June 19 to June 22, 2020 Rangeley Lakes Trip, TRIP IS CANCELED
2020-06-19 08:00 - 2020-06-22 17:00
Trip is canceled due to the Maine’s Governor not permitting the hotel to open until June 1, and during the month of June they may only host guests from within Maine. That restriction currently continues through the summer in the form of a 14-day quarantine for visitors from out of state.

Explore the Maine Mountain and Lakes Region
Rangeley Lake, Maine
Friday, June 19, 2020 thru Monday, June 22, 2020 3 night stay
Lillian Orchard, mslillyo@outlook.com or 781-762-2145
The westernmost portion of Maine is an extension of the majestic White Mountains into Maine and is a place of great scenic beauty. All manner of water sports are done on the region’s numerous lakes. Rangeley Lake State Park consists of 869 remote acres on the 10-square-mile lake, which is famous for landlocked salmon and trout fishing. There are designated National and State scenic roads in abundance.
Our first day’s ride will cover Rangeley Lakes Area. We will wind through the mountains and lakes of western Maine on the Rangeley Lakes Scenic Byway and the Grafton Notch Scenic Byway. We can step back in time and treat ourselves to spectacular scenery, outstanding recreational opportunities, abundant wildlife, local museums and quaint New England villages.
Our second day trip we will be traveling up for lunch in Greenville, Maine on the banks of Moosehead Lake and traveling The Old Canada Road Scenic Byway. This is a snapshot in time. Tracing the route of generations of travelers between Maine and Quebec, this segment of U.S. Route 201 winds right alongside the Kennebec River, Wyman Lake, and the Dead River. Encounter old-time villages and abundant wildlife in mountain ridges, forests, and rivers.
Come join us for a 4-day event starting on Friday, June 19, 2020 and ending Monday, June 22, 2020.

Our accommodations are in The Historic Rangeley Inn, located at 2443 Main Street, Rangeley Lake, Maine. The Rangeley is located on a National Scenic Byway, including dramatic views of Rangeley Lake, Mooselookmeguntic Lake and the surrounding mountains. One of the last of nearly a dozen of grand hotels that were built in the early 1900’2 in the region.
We have 14 rooms blocked until 2/1/2020. There is a limitation of 14 cars on this trip. Once filled there will be a waitlist.
For June 19, 20 and 21, 2020, the inn offers a group rate of $120.00 plus 9% lodging tax per night. This would include breakfast each morning. The rate would be good for rooms inside the inn with one queen bed, one king bed, or two queen beds. They require a one-night deposit for each room that is rented, and their group rates follow a 14-day cancellation policy. The rooms are blocked until February 1, 2020, permitting you adequate time to place your reservation and deposit.
You can book a reservation by calling the inn at 207-864-3341 or you can visit http://www.therangeleyinn.com , click RESERVATIONS, enter arrival 6/19/20 and departure 6/22/20, and use the promo code Miata2020. This will present a wide range of options including the 14 rooms that are blocked at the rate we discussed, but also other room types at a discounted rate.
Contact Lillian Orchard once you have made your hotel reservations. Please include your cellphone number with that email.
You are not counted as an attendee until you notify me by email, and I have sent an acknowledgement.

June 14, 2020 Business/Election Meeting
2020-06-14 11:00 - 14:00
Due to the covid 19 virus this years annual election/business meeting will be virtual by Zoom. A email will be sent to all Mass Miata Club Members giving you the link to be able to join the meeting.

May 27, 2020 Mass Miata Club Zoom Video Get Together
2020-05-27 20:00 - 21:00
Join us on Wednesday at 8:00 P.M. for our Zoom video get together. This is a good opportunity to have a chat with your Miata friends. An email will be sent to all Mass Miata club members giving you the link to join in on the fun.

