7th Annual Atlantic Z Car Club Rally at the 2010 Atlantic Nationals in Moncton a Success
I would like to take a moment a congratulate all of you in helping to make this year’s club rally one of the best yet. Starting the cruise up from the valley Friday with members joining the convoy in Sackville, Truro and along the way. Thanks to Hector and Linda for booking a place for us to eat and recharge, atmosphere was relaxing and we all got to talk and get to know one another better. The street dance/show was great and it was the start of a great weekend.
Saturday was a full day and I’d like to thank Ross, Brad, Bob and Jim for kicking it off at the park. The amount of cars that we ended up with was terrific, 33 at the end of the day I believe. I would like to congratulate the award winners again and hope you enjoyed your day. We would like to thank Terry Gibson and Champlain Nissan for hosting a BBQ and picture opportunity which was a wonderful sight to see them all together amongst the flags. The cruise along the river was enjoyed by all and was a pleasure to be driving instead of sitting. To those that went to the dance I hope you all had a good time and I have the feeling it’ll even be better next year.
Sunday, what can you say, I have to take a minute and thank Bob and his crew for always cooking breakfast. We all appreciate this even if it doesn’t get said enough sometimes, and he’ll have two stoves next year. A little rain did come Sunday but that didn’t stop us from having a good turn-out again. Combining our annual event with the Nationals event went smoothly and will be continued from here on end. It was a day to relax and socialize before heading to the awards and I would like to congratulate Rejean Desjardins for winning multiple awards and representing the club as he does.
For pictures of the events check out our gallery of the event here. Also check out the forum posts on this event and join in the conversation here.
In closing I must say that the AZCC is moving forward every year and it’s mainly because of the people that enjoy their cars and helping one another. Stay safe and enjoy the ride until we get together again.
P.S. Sussex Balloon Festival is on September 11 & 12 mark this on your calendar and join us again. Stay tuned for details in the near future.

I would like to welcome standing and new members to Atlantic Canada's Datsun/Nissan Club. We have seen our site grow to over 60,000 hits a month so this tells us we are going in the right direction. First I would like to thank everyone for electing me to represent you this year. I have been a member for 5 years now and have had my 1984 300zx 50th anniversary for that time. With the help of a great executive, Bob Henwood, Jim Brennen, Peter Sansome, Ross Parks and Jeffrey Richard I'm positive we can have another successful year.
This year our main event to come together is at the Atlantic Nationals in Moncton on July 9th- 11th. I am hoping that we have the best turnout the club has seen at this event. Come and show your support be it 1 day or the weekend.
Objectives for the year:
Have an annual club meeting while we are all together at the nationals.
Have an event we can go to as a club and have a cruise/show as we did last year at the Balloon Festival in Sussex.
Create a contact list for members with names and phone numbers.
Mainly to have a safe enjoyable summer and enjoy our cars.
If anyone has a creative idea for the club please get in touch with one of our members or myself and share it with us. Looking forward to meeting everyone this summer...

 World of Wheels magazine contacted me several months back asking if they could do an article on the Atlantic Z Car club. They were doing several articles on the Z car past and present and wanted to include an article on a Canadian Z Car club. After I picked myself up off the floor I contacted the club executives and we gathered the information the writer had asked for and forwarded it off. You can now find this article along with several other great Z car articles in the May issue of World of Wheels Magazine, volume 27, issue 3.
This issue of World of Wheels magazine includes articles on the new 2009 370Z, an interview with Randy Rodriguez (Canadian and designer behind the new Z), an article on the original 240z, and a great article about our club.  The Atlantic Z article begins with our club history then describes some of the car shows and events we participate in each year. It talks about our membership and website and ends with a write-up of 5 members cars.
