Notes from September Meeting

   Under unusually balmy skies, we met at the MOCO restaurant at Mactaquac.  The drive was particularly enjoyable since much of the road had been recently repaved.   The start of the evening saw us languishing on the balcony enjoying the great view as folks trickled—then flooded in.
   Once inside, Gary took the floor.

• Anne Crumley was thanked for organizing the dinner.  They had kept it open just for us—a gesture we appreciated. 
• Rita & Bob were thanked (again) for the outing at their cottage. 
• Gary gave a report on the visit to Saint John for the tall ships. 
• While heavy rain caused the Stanley Fair visit to be cancelled, Sandra & Larry were thanked for their work in organizing it. 
• Phil's work in organizing the bi-weekly breakfasts was recognized.  While there's normally a smallish turnout, it's always with different folks, demonstrating its popularity. 
• John Dewitt's last minute run to the Sussex Balloon Fest was quite well attended and all participants enjoyed it. This is an event we used to attend in great numbers, perhaps it's time to put more emphasis on it. 
• Elva & Al threw together an ice cream run recently that was a big hit. 
• Kelvin had a quick report on the Jemseg car show. 

Upcoming Events.... 

• This Saturday (23rd Sept) will see a large car show called 'Freddy Beach' at the Exhibition centre grounds. There wasn't much enthusiasm for it but a few of us will be attending as spectators. 
• John B. is leading the charge...again, to the Carter house for a thanksgiving dinner on Oct 1st.  This is always a popular event and coincides with our gorgeous fall colours.  See the post on the site. 
• There will be the annual run to Adolf's Gasthous near Sussex for Octoberfest.  This is tentatively scheduled for the 29th of Oct and will be the last official LBC run before winter.  I hope to be joined by the Moncton crowd.

  John's quiz featured a handicap of 4 points to anyone who had previously won it.  Many questions were of a general nature allowing non-car folks to take a stab at it.  After a fierce battle, the trophy was taken home by David N.

**The next meeting will be a Sam Snead's on the 18th of Oct.**
