, desserts and drinks mentioned above.

Don't miss out on the Door Prizes

Just to get you interested, I have confirmed giveaways for our 40th Anniversary Event, who couldn't use a new set of tires? or perhaps a new pair of boots?

As a teaser, we have secured:

• One pair of boots (men's or women's) from TCX. This is the Italian boot maker who not only has a great line of boots that they sell under their own name but who also make boots for BMW Motorrad and Ducati!
  
• One set of tires from Dunlop. That includes their new award-winning sport-touring tire the Sportmax Roadsmart III, etc. Ask Sandy MacLeod how he likes his.          Spoiler alert - they're coming out with new 50/50 and 60/40 Dual-sport tires later this year.
  

I expect to get confirmation of more door prizes soon, so register now and stay tuned!!!

You have to be a paid member of BMWONS to qualify for the door prizes so here is the link to renew your membership if you haven't already - BMWONS Membership 2018

Don't forget, if you have used our new membership software previously for membership, then please log-in using your existing account and renew your membership. If you haven't used this software before, you need to set-up a free account when renewing or taking out a membership. If you have trouble with it, please contact me and I'll walk you through it. If you really, really don't want to use the online membership process (much easier for us if you do), than contact our Treasurer (Brian Graves) at bmwonstreasurer@gmail.com.

Here are photos from this past weekend's 40th Anniversary Event. Click here to go to the photo album:
BMWONS 40th Anniversary Event Photos



Currently, we have photos from Bill Hayter making up the album and are awaiting a large batch from Greg MacKinnon. Greg shots in RAW format and it takes some time to convert over to JPG, what with having a day job and all. ;-)
If anyone else has photos from the event, please let me know and I'll arrange to get them added to the album.

I think everyone had an enjoyable time. It was great to see old friends and new.

The major Door-prizes were awarded as follows:
Grand Prize - Dunlop Tires - Darrell Theriault
Second Prize - TCX Motorcycle Boots - Amedee Aucoin
Third Prize - Nelson Riggs Tank Bag (courtesy Continental Tires) - Ed Valiant
Fourth Prize - Nelson Riggs Tank Bag (courtesy Continental Tires) - Glen Greencorn
Fifth Prize - Nelson Riggs Tank Bag (courtesy Continental Tires) - Chuck Sweet (Chuck doesn't have a need for another tank bag so we re-drew and Amedee won it)
Sixth Prize - $100 Gift Certificate from Rallye Motoplex - Anne Marie Evans

There were sufficient additional door-prizes provided by Anne Marie Evans (thank you very much Anne Marie) of organic soaps and teas, that we were able to have enough to provide everyone with one of those in an initial drawing before putting everyone's name back into the hat to draw the 6 main door-prizes.

To all, it for sure was great to meet all of you! We both, Cresel and I hope to meet you again and perhaps even joining some of the rides. Thank you for making both of us so welcome within this somewhat special group. Safe ride!
