We had another great turn out for our regular monthly meeting on Wed with 24 FABACIANS turning out. Only 4 brave souls contested the not-so-great weather, they were David and Carolyn Nielsen and Bob and Dianne Earl. It's good to see the Morgan back on the road again. Our tours just didn't seem right without it.
Here's what we discussed:
- The PEI British Car Show in July. Many who attended thought it was one of the best shows so far. Bob Bentley, his crew and Strait Crossing did a magnificent job overall. It was highly recommended to make your reservations for next year early due to the growing attendance. This year there were near 200 cars on display. For details see the previous report on the show posted in July.
- Tim Ross recently got his 72 MGB back from the body shop. Tim and Debbie circulated pictures of their returned "B". It looked spectacular! Now Tim has the job of reassembling it and getting it on the road. Debbie will provide emotional support. Hopefully they will be sporting it next summer.
- Ralph Holyoke's proposal for a run to the huge British car show in Stowe drew considerable discussion but unfortunately did not draw any commitments from the attending group. Maybe next year. Hopefully Ralph will be able to attend and will provide a glowing report that will attract our members for next year.
- The St Andrews/Algonquin Annual Brunch scheduled for Sunday Aug 26/07 is cancelled. Jim Woodford sends his regrets but business commitments prevent him from attending. In its place, Gary and Barb, will organize a Pot Luck/Poker Run at their place on Saturday Aug 25/07 please see site for details.
- Algonquin Run for Thanksgiving. We are planning an Algonquin Run for Thanksgiving Oct. 7/07, details to follow.
- Next meeting, Wednesday Sept 19th, will be held at the Swiss Chalet on Prospect St. 6pm for Supper, 7pm for the Meeting.
Tks,
Gary