Mass Miata Annual Meeting "Zoom Warm Up"
2020-05-27 20:00 - 21:00 | Zoom
Due to the current COVID-19 crisis, the Mass Miata club has been unable to gather for in-person meetings. In order to keep in touch the club is now using Zoom for on-line meetings and a chance to socialize. For this year’s MMC Annual Meeting, we’ll be using an online Zoom format. This meeting is an important meeting where we elect our club officers for the next year. MMC Bylaws allow for the meeting to be conducted with whatever number of members attend. The club would like to have as many members as possible attend the online meeting.
In order to prepare for the MMC Annual Meeting, we will be holding a “warm up” meeting on Wednesday May 27th, 2020 at 8:00pm. We hope that you can attend.
An email with Zoom meeting information has been emailed to every active club member. Please use the Zoom link in the email to join the online event. If you are an active member and did not receive the email, please contact club membership at membership@massmiata.net.
If you are apprehensive of new computer software, don’t be. Zoom is remarkably easy to use. Here is a link to a Zoom instructional video. https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362193-Joining-a-Meeting.
Ed Jutras will be hosting the meeting and will be admitting attendees to the meeting. If you wish, you need do nothing more than observe the proceedings. If you have a question or statement, you will have the opportunity to speak. Orchestrating an online meeting takes additional control so that everyone is not trying to talk at once. Ed will exercise control of who has the floor, so that the speaker or report may be heard by all attending.
So in these difficult times when our Miatas sit idle, log on Wednesday evening to have a chat with your Miata friends. We have been holding routine Wednesday night meetings. Most are less formal than the Annual Meeting will be, with conversations running here there and everywhere, an electronic picture of the Mass Miata waiting to begin a drive.

Cape Cod Canal Cruise and Scenic Foliage Run

Saturday, October 12, 2019 8:00 A.M. – 4:00 P.M.

By Lillian Orchard, mslilllyO@outlook.com 781-929-2375 or 781-762-2145

Before the Cruise there will be a scenic drive through the Southeastern Massachusetts back roads to take in the New England Autumn Foliage. We will then street park in downtown Onset, Wareham, MA and board the Hy-Line Cruise for a two-hour cruise through the Cape Cod Canal. Pack yourself a picnic lunch to bring with you and there is a full-service bar on board with snacks. The cruise is from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM. We will stop for ice cream after the cruise.
The Cape Cod Canal, a man-made National Civil Engineering Landmark, is the widest sea-level canal (without locks) in the world. Come out with us on a tour and see all the interesting landmarks along the canal. It’s guaranteed to be a wonderful time out on the water.

We will meet at the Regency Westford at 2:30pm, for the 70 mile / 2 hour trip to the Northfield Drive-In. We will be going on back roads for the whole trip – there is one brief section (less than a mile) on an unpaved road that will take in 2nd gear. We’ll stop about halfway through the trip for ice cream. The gates at the Northfield will open at 6:30pm. There is a snack bar in the drive-in serving burgers/hot dogs/pizza (and popcorn, of course), or you can bring your own picnic dinner. Folding chairs or a picnic blanket might be a good idea; bug spray is essential! Tickets are $24/car – cash only, paid at the gate. The movie screening should start about ½ hour after sunset, or 8:30PM. After the movie(s), you can plan a late night return or stay overnight at one of the nearby inexpensive motels.

Bring your stock or customized, daily driver or garage queen Miata to the largest Miata/MX5 Only event in the Northeast on the lawn of the beautiful Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, MA.
Only Miatas will be parked on the lawn and displayed during our car day.
Come join us on the lawn and help us beat the record breaking attendance of 190 cars!!!
Show off your Roadster to other Miata owners and to the general public. There will be classic Rock & Roll tunes played and plenty of time to check out the Best Selling Sports Car of all time.
The event is open to all Miata owners or anyone interested in the Miata / MX-5 – you do not need to be a Mass Miata Club member to attend or to display your Miata.
This is not a concourse event, just the selection of Peoples Choice Miatas by attendees and the public. It’s intended as a day to have fun, show off your Miata and visit with friends. Blankets, lawn chairs, umbrellas, and picnic baskets are welcome, and food will also be available for purchase. Visit the museum, view the Boston skyline, and pick your favorite Miata.
There will be trophies and door prizes.
Based on popular vote trophies will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in four Miata generation classes:

