Report on FABAC August meeting

 A whole bunch of folks braved thunderstorms to journey to one of our favourite haunts, the Moonlight Inn up near Dumfries. Most everybody took their boring DDs, so afraid of the rain were they. A few intrepid enthusiasts drove their LBCs, a couple with the tops down. One of us got wet but enjoyed the experience nonetheless. After all, isn't the reason we own convertible LBCs is to allow us to experience and become part of the environment we're traveling through rather than being insulated from it? (Having gotten that out of my system, I promise to now shut up).

Clearly, everyone was hungry as the business part didn't take place until folks had chowed down. Gary (somehow) got everyone's attention and the first order of business was a couple of reports on recent shows.

• Bob and Curry argued their respective views on the best way to travel to Windsor, but agreed that the weekend was fine no matter how one got there. 
• There was a report on the Rexton show which led to a brief discussion on show attendance in general. Most folks agree that we might want to discuss this at greater length at a later date. 
• Curry mentioned the imminent arrival of a pre-war car club touring our area this weekend and staying at the Silverwood Motel. 
• It was also mentioned that the PEI show is coming up and that a few folks would be attending. 
• Kelvin got on his knees and unabashedly begged, ( "Oh puh-leeeze help me!") for help this Saturday with moving his garage contents to his new house. A few folks reluctantly agreed to help move his stuff. But there better be food and beer! 
• The next meeting will be held at the Chinese restaurant in Oromocto. Details will follow.
