VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (October 4) – After almost four decades at VanDuesen Botanical Gardens, the All British Field Meet in Vancouver, British Columbia is moving to a new location starting next year.  The Southlands Riding Club, located beside the Marine Drive Golf Club, will host its first All British Field Meet in 2027.  For regular attendees of the All British Field Meet in Vancouver the Victoria Day long weekend, the announcement does not come as too much of a surprise.  The car and spectator count of this event has increased steadily over the years.  Space was at a premium on the designated grass show area especially the last two-years.  The decision to move to a brand new location was also made easier for event organizers after the Vancouver Parks Board recently adjusted their policies which reads as follows;

"VanDuesen focuses on events that inspire a deeper understanding of plants and a passion for biodiversity and to encourage generations to conserve, protect and enhance the natural world and those that have lower risks of negative impacts to the Garden."

ABFM organizers say the Southlands Riding Club grounds will feature more room for participants on the tree lined, grass show field and more space for vendors, concessions and live entertainment.  Parking for spectators is also improved.  The 2027 Southlands All British Field Meet will be held Saturday, May 22nd.  British Car clubs in Western Canada, including the RROC Can-Am Prairie Region look forward to supporting this new adventure for the All British Field Meet in Vancouver at its new, larger location.
