Vancouver Motorcycle Show at Tradex in Abbotsford.

Vancouver Christmas Toy Run (poster from 2006)

VANCOUVER MOTORCYCLE TOY RUN - OCTOBER ?th
Event: 30th Annual Vancouver Motorcycle Toy Run
Date: Sunday, October ?, 2007
Time: Leaves Coquitlam Centre Mall parking lot at 10:00 am

The entry fee is a new child's toy wrapped in plastic or a monetary donation.
The toy run will leave Coquitlam Centre at 10:00 am and proceed to the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) grounds in full parade style.
The Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau kindly requests more sport and educational toys. They also ask that no there would be no stuffed toys.
There will be commemorative pins and door prizes. Vendor space is available for those who are interested.

The Zeller's at Coquitlam Centre is usually open at 8:00 AM on the morning of the run for last minute shopping and their restaurant will be open as well in case anyone needs a bite to eat or a hot coffee.

BeeCeeBeemers Club Members:

All those who can help out blocking the small intersections so the Toy Run doesn't get a huge police bill, should meet for breakfast about 8am ish at the Coquitlam Grill, 2635 Barnett, our traditional
meeting place, about a kilometer west of the mall. North side of Barnett in the strip mall near Timmys.

We have to set out before the main ride leaves at 10am sharp, hence the early breakie. We traditionally get about two dozen volunteers, but will need more this year as many of our members are out of town as it is a long weekend. Pray for sun as the forecast right now is rather grim OUR SECTION OF HASTINGS IS INVERMERE TO SPRINGER, OTHER CLUBS HAVE OTHER AREAS, THE LAST FEW RIDERS SHOULD JUST HEAD WEST AND FILL ANY HOLES LEFT AS BBY CITY ALSO MANS SOME INTERSECTIONS