NA (1989-1997)
NB (1999-2005)
NC (2006-2015)
ND (2016-2017)

* Miata Parts Swap *
Again we will be having a Miata Parts Swap Event where you can bring your misc Miata parts to offer for swap or sale with other Miata owners, but with some changes in the rules.
Swap time noon to 1:00 PM

Parts will be displayed at designate location. You must register your name, phone, etc. on the day of the show to be part of the swap. Bring items you want to sell or swap, and come look-see what other people have that you might be interested in
No whole engines, transmissions, or other large or heavy items that are difficult to carry and/or not easy to move around – let’s keep it reasonable, please…
As a seller you must be in attendance during the swap to answer buyer questions and execute your transaction(s) – no leaving notes on items for people to contact you later
After the swap you must take home with you all items you brought that didn’t sell, along with any items you bought or swapped for.

The MOT is okay with us doing this as long as there are no abandoned parts that someone else (they) would need to dispose of.
The MOT and Mass Miata Club assume no liability for any damages to your parts and assumes no responsibility to resolve any disputes that might arise between buyers and sellers.

Additional details:

The entry fee is Cash or Check $20 for car, driver, and one passenger/guest. Spectator admission is $10 for adults and $5 for children and senior citizens. All admissions include entry to both the Larz Anderson Auto Museum and the lawn/picnic grounds
Registration is available at the gate on the day of the event – No pre-registration is required
This is a “Rain or Shine” event!

The Mass Miata Club is grateful to Mazda for their assistance and support of this event.

TRIP IS N OW FULL
June 15, 2019 Saturday Gillette Castle, Essex Steam Train Run.
Meeting Location: McDonald’s in front of the Lincoln Mall 622 George Washington Hwy, Route 116 Lincoln, RI 02865
Time: 8:00 AM
Trip leader: Les Barton
Contact information: cbmiata@verizon.net or (508) 725-9045
Our trip will include a stop a Gillette Castle for a picnic lunch and time to stroll the grounds or tour the castle. We will then board a ferry boat for a short trip across the Connecticut River. Then a short drive to the Essex Steam train for a two and half hour combined train and scenic boat trip. Afterwards dinner for those interested.

Gillette Castle State Park straddles the towns of East Haddam and Lyme, Connecticut in the United States, sitting high above the Connecticut River. The castle was originally a private residence commissioned and designed by William Gillette, an American actor who is most famous for his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes on stage. Gillette lived at this estate from 1919–1937.[2] The estate was purchased by the state of Connecticut in 1943 for a price of $5,000.

About the Train
Essex Steam Train & Riverboat’s 2 1/2-hour journey begins at the historic 1892 Essex Station for a 12-mile, narrated round-trip into the heart of the unspoiled Connecticut River Valley. The steam locomotive pulls vintage coaches through the quintessential New England towns of Deep River and Chester. A natural highlight is the undeveloped Selden Neck State Park, accessible only by boat. Essex Steam Train offers unique access to several coves and preserves, immersing passengers in an on-board eco-excursion. The train travels near the tidal wetlands of Pratt Cove and Chester Creek — bountiful, natural habitats for birds including Cormorants, Ducks, Swans, Greenland Geese, Blue Heron, Egrets, and Red-winged Blackbirds. In February and March, the majestic Bald Eagle is the star of the show when it migrates south to the Connecticut River Valley from Canada and Maine.

About the Riverboat
At Deep River Landing, passengers are escorted onto the Becky Thatcher riverboat for a 11/4– hour cruise along the Connecticut River. The visual serenity of the river valley is on full display from Becky‘s multiple decks. The deep water, coves, inlets, marshes, wildlife, and rocky shoreline are, all at once, simply breathtaking!

