Report on May 17 FABAC Meeting

    Our monthly get together for May saw a sizable turnout.  It seems that everyone survived the flood, although the pre-dinner tour had to be cancelled due to several of the roads still being under water. 
  • Again, Kelvin was thanked for the St Georges Day party.  The spectacle of  the  'Barfing Dog' will live on in FABAC lore.
  • The breakfast get togethers continue to be a rousing success and thanks were extended to Phil.  They will continue on an ad hoc basis and members are reminded to check the website frequently. 
  • John B was thanked for his work in organizing the first tour.  It was cancelled due to flood waters still covering some of the planned route. 
  • Tim-n-Debbie were unable to attend due to a hopefully not nasty flue bug.  Tim has promised us the story of the blue E-Type's appearance in Freddy 25 years ago. 
  • There was much discussion on the upcoming Windsor car show with Larry leading the charge to take a group on the ferry.  We (someone?) will look into accommodations in Saint John now that Ralph's place has been sold. 
  • There will be a July 1st parade in Stanley with more details being announced as the date draws closer. 
  • There was considerable discussion on the possibility of an award sponsored by us to be presented at the Windsor show.   The incentive is to provide support for the show.  After a lot of discussion a vote was held.  The consensus was that our continued attendance was more than enough support.  We DID agree to donate a gift basket of New Brunswick items to be given at the banquet. Gary will check with the show organizers. 
  • A tour to Minister's Island was discussed as were other tours. 
  • Bob E. will contact Ralph and arrange a tour to the new Reversing Falls restaurant and a visit to Ralph and Karen's new place. The planned date is the 4th of June. 
  • Bob (no-longer-2CV-Bob) mentioned a car show in Woodstock on the 11th of June.  Details will follow. 
  • Joe won John's quiz—yet again—despite a three point handicap.
  • The next meeting will be at Sam Snead's (upstairs) on the 21st of June.
    The club welcomed a long lost member back to the fold in the name of Henning Theorin.
