John Bowles is proposing "A Real British Car Day Tour" for Saturday, August 14th for ALL FABACians driving British and non-British cars. Starting at 10.30 am from the Fredericton Ramada, the route would go to Jemseg, Cambridge Narrows, Springfield and Kingston. At Kingston, there would be a pit stop and a visit to the John Fisher Memorial Museum and the oldest Anglican church in New Brunswick on its original foundation.
After a guided tour of the church, the route would continue a few kilometres from Kingston to the riverside property of Tony Rickett. Here, tour participants would be able to display their cars on the grounds at the water's edge. eat the picnic lunches they have brought, and enjoy Tony's collection of British classics (Jaguar, Triumph, Austin-Healey etc.) and his extensive vineyard! A bottle of the vineyard's best product would go the winner of a special car-related competition.
Later in the afternoon, the tour would proceed to the Grand Bay-Westfield ferry (pit stop) along Rte 850 which has to have some of the most beautiful views in New Brunswick, After the ferry, participants would drive to Evandale where at the Evandale Inn dinner around 5.30 pm would be served. After dinner, the tour would end in Fredericton via Queenstown, Gagetown and Oromocto.
To gauge FABAC member's initial response to the proposal, please contact John NOW at tel: 449-0562 or email: jmbowles @nb.sympatico.ca. Final confirmation would be required by noon Wednesday, August 11th so as to give notice to Tony Rickett and the Evandale Inn.
This would be a rain or shine event. It is designed to encourage many more FABAC members to participate than in previous club tours.
