BCIR’s AGM was sold out last night at Two Eagles Golf Course in West Kelowna. This year, the outdoor temperature was much warmer and we welcomed the new heaters. Great food and great people.
Congratulations to the winner of the Area 27 Track Day plus $500. service g/c generously donated by August Luxury Motorcars. Thank you to the members that travelled from Kimberley, Kamloops and Merritt. There were also a few members that stepped up into new positions on the BCIR board. We are still needing a president to have a successful season next year.
Six cars from Kelowna drove to Kamloops for their Cars and Coffee last Sunday. It was quite smoky with limited visibility due to all the surrounding wildfires. The drive afterward had to be changed to Pinantan and Paul Lake as the scheduled drive was in the fire zone.
For lunch, everyone enjoyed a great meal at Moxie’s Restaurant. On the drive back on Hwy 5a, the smoke from the fire filled the sky and turned it into nighttime.

BCIR had a big turnout for the New Member and Social event last night at Mid-Town Station in Kelowna! A beautiful night to chat with other members and enjoy some fabulous appies.Thank you to everyone that attended.
Next event is Kamloops Cars and Coffee followed by a drive on Sunday August 15, starting at Riverside Park at 10 am. Hope to see you there!
Only twelve Porsches showed up to the Kelowna Cars and Coffee due to the inclement weather but we never got wet. Earlier, to everyone’s relief, we welcomed the long awaited rain to help combat the forest fires all around us.
Last weekend Canada West, BC Interior Region and Vancouver Island Region all participated in a terrific event up at Sun Peaks Resort, outside of Kamloops!
40 cars participated in this sold out event. There were banquets, a show and shine, People’s Choice and Best of Show, a challenging tech quiz and a Hawaiian theme night. Did we mention the fabulous prizes…? There was also time to relax by the pool or take the chair lift up to the top of the mountain and hike among the colourful wildflowers.
The weekend drives and windup gala banquet were unfortunately cancelled due to a nearby forest fire. A big thank you to all of the organizers, volunteers and sponsors!! Looking forward to next year… 😎
