While most of our cars are sleeping over the winter months, the Members of AMOC Canada West have a tradition of getting together for a Christmas Luncheon. The daily drivers are the usual mode of transport in winter. This year the group chose a new venue, Season’s Restaurant in Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver. Normally the restaurant affords a nice view of the city and the mountains. However, on this day, there was a December fog and it was impossible to see the edge of the park.
Nevertheless, 28 members of the section showed up for the luncheon. It was a special moment, as Area Representative John Armitage was stepping down after 5 years of service to the Section.
A special thank-you gift was organized by the Assistant Reps Tim Symons, Wyman Lee, Jim Thompson and incoming Area Representative, David Thomas. Tim happened to remember that Bowmore, the scotch-maker, has special editions of vintage whiskies co-branded with Aston Martin.
The 15-year vintage featuring a DB4 on the box was procured and gifted to John at the luncheon with the thanks of all the AMOC members he has served.
