FABAC's January Meeting/Eating Report

     The first meeting/dinner of 2026 (what!....already?) took place at the Hilltop on Prospect St. A bumper crowd of 23 showed up—exactly the same as last January.  Maybe the month is gifted?  

     Gary greeted everyone and launched into a rousing call for something—anything to help us celebrate our 25 years of mayhem and shenanigans.

• Phil gave some details of the planned 3 day-4 night trip he's planning around Nova Scotia and Cape Breton, with a ferry ride stuck in there somewhere.  Dates will be announced later. Anyone planning on attending MUST verify attendance with Phil soonest.
• Henning mentioned his experience playing phone tag while trying to contact a club member. I'll be contacting all currently active members to verify contact numbers.  This list will be made available to all members with the stipulation that it be used for personal contact only. Only those giving permission to have their info added will be included.

      Because we liked the Hilltop so much we decided to return there for the February meeting. Mark your calendars for the 18th of February.

      The picture that accompanies this report showcases the mug I received for Christmas.  It seems that someone has thrown down the gauntlet regarding my Jag that's been languishing in the garage for 7 years now. 

     *sigh*  Yes I'm working on her again and will absolutely have her on the road this summer.

January Meeting on 21st.

Our first meeting of the year will be held at the Hilltop Tavern on Jan 21 at 5:30. The reservation is under FABAC's name. 

 A few of the topics of discussion will be:

  i. How do we celebrate FABAC's 25th Anniversary? 

  ii. Phil's Nova Scotia tour proposal.

 

  I hope to see you there.

Happy 25th!

As I was sitting watching the wind blow outside my window, I started thinking of summer days. Hoping we will be able to have a couple of runs this summer. 

All the best,

John

 FABAC Holiday Party Cancelled!

Unfortunately due to the current forecast of heavy snow for early this evening I think it's only prudent to cancel our holiday party. I'll try to book another date and will have to confirm numbers later.

Thanks

FABAC Meeting/Eating Report Nov. 19

     Our second attempt at a dinner at Mingler's in Oromocto was much better received this time around.  We even welcomed several folks that we haven't seen in awhile, which was very nice and a good chance to catch up.  Pat S. was there with her shiny new teeth.  They looked great and she tells us that they work well.

     A quickee recap of the past month was mostly about John D's recent tours and his last top down blast. I should remind him that my personal best is -10ºC set some years ago. 

 

    The Holiday party is looking to be quite well attended with 20 folks now signed up. 

    Now that so many people having figured out where Mingler's is, we'll have to do it again. The food is great and very reasonably priced.

Someone might be interested in this.

I received this earlier today:

I currently have a past due parking tenant, currently the car is on bid13.com and will be sold to the highest bidder .  Apparently, it used to belong to professor at UNB,  it was sold and that owner then sold it to someone in Ontario.  Due to covid provincial border closures at the time, it was put in a parking spot at my work.  He never came for the car so it has been sitting for many years.  Recently, that person stopped paying for the parking spot and is unreachable.  So that is why it is being sold as is  without registration and keys.   I not sure if this may be something you or your members maybe interested in.  The auction closes on Nov 25, Unit Parking - Fredericton, New Brunswick | Apple Self Storage -Fredericton North | BID13
