Thurs Jan 8, PSC General Meeting   We won’t be meeting on January 1 since everyone will be still celebrating the New Year and watching Football.  So we’ve planned our first meeting of the month on the following Thursday, January 8.  We hope you will join us at 7 pm for a General Meeting at Miller’s Ale House and relax, have some food & drinks and share your Holiday stories.  Miller’s is located at 455 E. Butterfield Rd in Lombard, just across the street from Yorktown shopping center. We are in the private room, closest to Butterfield Rd (north side of building).

Please reply to the meeting notice on Meetup. Our Club needs to provide a headcount at least one week before the meeting so please reply before that.

Tues Jan 20 Happy Hour, Imperial Oak Brewing (And Maybe A Hike Too) Happy hour (and probably a hike before) at Imperial Oak Brewing: 501 Willow Blvd #100, Willow Springs. Join your fellow Piccadillians from 4-6 pm at Imperial Oaks Brewing located at the corner of Willow Springs Road and Archer Avenue in the Village Circle. Imperial Oaks allows us to bring our own food, or you can order and have food delivered from anywhere you like.

Weather permitting there will be a hike beforehand. Meet at 3pm at the John Husar I & M Canal bike trail. The path is walk-in/walk-out and it’s paved and mostly flat. Please RSVP on Meetup and indicate if you’ll be there for the hike too. Check Meetup closer to the date to confirm the hike was not changed due to weather. We can enjoy happy hour rain or shine. Hosted by Dar and Ken M

Sun Feb 15, Slot Car Racing, Westmont, 1-3 pm, 

Chicagoland Raceway, 17 West Ogden Ave, Westmont, IL  60559,

708-203-8003

Mark your calendars for this fun event!  Piccadilly will be racing around the track instead of down the slopes Sunday 2/15/26.   We will again go to Chicagoland Raceway to use your trigger finger to race slot cars around an 8-lane track.  There will only be 16 racers, in 2 heats of 8 racers rotating to the next lane after each heat.  Cost is $10.00/pp. Those not racing will be staged around the course to replace cars that spin off the track.  We are allowed to bring in our own snacks and beer or wine (as long as no one is under 21).  Afterwards, we can pick a place to celebrate.   

With only 16 spots for racing, if you are not a Piccadilly paid member and do not know how to reach Cheryl Skurkis directly, put a message in Meetup asking if any "racing spots" are left and if there are, Cheryl will contact you through Meetup to let you know.  Otherwise, plan to come and watch and cheer the PSC racers on to Victory!
