SWAP MEET COMBO WEEKEND – June 8-9, 2019

Less than 2 hours from Buffalo and 3 1/2 hours from Detroit

In a fortunate stroke of scheduling, the Headwater British Car Club has scheduled their annual All British Antique and Classic Car Show the same weekend as our annual Swap Meet, on the day before. The two event sites are only 20 minutes apart. A great opportunity for group members to get together for a longer period of time, especially those further away, making the event closer to a mini United.

Arrangements have been made with the local Best Western Hotel for special discounted rates. Apparently the Best Western has a great parking lot in the back which is well protected and secure.

The Best Western is in Georgetown and only 15 minutes from Grant’s place. Rates have been discounted 15%, so Friday June 7th and Sat. June 8 is $161.99 plus tax and Sunday is $143.99 plus tax. This includes breakfast.

Book now under "British Car Event:" when calling (905)877-6986 or 1-800-563-2476. There are only a limited amount of rooms available at this rate as there are a few weddings occurring there the same weekend so don’t delay.

NOTE: If you agree to become a Best Western member by signing at reservation time, you get the 3rd night free. In other words, you could get three nights for $324.00 plus tax, which is a real bargain.

This is the Largest and Most Important Rootes Car Event in Eastern Canada!

Join an informal chat with our special guest:

Peter Badenoch: Rootes employee from 1956 to 1962, in Coventry, England, and from 1962 through 1969, with Rootes Canada. Peter has written the 6 part series on Rootes Canada, featured in the Canadian Rootes Report, based on his inside knowledge of the workings of the company.

Grant and Jean Leonard have once again volunteered to host the annual SWAP meet for the "Rootes" group. A great opportunity to drive your car through the rolling hills of Halton Hills. Bring your lawn chairs and sit under the trees on the Leonard’s country estate, and share stories with new and old friends, as well as buy/sell/trade car parts.
