Hi folks, I'm very excited now that we have started planning for GTALX 2016. As mentioned in the other registration thread, the event will be held at Heart Lake Conservation Area again, on Saturday May 28, 2016.

This thread will serve to provide information on prize donations and raffle rules, exhibitors, hotel discounts and any other information not directly related to registration.
You can indicate if you can attend the event here - http://www.lxforums.com/board/showthread.php/378582-Gtalx-2016

We will update this thread as required and as progress is made.

We want to thank in advance, all attendees and families who will be making the time to attend - we won't dissapoint you. This year, there should be more to keep the kids entertained as well since we want this to be a family oriented event. Thanks in advance to our prize donators and exhibitors and our food service vendors. You are important part of our community and the event. Now for what is in place to date.

All raffle proceeds this year will be donated to Peel Children's Aid Society and a representative of Peel CAS will be on site the day of the event to receive the donation.

So we're going to have something pretty cool this year at the event. Davies Harley-Davidson is going to have a working Harley on a platform with the front wheel secured but the back wheel on rollers. You'll be able to "ride" the bike and go through the gears! If you've never ridden a bike or want to know what it feels like to ride a Harley, this will be your chance!!

Hi folks, the Authentic Performance/ GTALX Spring Thaw 2016 participant form and Sponsor section on the website have been updated to include all raffle prize contributors. Additionally, the Photos section of the website has another slideshow showing more pics from last year's day at Heart Lake Conservation Area. Please bookmark the www.gtalx.ca website and check the site periodically as we will eventually be posting raffle ticket prices and rules along with rain date information. We keep saying this each year but, this year should truly be the BEST GTALX event to date!!

Pretty much everything in place - just waiting for some prize information from a few exhibitors / supporters and then the raffle rules will be posted - 73 days to go!!

T-shirt sales will be posted soon and this year, as part of a shirt purchase, we'll have the option to help the 4 year old son of an LXF member fight his battle with cancer. It is my wish that we'll be able to donate an amount large or small, and as a GTALX group, to a very worthwhile cause - http://www.lxforums.com/board/showt...f-our-own-1FST4DR?highlight=if+there+was+ever - while the GoFund me goal has been reached, it will still be a long road to recovery so every little bit over the goal offers nothing but piece of mind for Tommy and family. This forum has provided me with an incredible amount of knowledge and a lot of new friends. I don't mind giving a little back and I hope you'll feel the same way.

The 2016 GTALX raffle rules, draw schedule and prize listing has been posted to www.gtalx.ca event site!
This year is going to be the biggest event to date and we hope that you can make it.

Remember to bookmark and check the site on May 13th to confirm event is proceeding as scheduled (as opposed to using rain date)!!

Remember that hotel discounts have been arranged if you want to come in a day early.
Accommodation details are on the Sponsors tab at www.gtalx.ca.

Rules are pretty much as they were last year.

Tickets will be:
$5 for 3
$10 for 10
$20 for an arm's length.

Rules for the prize draws are as follows:

- Winner has to be present for all draws

- Prizes must be accepted as awarded - no cash substitution
- Ticket sales will start at 10am and end at 1:55pm.
- Tickets will have 2 parts - one part will be kept by purchaser and one part will be placed in the common container from which the winning tickets will be pulled.
- Each ticket is only good for one prize and will be surrendered at time of prize claim
- If prize is not immediately claimed when the ticket is drawn, draws will continue until the last raffle item has been drawn and awarded. At that time, a second call will go out for the original winner of the yet to be claimed prize and if nobody steps up to claim the prize, a second draw for that same prize will occur immediately.
- Draws will continue until all prizes have been awarded.
- Prizes will either be in the form of a certificate which the winner will reference when they contact the vendor (winner's contact details will be recorded and provided to prize donators) or they will be a physical deliverable to be given to the winner at time of draw.

- Last minute prize additions, substitutions or changes may occur as required.

BREAKING NEWS - debit and credit cards will be accepted on site for raffle ticket sales though a terminal that Peel Children's Aid Society will provide and operate.
Keep in mind though that sometimes, even the best laid plans....you know the rest. Bring cash backup just in case. :)

GTALX is going hi-tech!!

Many thanks to first time GTALX supporter John Ng of AUTO-Links (http://www.auto-links.ca/) - John will be donating 5 x $50 gift certificates towards tint work or paint protection. LXF member 6Shooter can vouch for the quality of tint work they do - they've tinted his last 3 cars!

Holy crap - 30 days to go!!
I'm happy to announce that Heidi @ Billet Technology has added a couple of extra donations (totaling US$75) over and above the US$500 - an enormous thanks to Heidi!
Maybe there will be a prize for first non-event staff or exhibitor vehicle on site? :)

Happy to announce that Mothers Polishes-Waxes-Cleaners, out of Huntington Beach, California, is sending us a raffle donation in the form of a car wash bucket with 9 Mothers products inside!

Sad to announce that Comfort Inn has had a change of heart with their free night donation for next year's event and will not be offering such.