Just as impressive are the historic sites, including Gillette Castle, Goodspeed Opera House and the Haddam Swing Bridge. Upon Becky‘s return to Deep River Landing, the steam train welcomes passengers for the return trip back to Essex.
After the train/boat trip dinner at Lenny and Joe’s Fish Tail in Westbrook Ct.
Costs:
Gillette Castle tour: $6.00 per person
Ferry Boat: $6.00 per vehicle
Train/Boat trip: We have a group rate of $24.00 per person providing we get twenty people. The fee will be collected at the driver’s meeting, please bring exact change.
Please contact Les Barton by Wednesday June 12th if you plan on joining us for the day.

Brunch and a Show February 24th, 2019 RSVP by February 14th, 2019
2019-02-24 12:00 - 17:00
Brunch and a Show February 24

Dreading the post-holiday winter blahs? Here’s an event that, while admittedly a bit self serving, should be fun, and a great way to connect with all your Miata Club friends. I’m playing cello in the pit orchestra of the Sudbury Savoyard’s production of the Gilbert and Sullivan show Yeoman of the Guard. “Set in the Tower of London in the days of Henry VIII, the show has elements of comedy, tragedy, intimacy and pageantry. Gilbert’s plot combines a myriad of twists and turns with a host of believable and sympathetic characters; Sullivan contributed one of his grandest scores.” To get an advance flavor of the music, check out recordings on Youtube from the famous D’Oyly Carte Opera Company: Act One, Act Two .
I’d like to invite club members to join Paul and me at noon on Sun., Feb. 24 for the jazz brunch at Bullfinch’s Restaurant, 730 Boston Post Road in Sudbury. The performers are the Cindy Lou trio. Following brunch we’ll drive about five miles to Lincoln-Sudbury High School, where the 2:00 p.m. show will be held. Tickets are $25/$22 seniors and can be purchased on line.
If you’d like to come, please book your tickets individually and then e-mail me, Celia Raia, at c_raia@yahoo.com, by Feb. 14 so I can get a head count for brunch.
We hope to see you there!

Yankee Swap Details

To participate bring a wrapped gift in the $10-$15 range. Gifts can be:
• a humorous joke gift (or not)
• bizarre (or not)
• useful (or not)
• automotive (or not)
• THAT holiday present you received and wondered “what were they thinking… ”
• Use your imagination and make this the best Yankee Swap Ever! Let’s have some fun with this gang.
Participation is voluntary – it’s fun to watch even if you’re not participating, however the more the merrier! Gifts and participation can be per person or per couple. Just remember that to select a gift you must bring one. Most couples opt to have each person bring a gift so each can participate. Here’s how our Yankee Swap at the holiday party will work:
1. Each person or couple that brought a wrapped present gets to draw a number.
2. The person with #1 selects and then opens a present.
3. The person with the next highest number (2 in this case) chooses and opens a present. They then decide whether they want to keep the present they just opened or swap it for any other opened present.
4. Lather, rinse, repeat step 3 until all numbers have been used and all presents have been opened.
5. Finally, the person who drew #1 gets to swap the present they are holding for any other present.
After this, consenting adults are free to swap their present with anyone else.
Some Yankee Swap etiquette “rules”:
• people choosing their present are not allowed to fold, spindle, mutilate, or otherwise fondle the presents before choosing one.
• participants cannot hide their opened presents they want to keep. (to prevent others from swapping with them)

We are all fortunate enough to have one or more of our fun little cars and I don’t know about you, but every time I am able to go on a ride with the top down it brings a big smile to my face. Let’s put that same smile on the face of a needy child with a new toy. Bring one or more new and unwrapped toy which will be donated to the toy for tots program.
I spoke with Roger at Wrights Farm and all the toys he collected from his staff plus the toys we brought last year added up to over 300 toys. Imagine all the kids smiling faces. I can.

Come join us on our last scheduled ride of the year before the gloomy days of winter arrive. Being the last ride of the season it tends to be very popular and we usually split into two groups or maybe even three this year. Last year I had 69 people and 39 cars. This year we could easily need to split into four groups.
As usual imaginative head wear is encouraged.

We will meet at 8:30 AM at the Home Depot Sutton Ave. Oxford, MA. Drivers meet at 8:45 AM with the first group departing at 9:00 AM. Time may change depending on how many cars we have.
