OVTC Darts Tournament - 15 February
Once again, the club hosted the annual Fun Darts tournament, open to British car owners and enthusiasts across eastern Ontario. Eight teams competed, including MG, Jaguar, Sunbeam, and TVR owners. Martin Burtt and Don Barr, both OVTC members forming the duo of "Brit Boyz" handily won all their games. They had stiff competition from "The Dart Side", made up of OVTC member Amy Gunter and her son Max, who also won all their games up to the exciting finale.
A big thanks to the Royal Canadian Legion Barrhaven Branch for allowing us to use their venue.

Kastner Cup Races - 19-21 June
This year the races are being held as part of the VARAC race weekend at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. There will be the Kastner Cup race for Triumph powered cars and an MG versus Triumph Challenge race. Ticket and camping information are available on the CTMP website. See poster for more information. Some members are already planning to attend, so why not join the party.
Scavenger Hunts - New this Summer
Provisional dates for our Scavenger Hunts are: 9 May; 6 June; 4 July; 15 August; 5 September; and 3 October. All dates are weather dependent. Open to all British car owners. The premise is pretty simple: starting from a common point (different every time), participating cars drive to a series of spots, where they must complete a "challenge", answer a quiz, or undertake a task like "take a picture of a thing" before getting the clue to the next spot. It's not about winning, but rather about having a good time.
OVTC Tool Library
Gary Kristjansson has volunteered to take the lead on this project. Gary would like to hear from all club members about their tool needs, and the tool inventories they might be willing to share with other OVTC members. Is there a specific tool that you might need on an occasional basis that is a bit too expensive to purchase, or do you have some tools you would be willing to lend to other club members? If you have ideas about how this service to members could be set up and managed, Gary would love to hear from you. Please contact Gary at [email protected].
