FABAC September Meeting report from Bob E.

  With the summer doldrums hanging heavy in the air, a boisterous group of FABACians played catch up with each other over the events of the past month. Gary eventually quieted everyone down (barely) and conducted what passes for business with FABAC.

• He first introduced Mark Bond, a BATANian who was visiting from Nova Scotia on his way through to the British field meet in Stowe Vermont in the company of Joe.
• Trisha and Barry, visitors from the island, where introduced by the Crumley's.
• Pat Peterson introduced his newly restored MGB to the gathering and promised to contribute to the trail of oil which follows us wherever we go.
• Gary (again) thanked Rita & Robert for their cottage visit. 
• Regrets where expressed over the cancellation of the AMP visit due to weather.
• The Carter House run of last weekend was a huge success with eleven cars taking part. 
• Robert took the floor and thanked Joe for the F1 race day at his garage.  After lambasting Joe for the bare spot on his wall, he presented Joe with a large print of a technical drawing of a 2CV engine.
• Larry offered to host another garage visit to his place where we might play with his collection of miniature engines.  The date has yet to be determined.
• There will be a car show at Rockwood Park in St Johns on the 26th/27th of Sept. Exact timings will be published here.
• Jim B will be scheduling an Octoberfest visit to Adolph's Restaurant near Sussex for the last weekend in October.  We will take the opportunity to request the company of the Moncton Foreign Car Club again so that we might perform the annual ceremonial exchange of the MGB mud flaps.
• It was proposed that we schedule a trip to Owl's Head, Maine to visit the museum for next year.
• The next meeting will be in Nackawic on the 14th of Oct with a backup of McGinnis's Landing the following week.
• The Christmas party will take place at McGinnis's Landing on the 16th of December. The date has yet to be confirmed.

   We wished Mark and Joe a succesful and uneventful trip to Stowe as they drove off into the setting sun.  For once, we didn't go for ice cream.
