Important Message to ALL Participants of 2004 Fall Tour
*******************************************************************************
C7 Performance has worked hard to put this year's annual falltour together. In our efforts to co-ordinate the many stakeholders involved, we would like to share an important message to all participants interested in joining the tour this year.
As many of you are aware the tour ends at the Hockley General Store. This store serves the local village of Hockley for groceries, and other basic goods & services. With the anticipation of the tour arriving in 2003 and almost 350 drivers & passengers looking for food, beverages, and washroom facilities, the store management did their best to manage our needs. They prepared over 200 gourmet-style sandwiches, setup multiple food-stations & cash registers, and arranged for the installation of portable washroom facilities onsite. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, many sandwiches went to waste, and the store management suffered a financial loss, and this is notwithstanding the disruption and displacement of their regular local & tourist customer/clientelle that may have stopped elsewhere that day due to our presence. While questions will be raised regarding the "cost" of the goods offered last year, I'm hopeful that many of you will remember and realize that last year's tour was organized and run with no expectation of cost-recovery from those actually participating in the tour.
Foods & beverages will be offered this year at reduced prices. This year sandwiches, pizza slices, and beverages will be on sale in limited quantities, and participants are welcome to buy additional goods from the store's regular inventory of items. Please feel free to bring along your own snacks, and remember Alcohol consumption IS NOT permitted. Ontario Provincial Police will be present and a Zero Tolerance policy will be in effect. Please remind your groups to bring cash for your purchases as credit card & debit facilties will not be availalbe.
For 2004, our efforts to keep this event free of commercial interests, and the usual "show" type atmosphere remain a high priority. While the tour presents many opportunities to invite vendors from the sport-compact community, we really feel the heart & soul of this interclub fall tour lies in it's simplicity. Get together, go for a drive in the country, chill, meet & greet. We trust that our vision of this great day is one that we share with many of you. This year C7 Performance has agreed with Hockely Store Management to charge a $1 cost-recovery fee. This fee is strictly to help cover the managements cost of servicing our group on October 3, 2004. The additional staff, food, time, as well as provision of porta-potty's and displacement of their regular client base are all factors that store management considered when agreeing to host this year's event. We reached an agreement with store management to introduce this $1 cost recovery fee to assist in managing the needs of all stakeholders involved that day.
This fee, while a nominal amount, will be collected by Hockley Store staff. C7 Performance will have no benefit or portion of this fee. This fee will be collected one car at a time ($1 fee per vehicle) , as each vehicle enters onto the private field area owned by the store mangement. Please prepare by bringing exact change (a looney preferably).
Please relay this important message to your group, and invite them to conact us directly if they should have any concerns or questions. We are looking forward to a great tour through the winding roads of Caledon, and more importantly a relaxed afternoon once we park and get a chance to chill, meet & greet.
See you all 9am Sunday October 3, at the Bramalea Go Station (our start point) and don't be late!! All groups should be present onsite, as it will take at least an hour to process everyone's registration and group departures.
