The Diamond House Restaurant in Oromocto again sagged under the collective weight of many dozen FABACians. We pretty much took the place over (again) and all enjoyed their fare. We greeted long time FABACians John DeWitt and Gary Hetherington who have been scarce the last while.
John Bowles detailed the plans for this Sunday's visit to Tony Rickett's winery and asks anyone who's attending to please email him (jmbowles@nb.sympatico.ca). Timings will be published here soon.
The highlight of the evening (at least for me) was Curry Alders' tale of how he came into possession of a Jaguar dealer's sign from the dealership in Halifax that had gone out of business in the 60s. It was almost a metre square and made from thick glass with chrome fittings and frame. There were many oohs and aahs from the gang as it was unveiled.
In between more tales of his squirrel trapping exploits, Jim Bleakney announced plans for our annual fall visit to the Gyles Restaurant, five miles south of Woodstock. This is always popular and is usually our big last run of the season.
Curry talked about the trip to the Magdalen Islands and the car show on PEI. It seems that the show has been resurrected at Cymbria and has been well received with over 80 cars this year.
The Nielsens displayed (proudly!) their finally-functioning Morgan. The new engine sounds great and by all accounts runs well.
Our next meeting will take place at McGinnis landing October 17th.
