It's time for the GGLC to invite you to attend the...

2008 West Coast Lotus Meet

The 2008 West Coast Lotus Meet (WCLM) will be held October 2-5, 2008
in Canyonville, Oregon. The Golden Gate Lotus Club will host the 3-
day event with assistance from other Lotus clubs on the west coast.

The WCLM will be a Lotus Celebration! Since the introduction of the
Elise in 2004 to North America, there has been a renewal of the
excitement for Lotus. The Elise was joined by the Exige and most
recently the Lotus Two-Eleven and Exige S240. The WCLM is set-up to
be the ultimate Lotus experience for the loyal Lotus enthusiast.

The fun begins with an Opening Reception at the WCLM hotel, Seven
Feathers Casino Resort Hotel in Canyonville, Oregon on Thursday
October 2nd.

Also on Thursday, October 2nd will be an optional Solo I style time
trials on a closed track at the Jackson County Sports Park in White
City, Oregon about an hour's drive from Canyonville. The tight twisty
course will challenge drivers to find the quickest way around.

On Friday, October 3rd WCLM entrants will an opportunity to explore
the area. Beginning at the Seven Feathers Resort the WCLM day will
kicks off with a private tour of the CD Lumber Company, the largest
producer of cedar lumber products in the U.S. You'll get a chance to
see this huge saw mill in action!

After the CD Lumber saw mill tour you'll have a choice of touring to
Crater Lake or to the incredible Oregon Coast or visit some of award
winning Oregon wineries.

Friday ends with an amazing and exclusive riverside Bar-B-Que of ribs
and chicken on a private ranch. If you like fly fishing this spot is
a piece of heaven with Steelhead and Salmon filling the South Umpqua
River.

Saturday, October 4th is another busy day for the 2008 WCLM. The day
opens with the WCLM Autocross. This is an opportunity for every WCLM
entrant to enjoy their Lotus near its limits. The WCLM Autocross will
run all day. Those who tire of autocross can elect to do one of the
tours.

Saturday evening will open with the WCLM cocktail hour followed by
the WCLM Banquet at the Seven Feathers Resort. After the WCLM banquet
you can see the Cabaret show (the WCLM will reserve an entire show
just for our delight!) or entertain yourself by trying your luck at
one of the slots, card tables, craps or poker games.

The 2008 WCLM will conclude on Sunday October 5th with the WCLM
Concours and Awards Picnic. The WCLM Concours will be set among tall
pines and fir trees. And after the WCLM awards are announced you'll
sadly have to say good-bye to all your WCLM friends, but the memories
and stories will last a lifetime.

Resort and Hotel. Special rates have been negotiated for WCLM
