This link will take you to a couple of posts written by our scribe Rob Earl back in 2010.
Dumfries for Maple Syrup Annual Event
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday the first (1st) of March.
Depart at 1:00 for a 2:00 PM rendezvous at Dumfries for a late lunch.
As always, the inaugural season run is to Dumfries Maple for pancakes and such.
Let's meet at Miller's Ice, just up the road from where Prospect and Woodstock Roads meet. It's a blue metal building on the left that has an ice cream shop there in the summer.
If you plan on going separately, or joining in on the way PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I'll inform Dumfries so that they can arrange tables for us.
Anyone who fails to do so will be forced to sit outside in an icy puddle!

Notes from FABAC February Meeting
Our February dinner/meeting was another HUGE success with 20 folks showing up. Only three of us were 'tied' but we'll keep working on that. Last month, the Hilltop had been so good that we assumed it was a fluke and tried it again—you know—just to be sure. It was just as good. We'll have to visit there again.
- Gary opened the business with not much. Still in the throws of winter, and a darned nasty one at that, we haven't done much so there wasn't much to report.
- I (Rob E.) asked, begged and pleaded for folks to come to our annual spring run to Dumfries for maple syrup. This year should be especially good with the c-c-cold nights and sorta warm days.
- Ernst proposed a 25th anniversary outing at a lodge in New Maryland. We can either have it catered or do a pot luck. The ensuing discussion seemed to favour having a pot luck dinner.
Our next meeting will be at the NEW location of Namaste, our favourite East Indian restaurant. I had to look it up too and it's on Acorn street just off of Bishop Drive right before the Hanwell. (Why is it the Hanwell?)

FABAC Meeting/Eating February 18
I confirmed our February meeting for next week, the 18th at the Hilltop restaurant (again). It'll be at the regular time of 5:30 PM. We have the large seating area by the window on the left as you enter. I reserved for a massive crowd of 24—you know, just in case.

Robert E's Civic update
I got our trusty old 2008 Civic through the safety check (again). This time took a bit more work with two new(ish) doors. Swapping the door locks was a knuckle, finger mashing endeavour that left a bit of blood inside both sets of doors.
Morgatti !!!
Interesting video forwarded from our Left West Coast member, Dan Pantages. This just sold today through Hagerty. It has very strong Morgan roots and the small Ford flathead “60” used in some Simca cars up until about 1960.
Best!

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.
