This one from the Sweets in PEI
Hi David
I came across this one of a kind lambswool rug in a little shop called Cottage Industry on Grafton Street in downtown Charlottetown and thought it might be of interest to someone in the club. It had a price tag of only $995. Everyone should have one!!!
Regards,
Pat

Christmas Car Art
Hi Dave:
Thought I’d share this card along with a drawing from an internet acquaintance. George is a longtime MG aficionado (fifty years!), an accomplished artist who is in his eighties and still travels regularly in his LBCs, recently to Stowe. He owns an MG TD, a TF and a 1966 B.

MGB Internals And Much More At Gaydon
The Heritage Motor Centre at Gaydon, Warwickshire, UK houses the world’s greatest collection of British cars. It also is from where heritage certificates for British classic cars are issued. The collection of more than 180 different makes and models ranks alongside the Goodwood Revival as a “must-see” attraction for all FABACians visiting the UK. I know, i’ve been to both. For Gaydon, figure on a day-long visit and take in the Land Rover Demonstration Drive along steep gullies, across streams and through deep, deep mud! For more information go online to “gaydon heritage centre”.

Another Official Report!
We'll always have Paris......
...and those damn MG mudflaps.
After going missing for a couple of years, they've returned home to haunt the recipients. Nettie and Rob now HAVE to return next year in time to give them away again. It's kinda like insurance to keep them close to home.
The Christmas party was another rousing success as Loraine and Jim opened their home to us. The dining room table threatened to collapse under the weight of the food and I'm not the only one who lost dental work from laughing so hard during the Yankee auction.
We had some guests this year in the form of Brigitte Vautour and her fiance Denis who traveled from Rexton to present Curry with a pile of wood in the form of trophies for the Healey.
Gary gave a surprisingly long synopsis of the past year (our tenth) and we were all surprised by the number of runs we'd held. There was also some talk of a few special runs for next year including a visit to the Magdalen Islands.
Many folks commented that this was the best party yet(?!) which means that the bar has risen even higher.
The next meeting will be a movie night at Kelvin's place on the 21st (a Saturday) with Kelvin providing a Lancashire hotpot. We'll be watching the original 'Italian Job'.

Official Report on the FABAC Christmas Party
Simply put this had to be one of our best Christmas parties we've had. Our hosts Jim and Lorraine opened up their home to us and provided us with a warm and festive welcome for our party .......and what a party it was!
The house and surroundings were decorated beautifully and provided a truly warm and festive environment. Jim and Lorraine were the ultimate hosts making everyone feel comfortable and welcome. Lorraine even entertained us while we ate with her wonderful musical abilities on the piano. Jim too ensured everyone had a dish of "Spotted Dick" to add to the festive time of year. This was the first time I experienced "Spotted Dick" which tasted far better then it's strange name imparts.
The pot luck dinner was delicious in every way with all the various foods and desserts. There was just too many delicious items to even focus on one. It was all delicious.

FABAC Christmas Party Remindeers
Update from David: DARN! I've been reading all the comments about what everyone is bringing for the potluck and now I am REALLY upset that I can't be there! Any chance for a "left-overs" party?! ;-)
Just a reminder to mark next Saturday Dec 10 as the FABAC annual Christmas dinner at Jim and Lorraine Woodfords. As you know Jim and Lorraine have hosted this event for us many times in the past and we know how much of a wonderful time we had. I expect this Christmas party to be one of the best. Here’s why.
In terms of the “fixings” Lorraine has been decorating for the last 2 weeks and we all know what a wonderful warm, welcoming and festive environment she creates for us. Jim too has also been using his creative skills to come up with some interesting festive events that I’m sure will arose interest and entertainment for those attending…… once we see what he has in store. One of the things I’m allowed to share with everyone is that he has ordered a case of “Spotted Dick” for everyone to experience! Now don’t be worried this is not “one of those personal communicable diseases” that we read about but rather a very traditional English seasonal dessert that I understand is very popular in Britain at this time of year. You’ve really got to admire the Brits for their titling and Jim for his festive sense of giving.
Another very important and exciting event will be some major presentations. One of the primary organizers from the Rexton British car show will be making special presentations to our group. These are the awards that our club members and the club itself won at this summer's Rexton car show. Can you imagine they are coming here, to our Christmas party, to make these presentations. How amazing is that! This speaks to the dedication that these folks have in making their car show, a New Brunswick British car show, one to be part of, to be proud of and one not to miss.
We will also be having the annual “Yankee Swap” event with a $10.00 limit per present. This will be voluntary participation activity. Find a gift that is humorous, interesting or wonderful in some way. Wrap it with no name, bring it and participate in one of the events that always guarantees to entertain, excite and bring laughter. It’s always been one of the many highlights at our Christmas gatherings. Dianne Earl who always brings a special presence to the event has once again agreed to host it for us.
This is a BYOB, pot luck event so please bring your contribution.
The fun starts at 5pm. Jim and Lorraine live at 159 Mactaquac Heights. (Turn right off the Mactaquac Dam if coming from Fredericton, and take the first left as you go up the hill.)
Oh yes, our hosts have requested we let them know how many will be attending .Please email the site or me directly to confirm your attendance as well as what you will be bringing in terms of your pot luck contribution.
Looking forward to seeing you all there,
Gary

Here is a link to Holden Vintage and Classic, no need to store your LBC all winter when you can purchase a set of these snow chains for your car and be driving all year around, or Bob Earl could probably make you a set from material purchased from Home Hardware for a fraction off the cost, hope all our club members have a great Christmas and find a set of snow chains in their stocking.
