Membership and Open Wheel participation are declining. Summer 2025 
driver training was cancelled. Quote from the June minutes - "The 
committee is focusing on possibly meeting with BCCCA for informal 
discussions about working collaboratively.  There are many hurdles to 
consider to race at Area 27."

Area 27 is a race facility in Oliver BC, at least 4-5 hours east of 
Vancouver. Yeh, that would be a long drive. Why even consider if happy 
at Mission? Are drivers not happy? Look at the numbers.

May 2025 meeting minutes:

Regular members 198, Associate members 4, Life members 21, Honorary 2 & 
Emeritus 22 for a total of 247
members.

To date through June - 28 Open Wheel drivers have entered a race

June 2024 meeting minutes (no May minutes published, likely picked up
