The VRCBC held its annual banquet and awards presentations at the Burnaby Lake Rugby Club on November 21st. In the true VRCBC tradition, everything was kept very informal and a good time was had by all. Check out the photos of the various award winners below.
Next up is the Annual General Meeting on January 15th. Then it is time to get your car(s) ready for next season; the first Vintage races are on April 11th! See you at the track!
