The Nova Enthusiasts of Winnipeg car club was formed in August 1999. A couple of us Nova enthusiasts were just hanging around and we realized that there was no real *car club* we could fit into. There was the Pontiac Association, full of Pontiacs, Mustang Club, Grand National/Regal Club, Fabulous Fiftys for the old OLD cars, Corvette Club, which is HUGE in Winnipeg, but nothing for us Nova guys. So one Sunday Night at Pony Coral, Trevor, Steven, Derek and I (Dave) decided FINE!!, let's start one.

As we talked to other Nova Owners about whether they'd be interested in it, alot of them sounded interested and that if anything came of it, to count them in.

It was decided that I would be the chosen one to run such a club and we called it, NOVA ENTHUSIASTS OF WINNIPEG. I started on a website right away, why a website?, well, so all Nova Enthusiasts from ALL over the world could glance and see what kinds of Novas were here in Winnipeg.

So the weeks went by and we slowly were getting more and more guys in it. In Spring of 2000, we had 9 members. A year later (Sept 2000), we have 17 members. Now that we have a base for a club, I will be getting a more *club-like* atmosphere going. After collecting the information from the members, I'm gonna see if there's any interest in holding a monthly meeting. Figured I could save that for Sunday nights while we're hanging out at the Pony Coral or at Tim's (Off Main St, just North of Jefferson).

Seeing how this club isn't costing anything, we're not collecting any fees. It's just basically for fun!!, to hang around others with the same interests as you.

I was hoping in 2001, that we would all get together and discuss the direction of the club, of course, once I get everybodys info, that'll help out ALOT! in ways I can contact members. Right now our only contact in on the street and cruising places.

During this upcoming year of 2002, I have had 8 people who have registered, and I'm gonna try to be more agressive and steer our club forward.... to what?... I dunno.

I'm hoping that *we* as a club, will take part in various car shows, maybe even some charity work. In Sept of 2000, the club, well, some members took part in the 5th Annual Huntington's Indy Go-Kart Challenge and raised $300 for Huntington's Disease. It was a 6 member team for the event and we came up REAL short and had a few family members fill in. We only had a week to prepare for this. In 2001, I failed in recruiting members to even form one team, which I failed horrible short of my goal to enter in 2 teams. Hopefully we can make up for it in 2002.

However in 2003, I started a new job which didn't leave me much free time, and the club kinda fell back into the shadows.

2004, towards the end of the summer, I realized the club is pretty low-key. With many new people expressing interest and wanting to join, and having a little more free time now, I'm gonna get this club rolling for 2005. I'm planning to update the site completely, also contact and see who's still in and out, and try to plan to get together, either to have a club night out once a month, or to get together and head out to Car Shows intown and out of town, together as a group.

The following few years past, really no one has been running things ... however we all remain intouch with one and other. There's been a surge of people from outside Manitoba showing interest in joining our club. A new chapter of the club was formed in 2006. 'Friends of N.E.W.' This section is for the members outside of Manitoba, who are part of our club, but are just ... outside of our city/province. Neverless, they are as much of a member as you and I.

For thoses of you who have the Pontiac Acadians, Pontiac Ventura, Olds Omegas and Buick Apollo are ALL welcome into our club !!, ALL Corporate Cousins are welcome in N.E.W !!
