The 2019 NW Regional MAFCA Meet held in Bellevue, Washington

It was good to see 10 members of our club enjoy this year’s NW Regional Meet in Bellevue. For our participation record those in attendance were Dan & Dianna Adams, Ewald & Betty-Ann Braun, Gary and Bobby-May Callander, Dean & Judith Potter, and Ron & Irene Rigby.

The Bellevue Hilton proved to be an excellent base for the Meet in that all of our functions could be based at the one facility which even provided indoor parking for everyone’s vehicles and for the first time in memory an indoor venue for the Car Games event.

Highlights of the Meet for our members included: Gary and Bobby-May driving their 1928 coupe the entire distance trouble free to and from Bellevue as well as winning the first prize award in the Car Games competition. Ewald and Betty-Ann not only winning several draw prizes but also winning a silver medal in the Restorer’s Class compitition for that lovely little 1931 Victoria of theirs. Dean & Judith being presented th with their 25 year of MAFCA membership pins at the awards banquet. Dan and Dianna Adams once again winning more than their fair share of prizes in the door prizes draw. - - and besides once again representing our club at the NW Regional Business Meeting, Ron’s winning of a complete set of Les Andrews publications.

The Spokane Club plans to host the Region’s 2020 get-together next September which instead of a being a full-fledged meet is expected to focus on tours of their area. In 2021 Boise will play host and they are hoping to  equate that meet to the four they have previously hosted during the course of the last +/- 25 years!
