FABAC September 18th Meeting Report

  •   Sam Snead's restaurant at Kingswood golf course was the site of our September dinner-meeting. As always, Gary took the floor and opened with a big note of thanks to Robert & Rita for the gathering at their cottage on the lake.  This was followed by a report on the BPR (Big Pig Roast) which somehow turned into a long discussion on the possibility of turning it into an annual event incorporating a gathering of British cars from other clubs.  To this end, anyone who wishes to be involved in the planning is requested to gather at the Haughty Hound Pub (Jim W's basement) on Thursday, Oct 3rd at 7:30 PM.
  •   Jim B will lay out a fall leaf run to St. George over the next while.
  •   Kelvin proposed a casino night at his place on November 23rd. and hot on his heels Jim W set a date of Dec. 7th for our Christmas party.
  •   Our next meeting (November 20th) will be at McInnis Landing.
  •   In what has become a tradition, John B quizzed the gathering with car related questions.  Stephen W surprised the club with his knowledge of old cars, particularly Bricklins.  A somewhat heated discussion took place over various aspects of the company and car production.  We pulled the two apart and most of us headed into town for ice cream.  It was still warm enough to leave tops down and we all got to enjoy the drive home under a magnificent harvest moon.

Are there no plans for an October 16th meeting?

Bob must have been some forward planning as the next meeting will be Wed Oct 16 at McGinnis Landing. I've arranged for a discount for any meal not on special. The usual times apply, 5:30pm meet and greet and 6pm for supper.

Thanks

Gary

Can't make the meeting at Jim W's on the 3rd, will be in Montreal. However, I support the concept and am willing to lend a hand to organize.
