Summit Point
We had 8 Lotus show up for the HPDE day at Summit Point on Thursday, April 13th. Two of the Elises participated in the HPDE event, and the rest of us -
another Elise, an Elan, two Sevens, an Evora and an Esprit - were spectators. We got to do a few parade laps, which was fun. I have posted some pictures
on our website. Anyone who has more pics is welcome to add them! (Contact Bob Collum, by responding to this email, if you need help.)

Britain on the Green Car Show
The next major club event is a big one - Britain on the Green, the first big British car show of the year! BoG will be held Sunday, April 30th, from
9:30AM to 3:30PM. We generally have a good turnout of the Lotus group; come join us! Location: 10709 Gunston Road Mason Neck, VA.
Here's a link to the Triumph Club's info about the show:

GYLO 24:
We have finalized plans for GYLO 24 - our regular local gathering of Lotus cars. GYLO is short for Get Your Lotus Out. It's an informal car show for just Lotus cars.
Hard to believe, but we did our first GYLO in 2011! We are looking forward to our Spring & Fall GYLOs for 2023. This year's Spring version is GYLO 24,
on Sunday, May 28. Location: The parking lot next to the Wells Fargo Bank, at 750 Walker Road, in Great Falls, VA. (This is behind where the Katie's Cars & Coffee is held,
on Saturday mornings.)

Lotus of DC Invites You to Sign up to Test Drive A Lotus Emira!
Lotus of DC, our local Lotus dealer, has announced that they will have a demo Emira at their facility for test drives, from May 17th thru May 24th.
Contact the General Manager via email , at - loc@ourismancars.com to reserve a slot to test drive the Emira!
General Information:
Katie's Cars & Coffee - every Saturday morning, year-round. 'Early' to well past 10:00AM.
It has come to my attention that not everybody is familiar with the Katie's Cars & Coffee location. This event has been going on since 2011, and is a very well-attended C & C.
So well-attended, in fact, that getting there early is key to getting a 'good' spot. (FYI - 'early' means before 7AM on Saturdays.) Since Katie's coffee shop is in a little
shopping village, not visible from Georgetown Pike (193), you need to know that the best entrance is the street between the Post Office and the Truist Bank.
If you use a NAV system, enter Katie's address -
760 Walker Rd, Great Falls, VA.
I go to Katie's, practically every Saturday, and we LOVE seeing Lotus in attendance! I post pictures on our website, and try to be sure to catch every Lotus I see.
Fairfax City Cars & Coffee - Sunday mornings, during good weather. 8:30AM - ~10:00AM.
If smaller events are more to your taste, and/or Sunday mornings suit your schedule better, we have a local event Sunday mornings,
from about 8:30AM - 10:00AM, in Fairfax City, VA. We meet at the Truist Bank parking lot, (used to be BBT Bank) 4020 University Dr, Fairfax, VA -
across from the fire station on University drive. A much smaller crowd, and an eclectic collection of vehicles. Again, I post pictures on our website,
just about every week.
