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.

Folks, I am extremely excited to announce that local LXF supporting vendor Authentic Performance will be the primary sponsor for GTALX 2016 event through their generous offer to take care of the site rental costs for the 2016 event! Those in the GTA know that Glen and Adam are part of a small group of well respected vendors who support GTA area owners of LX platform vehicles (and other brands), who like to go fast! This is a huge relief for me as I don't have to pay out of my own pocket for the site, but more importantly, through the additional generosity of prize donators and the raffle, we will be able to donate to Peel Children's Aid Society, a local and very worthwhile cause. A representative of Peel CAS will be on hand to receive the donation.

Stay tuned folks - I think this year's meet is going to have more to look at and admire than any other previous year!
For those coming from out of town, I hope to have hotel details and discounts made available shortly.
