Rio Grande Regional Rendezvous Update
September 9-11, 2016
Farmington, NM

FRIDAY, September 9th:
This year’s Rendezvous will begin and end in Albuquerque. For those living outside Albuquerque, you can arrive in Albuquerque a day or two before and join the convoy north to Farmington; if you need help getting reservations or the great hotel deal you are looking for in Albuquerque, please contact Steve 505-306-9880 for assistance. After we arrive at the Courtyard Hotel in Farmington we’ll set-up for Registration and the Ice Breaker.

SATURDAY, September 10th:
Saturday morning is a British Car Show. Popular Choice and Judged categories are offered at the Show. Lunch is available at the British Car Show location.
At the conclusion of the British Car show we’ll begin the Funkhana . For those of you who have never participated in a Funkhana it is a low speed event in which you, your navigator and, of course your LBC, negotiate a fixed course for fun and time. Once you complete the Funkhana you are awarded your ticket to the Rally. Expect the Rally to be fun, historic, educational and of course, scenic.

After you complete the Rally, dinner is on your own at any one of Farmington’s numerous eateries. Upon completion of dinner, join us back at the Courtyard Hotel as the bar, the lobby and the patio are yours to enjoy the remainder of the evening. Rendezvous committee members will set-up a picture show for you to view and/or critique!

SUNDAY, September 11th:
Sunday morning features a catered breakfast buffet and an awards ceremony at the Courtyard Hotel. All awards earned throughout the Rendezvous are presented at the breakfast. As in previous years, the awards are designed and created by Artist and long-time BAOA Member Ace Fry. For those of you with the experience of previous Rendezvous this morning event is much like the evening banquets we’ve enjoyed in the past.

Upon Conclusion of the awards Breakfast , we’ll again assemble the British Cars for a travel adventure to end the Rendezvous in Albuquqerque.

Rating: 9/10
I opened this page, and saw your "Rio Grande Valley Regional Rendezvous".I was born, in the "Lower" Rio Grande Valley, in Edinburg, Texas, 70 miles from the Gulf Mexico.Now, I live near the cool Pacific Ocean, in Oxnard, CA. The outside temperature is 71 Deg F.My MGB is a 1977, that I have owned since 1983. I have rolled up 79,000 miles.I would be glad to come; but, I am approaching 77 years of age, and my doctor won't let me drive the MGB anymore. I have two grandsons, who will be the next owners.Roger N. Tanner, Professional Engineer, Retired
