FABAC Celebrates 20+2 Years!!!

Update for THIS Sunday's run.

This Sunday, the 2nd of April, we will gather on the Woodstock Rd at Steve's Big Scoop, now closed for the season.

We will leave at 1:00 PM sharp for a 2:00 PM arrival at Dumfries Maple Syrup.

This is a rain or snow, or sleet, or hail, or snot run. The weather looks reasonable but you know how it changes.

Some hope for the younger generation

I thought the club members might be interested in this. It’s nice to see someone under 30 working on a British Car. This kid looks like he’s under 18 working on an MGB— three episodes.

Cheers,

John

POSTPONED: First run of the season: Dumfries Maples 26th March

This run is postponed due to weather

I hope to be able to reschedule it for next week. Stay tuned.

Next Sunday at Dumfries Maples in (you guessed it) Dumfries at 1:30PM.

~~I propose we meet at the Timmies where Prospect St and~~ ~~Woodstock Rd meet for a~~ 12:30-ish departure.

Due to congestion at the Timmies parking area, lets meet at Miller's Ice just a bit further up on the left.
Blue metal building. They have an ice cream shop there in the summer.
Good call Phil.

The reservation is for 12 people and if we have more I'll call and see what I can do.

Please indicate your intention here as soon as possible!

Notes from FABAC March meeting.

While the dinner went for some time as we languished over a variety of goodies at The Wolastoq Wharf restaurant, the meeting part was taken care of in record time.

Ernst V will lead a group to Quebec City this summer. Details will be posted soon.
The next meeting/dinner will be at Byblos Restaurant on the 19th of April. Ann Crumley volunteered to make the arrangements.
The first run of the season: to Dumfries Maples for maple syrup, will take place
on the 26th of March. See details here.
There was a short discussion regarding restaurants that we haven't been to in some time. It was suggested that we make a list as reference.
All members send their regards to Barb-n-Gary in Florida. We hope that Gary doesn't mind being dragged to all those RC airplane events.
