Registration Deadline & Fees
Hello Everyone!
We just want to inform everyone that the registration deadline for Miatas on the Bay has been extended to July 26th for those outside of Thunder Bay and August 10th for local Miata owners. If you are in need of a hotel room, the deadline for discounted room reservations is June 25th. Please note that rooms may still be available after June 25th, but for a slightly higher cost.
Some people want to know what the $20 per person registration fee is going to be used for. We are going to use the money for the Meet & Greet held on the first evening. If there is any money left over, we are going to donate that to the Alzheimer's Society of Thunder Bay.
We have no club and no sponsors...just a couple of Miata nuts who wanted to put on a party.
