Report by Bob S. on June FABAC Meeting

Twenty two FABACians rode their way under threatening skies up to Dumfries and the Moonlight Restaurant where we experienced some great home-style cooking and the usual good fellowship. Jim B gave a short report which consisted of a number of reminders. First, was the June 28th Fly-in Breakfast at Granite Hill. Organizers are again extending an invitation to the club for our attendance. Let’s have another great turnout for this event.

Jim also reminded those present about the British Car Days PEI event which is coming up on the July 12th weekend. Although the early thinking was that we would fore go the July club meeting because of its close proximity to the PEI trip, there was sufficient interest in meeting once again. This time we will be scooting out to Harvey to meet at the Lougheed Pub and Eatery. Details to follow.

Good news item: It seems that Phil O. is back in commission again after his long recuperation from his freak bike accident last year.

A special guest in attendance at the meeting was Peter Mittler who was in the area having just arrived from Ontario in his red B. We enjoyed meeting him, seeing his beautiful B, his nifty B trailer and hearing about the upcoming MG meets in the US and the Ontario show that he is helping organize in 2010. Plans are in the works to have a “drive-by-tooting” during his son’s outdoor wedding in Keswick on Saturday. Watch our web site for further details.

Jim M announced a couple of local upcoming car shows. The first is this coming Saturday, June 21st at Auto Machinery from 10:00-2:00. The second is on the following Saturday at World Class Auto and the time is also from 10:00-2:00.

Gary and Barb regret to inform that the pot-luck gathering that they were to host on June 29th has had to be cancelled due to other commitments. The Alders have extended an invitation to have the club to their house for a pot-luck in July. Details to follow.
