The dinner/meeting was boisterous last night with folks greeting each other enthusiastically. It seems to have been a long and cold month and all the familiar faces were a welcome sight. Gary opened the evening by thanking Anne and John Crumley (in absentia) for the Christmas party. About this time dinners started to arrive and he was forced back into his seat. Service at Luna Pizza is fast.
While we ate, Paul handed out a spreadsheet he'd populated with the years that various cars were introduced. The aim was to see what cars were 'born' the same time you were. He's still working on it and will post it to the site upon completion.
After most folks had eaten, Gary opened the business portion again and we all eagerly voted to return to Luna Pizza next month. This place is clearly going to be a favourite. Its only drawback is size. If we have more than 35 people show up it will be tight.
--There was considerable interest in an overnight trip to Grand Manan Island. Joanna and Bruce
volunteered to arrange this one.
--The Windsor show is on for the 10th of July.
--Herb is planning a track day at Atlantic Motorsport Park in Shubenacadie, NS.
--Kelvin called for more picnics like the one a couple of years ago at the Kiwanas Park downriver.
--Bob (me) will liaise with the Moncton Club on some runs.
--Kelvin is throwing his annual St Georges day bash on the 25th of April at his place in Noonan.
Of immediate interest is a work party that will take place at Kelvins this Sunday (25th) at noon.
He needs help getting a car into the garage to facilitate the replacement of some broken springs.
During the after diner chit-chat I learned that several folks are working on their cars in preparation for spring. It seems that this year was particularly hard on them with several broken gizmos, parts and thing-a-ma-bobs. There are also rumours of a few folks wishing to travel to the massive car parts flea market in Carlisle, Pennsylvania in May. This might be a great way to break in my virgin credit card.
The meeting broke up all too early (as always) with folks agreeing that Luna Pizza has great food for a very reasonable price with fast service.
See you at Kelvin's this Sunday and bring work gloves.

Bob, you should have "protection" for your virgin credit card. How about a condom? :-)

I have all I need, it's called considerable self control.
Oh, and Joanna, the word i was looking for was 'bottleneck'.

Hi gang,
What time Saturday at Kelvin's, and civic number to find his place?
Thanks,
Terry
Sorry, should read more carefully! Noon Sunday!
Terry
Kelvins address is
1335 ROUTE 10
As its a noon meet will have beer , coffee ,and a slice of pizza for those that want it.
Basically the front suspension has collapsed and we will have to free off the handbreak to get it to move.

To all those that volanteered their services to move the Smart car into the garage today, I think that the overnight snowfall ontop of the under lying ice may make it too slippery to think about pushing it into the garage. Perhaps we could try again next Sunday.
Kelvin
Sounds like an idea Kelvin. I was just going to fire up my snowblower and can see that it'll be a few hours worth of work.

K I'm afraid I'll be out next sunday, I'll be driving back from NS.
