This month's meeting was held at the Moonlight Restaurant in Dumfries. The drive from Fredericton to the restaurant was lead by duo Jim B and Bob L after Gary A relinquished the lead car role due being delayed. Several other cars joined the main group en route and yet more cars (Hoffmans and McNallys) met us at the restaurant for a total turn out of 12 cars and 22 members. Another great turn out! The weather could not have been more accommodating with beautiful blue skies, warm weather and beautiful scenery along the mighty Saint John River valley. Spectacular really!
Jim Bleakney conducted a very well organized meeting with the following items being discussed:
- Members Pat and Bob Sweet are leaving us and moving to Bathurst. We will all miss them and thank both for their contributions to the club. Bob you set the bar for taking minutes which we all appreciated. Bathurst is not that far away so we will hope you maintain your membership and join us in our travels when you can. You will always be welcome here.
- Bob and Ann McNally brought out their recently restored 1980 Triumph Spitfire...a wonderful original car. We look forward to have them join us in all our endeavors.
- Currie and Sherry are hosting the Austin Healey Club of Southern Ontario (AHCSO) at their place on Monday Jul 26. The event starts at about 4pm but all welcome as you can arrive. Folks are asked to bring a dish and munchies for later. Heather Dunphy will organize the contributions so look for a posted note soon.
- Windsor Trip is this weekend. A number of members have already left. Another group will be leaving Friday morning. For anyone wanting to leave Friday morning with that group please contract Jim Bleakney.
- Rexton Trip is the weekend following. A number of members are going and staying overnight. At the meeting there appeared to be some interest from 4-5 members who were thinking of driving up for the day and returning. More on that later.
- Dwight B is interested in knowing of anyone attending the Rexton event who might have a extra seat for an additional passenger. Please contact him.
- Organizers of the Charity Show and Shine in Support of the Oromocto Legion send us a letter asking of our interest to participate and asked us to suggest a date. There is club interest but we would leave it to the organizers for setting the specific date. Their proposal for sometime in September where we do not have a lot planned is probably a good time frame but we would need to know soon.
- Next meeting will be held on Wed Aug 18 at an oriental restaurant in Oromocto. Netti will organize it for us.
Acting Scribe,
Gary A

Thanks for the kind comments. We are indeed leaving the area but there is a minor correction to the destination. We are heading not to Bathurst but to Cape Traverse, PEI. We are looking forward to our new adventure but will surely miss all you folks and the wonderful runs and events in which we got to participate. Perhaps we can join you in some future run. We will continue to monitor with interest the goings-on of the club. Best wishes for many miles of top-down driving in those LBCs. It has been fun!!
Bob and Pat
