Gary opened the meeting by thanking Kelvin for the St George's day rally and gathering. Upcoming events where then listed as follows:
- June 20th, the Foreign Auto Club in Moncton will host a show in Dieppe. We have attended this event a couple of times and it's always enjoyable.
- Jim B has arranged a run to Lorneville this Sunday for a lobster lunch near Saint John. It will be followed by an audience with his Holiness, the Ralph of Holyoke.
- Details will be posted and we hope to be joined by the Saint John gang (are ya listening guys?)
- Dwight offered to set up a run to St. Andrews and include a visit to the Huntsman Marine Museum. This is another outing that was a big hit last year.
- Herb mentioned a few details regarding the late summer visit to Shubenacadie race track in Nova Scotia.
- Kelvin then took the floor and recounted the recent epic road trip to Carlisle Pennsylvania. The extended version is elsewhere on this blog but Kelvin's Readers Digest condensed version elicited numerous chuckles from the gathering. This is one of those events that will live on in FABAC lore, much like the first trip to Grand Manan.
- After dinner, Johanna mentioned her planned participation in the upcoming Tour of Hope for cancer fundraiser. She plans to cycle 650 Km in three days as part of the tour.
- Stephen Wheatley discussed his plans for a three day trip to Grand Manan around the 21st of June.
- Robert and Rita announced a visit to their cottage on Sunday, the 16th of August.
The evening ended with the traditional 'John's Quiz'. Either we're getting smarter or the questions are getting easier as the quiz was won (by Joe) with a score of 17 out of 20.

his Holiness, the Ralph of Holyoke
bestows blessings and clean oil on his lowly subjects.
Although the write-up by Bob E. does utilize a reasonable mangling of Ralph's nickname/title, I prefer the original devised by Jim B. as it cleverly replaces a single letter in Holyoke — an 'n' instead of the 'k'. So, it is good to see that Ralph the Holyone has bestowed his blessings on all of us. Let us humbly await his next oration.
Aaaaa....clever. I didn't notice that. Noted for future reference.
