GYLO 10: Get Your 'Lotus' Out - Sunday, 9/20/15 (All types of Sevens welcome!)

[rcollum]

Our 10th-ever Get Your Lotus Out event is approaching. As of this writing, we are less than 3 weeks away - time to start RSVPs.

We have moved venues - we will hold this GYLO at Katie's Coffee (760 Walker Rd in Great Falls, VA), on the lower parking lot. This is on a Sunday, so we should not have to worry about crowding.

 

The event will run from 9:00AM - 11:00AM. Please RSVP if you will be coming. As we have done at GYLOs past, we will have a popular vote for 'favorite Lotus', and will have a drawing for door prizes.

 

After GYLO, we have a bonus - Jenn and Tim Glahn will have a picnic at their house in Burke. We will caravan down there after the GYLO. The picnic will start around Noon. If you'd like to go, great - please let me know how many people you will have in your party. The Glahns will provide burgers and hot dogs, and water and soft drinks. We ask attendees to bring a side dish or dessert.

 

If you have not been to a GYLO before, you're in for a treat - lots of interesting cars and car people, and a party atmosphere. This will be our first-ever NoVA Lotus picnic, so come be part of it! (For those in doubt, this is a social event; if your Lotus is laid up or just not available, come on out anyway - we will have separate parking for non-Lotus, and a liberal policy of what is a 'Lotus'.)

 

Thanks,

 

NoVA Lotus

We have had as many as 3 Sevens at this event at a time, over the years. I'm hoping that (1) my car makes it and (2) we have some more Sevens in attendance! Since this is "my" event, we will be welcoming all sorts of Sevens.

 

In addition to this 'Get Your Lotus Out' event, running from 9:00AM to 11:00AM in Great Falls, VA, participants are also invited to a picnic at the Glahns' house in Burke, VA, starting at Noon. Burgers and hot dogs will be provided. We ask anyone who comes to bring a dessert or side dish.

 

Please RSVP to me, robert(underscore)collum(at)hotmail(dot)com.

 

I hope to see you there!

We tied our record by having 3 Sevens at our 10th Get Your Lotus Out event on Sunday. Many thanks to Michael D. and Norm B. They joined me in my Seven, by being the first three vehicles to show up at the Katie's parking lot for the event. It was a FANTASTIC weather day! We had a special visit by LotusMan1951 in his Fisher Fury, as well.

 

In addition to the Sevens, we had two Elans (one a FHC), several Esprits, a Europa TC, and many Elises, Exiges, and Evoras - 22 cars in all.

 

 

I hope everybody had a good time - I know I did. We will do this again in the spring.

For some reason, I never posted pictures here of our event back in September... Norm B and Michael D drove Sevens, and joined mine at the event. That's Kevin in the Fisher Fury.

We will hold GYLO 11 this coming spring.
