The British Invasion of West Coast Meet 2025
About this event
Registration for West Coast Meet 2025 is now closed.
We'll kick off Thursday night with a screening of "Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery". A swingin' fashion photographer by day and a groovy British secret agent by night, superspy Austin Powers must foil the sinister schemes of Dr. Evil. This will be an exclusive outdoor screening in the gardens behind the hotel. (Free event)
On Friday morning, we'll have a Drive Tour Fit for a King (or Queen). We'll caravan around the scenic hills near Atascadero, ending at the lovely, 3.5 acre Templeton Park.
THE AFTERNOON TEA IS SOLD OUT! What's more British than having a traditional Afternoon Tea? On Friday afternoon, yummy scones, cakes, and cucumber sandwiches will be served by the attentive and properly-attired staff. And to complete the experience, a live jazz trio will provide the background while you catch up with old friends. It will be the social event of the season!
"Lacroix, darling. Lacroix."
Who better to host a British fashion show than the fashion mavens, Patsy Stone and Edina Monsoon from "Absolutely Fabulous"? Come in British garb on Friday night and parade your stuff on the ballroom runway! We're looking for royalty, chimney sweeps, bobbies, 60's Carnaby Street fashions, and characters like Sherlock Holmes, Mrs. Slocombe, and James Bond. Trophies will be awarded by our wigged-out British judges!
The featured marques at the Saturday car show will be British, but all makes and models, foreign and domestic, will be on display. We'll even have a special VW category for Beetlemania!
And once balloting is completed, we'll have a Sign & Ride event where you'll be able to take short rides in our special cars.
NOTE: This year, we'll have digital voting through your smart phone! A link to the voting app can be sent to your phone either by email or text. When registering, please choose which method you'd like to use to receive the app.
The Saturday night awards banquet, featuring quintessentially British cuisine, will have a fun, multi-media stage event, parodying several British genres, with specially-written songs, special effects and cheeky humor. Top car honors will be awarded by the King himself!
The discounted rooms at Springhill Suites are sold out. If you'd like to come for the car show on Saturday and stay the night, you can call the hotel directly and speak to someone at the front desk to help with a reservation. (805) 462-3500
