datsunfish Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Sat September 19, 2009 10:00am to 4:00pm or later Canterbury Care Center 1547 Sheridan Rd. Bremerton Wa. Datsun and all classic Japanese cars welcome - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My wife works for a non profit division of a retirement community in Bremerton. She runs a senior citizen care facility in the basement of a rather large old church building. It is a very nice place thanks to all of her hard work. There is a ton of parking space there and she said it would be cool to have a car gathering sort of gig. I think it would be cool for an end of the summer thing to have a Ratsun BBQ there. Whos down?

tdaaj Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 i'd like to come too, just depends when it is. Quote Link to comment
datsunfish Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 We were thinking sometime in september. Saturday or sunday is a toss up. depends on what works for you all. I have a nice bbq/smoker and would be down to supply some meat and do some cooking. There really is a lot of parking and its not a private residence so it will be a semi-open to the public gathering. Datsun/Ratsun vintage import theme but drive by in whatever you got. Quote Link to comment

And i would enjoy that drive, IF the seat in the 620 supported my back better. My seat is one of the things on my list to do.:D Years ago i drove my old 74 620 to Aberdeen for the afternoon, That turned into a really long story/weekend. Fun drive though. That is a long drive though for a BBQ.:D Quote Link to comment
datsunfish Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 So,at this point it looks like this will not be just an average humdrum bbq. Upon talking with my wife,and her confering with her boss, we are thinking of making it an event for the center. There are full facilities available and we will most likely be doing a brunch from 10-noon and a bbq 2-4. So it wont be necessary to bring anything but we will be asking for small donations for food. There is a 4 star chef for the brunch and I will most likely be doing the bbq unless they gather up someone else. This will be a Datsun related event but welcome to all forms of classic imports and open to the public. I will share all info as it gets put together but it is mostly certain that it will be on saturday september 19th rain or shine. Please feel free to share any suggestions. I think this will be a great event for us datto/classic import fans and a great way to bring some attention to this much needed center. Quote Link to comment
OpelWagenGT Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 where exactly is the place? All I need is the address so I can google maps it! Hope fully the 1200 will be registered by then it's a ways away so there is hope! Quote Link to comment
OpelWagenGT Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 So... Can we get an update? Quote Link to comment

Logical1 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'm down to come, would be fun as I havent been out to bremerton in a while. looking forward to meeting some of you and check out some other Datsuns! Sept 19 works great for me :) Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 So... Can we get an update? Two SoBes are the entry fee :lol: Quote Link to comment
datsunfish Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 The place is on Sheridan off of wheaton way over the warren Ave bridge. No real updates to speak of but so far its a go and it should be pretty cool. There is a lower larger parking lot we will use for the day. it will be sectioned off for Datsun only parking and all other classic imports will have the rest. The upper parking lot will be for american cars or anything newer than..I dunno?83? What sounds good? 80? And yes 2 sobes for entry fee:fu:Just kidding. No entry fee as it is sponsored by a non profit organization but donations will be accepted and all will go to support the center. Official updates will be early next week... Quote Link to comment
OpelWagenGT Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Nice! I'm getting tabs for my car tomorrow so I will be there :cool: Quote Link to comment
