5 39th ANNUAL TULIP RALLYE April 27, 2019 Begins and ends at Cascade Mall, South Burlington The Tulip Rallye is a gimmick type rallye open to all makes of cars. The route is entirely on public, paved roads, no off-roading. The event is suitable for all vehicles and driver skill levels. It is a laid back and casual "gimmick rallye" where the challenge is to spot and record the answers to questions based on signs and objects found along the way while following turn-by-turn route driving instructions, devilishly laid out by the Rallyemaster, whose job it is to make you laugh as you attempt to find the answers to the rather silly questions, riddles, and trivia. Also note that we don't use the traditional "tulip" symbols in the route instructions. Details and a registration form can be found at BRITSBEST CLASSIC 2019 June 14-16, 2019 Radium Hot Springs The car show will be held at Legends Field on the Saturday with cars arranged in picnic circles, and the best-in-show determined by 'vote with your donation tickets'. We raised over $1000 for local youth programmes at Edgewater Elementary School in this way in 2018, and they will once again be the beneficiaries in The Saturday car show is supported by informal motel parking lot "tire kickers", a Friday evening social gathering, Saturday evening wind up meal, informal pie runs and another Morris Calvert Memorial Rally (poker run). Our host hotel properties will have blocked rooms for our guests. Reservations will only be accepted once your entry for the event is confirmed, so please do not contact the hotels until you have a confirmation number to give them. While principally attended by British sports cars, we welcome British vehicles of all types. MGs and Triumphs are common to the show, but we have seen Mini, Healey, Riley, Rover, Land Rover, Range Rover, Rolls Royce, Jaguar, Daimler, TVR, Lotus, Caterham and Jensen Healey. There's a lot of notable 60ths this year, but we're glad to have any owners celebrate their car's anniversary with us! For info and online registration form:
