For those of us who did not make it to SUNI this year come join us at the 3rd annual British car show in Columbia, SC on Sept. 12th, 2009.

Last year we had 8 Sunbeams at the show and I am sure we can double that number this year. We will be holding a SOS (Sunbeam Owners of the South) event in conjunction with the car show this year. A few Sunbeam drives, a picnic, swap meet, Sunbeam talk at the hospitality suite, and other events too. Stay tuned! Eric

Tentative agenda:

September 11th, 2009
Meet at the Hampton Inn - Vista location at 3:00pm
At 3:30 PM Leave the Hampton Inn in a Sunbeam convoy to Lake Murray drive across the Saluda Shoals dam (Lake Murray dam) Then into the park area around 4:00pm.
At 4:00pm we will have a professional photo shoot with the lake in the background. To have you and your car in the photo shoot is $10.00 per car.
At 4:30 PM we leave the photo area and go 500 feet to the cookout shelter.
From 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM we will have our cookout, parts swap and meeting on the planning of Invasion 2010.
At 6:00 PM we will convoy about 8 miles to a local deli for our Ice Cream dessert.
At 7:00 PM we will drive back to the Hampton Inn - Vista for the hospitality party that runs till 10:00 PM

On September 12th, 2009
The group will enjoy the all British car show - Carolina British Classics III at Weston Lake till 4:00 PM.
Registration for the show starts at 8:30 AM through 12:00 noon.
At 4:30 PM we will convoy to a BBQ restaurant in Elgin, SC for dinner together. This will be about a 20 mile convoy together.
At 6:30 PM we will leave to go to Eric Gibeaut's house to tour his collection of Sunbeams, Minis and other British memorabilia. This is only about 2 miles from the BBQ restaurant.
After dinner we will convoy back to the Hampton Inn and enjoy some free time in the Vista where the party is always going on.

On September 13th, 2009
We have the hospitality room reserved for our group if we want to use it for something on Sunday morning - this is yet to be determined. We could use it as our breakfast area.

Remember on the 12th at the car show there will be a class for Alpines and a class for Tigers. Heck we may have one for Harrington's and one for Red Tigers! This show will have bag pipes playing, the local Oldies Radio station will be playing British music throughout the day and a silent auction will be held to raise money for charities. Food vendors, a wood steering wheel vendor, a wooden dash vendor, and several other cool car vendors. If you register early you will receive a free t-shirt. All cars in the show will receive a free goody cooler full of stuff. With all of this said, the most important thing is that we are going to raise money for two charities, a camp for kids with cancer called Kamp Kemo and the Juvenile Diabetes Association all while we enjoy the fellowship of other Sunbeam enthusiasts!

We hope to see you at this weekend of fun!

It was a grrrreat Sunbeam weekend! 18 Sunbeams made it to the show with a few other owners minus their cars. The weather was perfect and the show's location along the lake and in the shade was appreciated by all.
Plans are being made for the Sunbeam Invasion near Asheville, NC next year from April 30-May 2 2010 so stay tuned! Eric

Thanks for posting the pictures. Great looking event. Loved seeing the Triumph Herald. Owned a HT in that color as a teenager.
