Please mark your calendars. We had a great representation of FABAC vehicles at the last one we did at Eden's Retirement Villa on the north side—TR6, Corvette, Sunbeam Alpine, Morgan, Spitfire, TR3, Jaguar, MGB and a Marcos!

Father’s Day British Car Show

Perhaps this idea could be discussed at breakfast and/or meeting next week: I had a request for a Father’s Day British Car Show (Small scale) at Parkland Fredericton (Shannex) sometime during the week of Father’s Day (Afternoon or Evening). Suggestions for best day and time and how many would be interested in showing their car to the residents there.

Meeting/dinner/food fight.

Next week on the 21st at 5:30 PM, our monthly meetup and dinner will be at the Carnation Restaurant in Oromocto.   We've been there twice(?) before and have always enjoyed it.  One advantage is that there's lots of room.

See ya there!

Notes from FABAC April Meeting

April's Not-an-April-fools-day-dinner, dinner report. 

     Dimitris is always a great place to eat and being under new management hasn't changed that. We waited (and waited) for Ernst to show up (as promised) but he didn't. Sorry Ernst, ya missed out. 

      Gary opened by mentioning the Dumfries run and the recent drive down to Britt's Pub where a few of the old Saint John gang met us. 

      There was the usual call for day trips somewhere....anywhere! Spring is sorta, kinda, maybe showing its head...reluctantly, and we need to get out and enjoy it. We're gonna see where we can go in Sussex and that sea food place near the coast is also a fun trip when it warms up a bit more. 

      Donna and Robert brought along their daughter, Rochelle. With a newcomer in our midst we all sorta behaved ourselves. 

      The evening car shows will be starting up in May. Details will appear here. 

      There's a car show in Hoyt on June 7th between 10 and 2. 

It looks like the next dinner will be in Oromocto at the Carnation Chinese food place on the 21st of May. We've been there a few times and enjoyed it.

This an awesome museum and if I ever again get the desire to go to the Excited States of America, this will be on my list!
