These GYLOs are always great events. An awesome way to meet locals and hopefully do more events together in the future.

We get A LOT of Lotus at these events! (The record is over 35 Lotus in attendance; with the pent-up desire to have meet-ups, I think we could beat that!) Sometimes, club members organize a drive, before or after GYLO. If you would be interested in participating in (or organizing) a drive to or from GYLO, respond to this post. Here are two pictures from GYLOs in 2019:

Another GYLO is in the books! We had 22 Lotus in attendance... not bad at all, and a good variety of cars - Elises, Exiges, Evoras, as well as an Elan and a Seven! In our 'Favorite Lotus Contest', by popular vote, Mark Whitaker's lovely Elan took first place. We had 4 runners-up: Matt Skein's Exige: Joe's (just Joe) Exige: Miki Bakhtar's Evora:

...and, the final tied-for-second-place finisher... Tom Shumaker's Seven... Prizes were awarded to these 'Favorite Lotus Contest' winners. We also had a door prize drawing, and (thanks to our Chief Scrounger, Mark Franke) most people left with some sort of memento. 8 people stayed for lunch at Katie's, and had a good time, talking Lotus and many other subjects. Keep your eye on our club calendar... We already have scheduled a breakfast get-together at Hawk & Griffin Pub, in Vienna, Virginia, for Sunday, June 12th, 9:30AM: novalotusclub.freeforums.net/thread/1006/breakfast-hawk-griffin-sunday-juneWe expect to add more to the club events calendar, as the year progresses, so visit this site regularly! I will try to send out emails for our club's major events, but we list non-club activities, like track days and car shows on our calendar. (I also post some cars & coffee pictures weekly.) If any of these interest you, watch the calendar. --Bob Collum

Fun day. Terrific seeing everyone, and thanks to Bob and Mark for putting together another great GYLO. Thanks to Mark for all the cool prizes and other mementos (as Bob mentioned), and thanks to Bob for once again having the weather makers reserve a dry timeslot for us, even during days of rain. I took a ton of photos, as usual, which I'll post soon. A couple are below: Mark speaking to the masses about club activities, and Phil Mitchell (far right) described the upcoming LOG (register if you haven't already!)
