The August monthly meeting was held in Dianne Earl's (my wife) garden with a supper of seafood chowder, burgers, and brauts. Lots of salads and deserts were brought along offering a fine feast in the traditional FABAC style.
- The business items where somewhat short this month. We thanked the Bowles for last weekend's run to Tony Rickett's place and discussed upcoming events.
- It looks like Rexton won't be heavily attended by the club this year. John Bowles will be heading up early to attend the rally. It does however, look like we'll have over a dozen cars going to Stowe Vermont this fall in September. If anyone is on the fence and might want to attend you should send your application in soon as they have a September 5th cutoff and the registration must be MAILED in. There are still hotels available in the area.
- We had a brief discussion about whether we should acknowledge the passing off members relatives on the website. There seems to be some strong feelings on this and I'd suggest we discuss this on the club's forum. The forum is little used and would make the perfect place to air opinions.
- It gave me great pleasure to present Joe Hines with a tacky Jaguar phone. I didn't want to be the only one who proudly displays a tasteless item in his home. There are now three of them in the club and yes, I keep watching for them to come up on eBay.
- Our next meeting in September will be at the pub in Harvey.
- Dianne and I thank everyone who enjoyed our hospitality and hope you had a good time. We were delighted to have the club and now that most folks know where we live we hope you take the time to drop in. There is always beer in the brewery and the teapot is usually hot.
- Bob E.

I am still overwhelmed at the whole scene from this wonderful evening. Our hosts Dianne and Bob were the definition of the "perfect hosts". Their generosity and the evidence of so much work in preparation were outstanding. The food was excellent, and there seemed to be no end of it. (Anyone still hungry should contact the Earls—they should still have a little of that great chowder left.) The garden blew me away—I kept looking for a fully-employed groundskeeper but there wasn't one. Dianne has more than a green thumb — hard work on a daily basis. Bob allowed us to visit his "man-cave" and garage. Both should be on "What to see in NB". What a happy crowd we were to be spoiled so much. "Thank you" just does not seem to be enough, but anyway, a HUGE THANK YOU to Dianne and Bob.
WOW!!!! What a great time, everything was wonderful!
David has said it all!
Many thanks to Bob and Dianne.

Ditto with al the other comments. You folks set a really high standard for anyone aspiring to host a club event. Our apologies for leaving early and not assisting in clean up. Cheers, Larry and Sandi
P.S. Bob- I forgot to give you the old, beat up cloth Co-op bag that I brought to give you to replace the old, beat up cloth Co-op you tore up and used to adminster first aid to me. I'll give it to you next time I see you. Larry
