Report on October Meeting

   How many ways can you say ‘deluge’?   I don’t think that I’ve used ‘inundation of Biblical proportions’ yet so let’s stick with that.  Driving up the 102 towards Nackawic, we encountered a rainfall so hard it obscured vision more than a few dozen metres ahead and we all had to slow down for the few minutes that it lasted.
     And there, dry and topless (their MGB, not them) sat the Bleakneys under an overpass waiting for us.  The rain let up as we passed them and they joined the queue of cars heading north. 
    The guests of honour, Lise and Alex were already at the Acorn Restaurant and we greeted them warmly.  During the last meeting we’d decided to take the October meeting to the Hoffmans to wish them a happy birthday.

• John Bowles gave a report on his trip to Stowe in the company of the BATANS group.  He covered 1500 miles and joined 650 other LBCs in Stowe, Vermont.
• Gary gave a report on the Rockwood car show in Saint John.

   New stuff....

• Our traditional Octoberfest run to Adolph’s Bavarian Restaurant near Sussex will be on the 25th of this month.  This will be a co-run with the Moncton crowd and will mark the becoming-an-anual-traditional exchange of the MG mud flaps.
• The now traditional ‘Steam-n’Sterling’ show at Sandra and Larry’s is upcoming (information is already posted here) and it’s requested that folks RSVP them by the 24th.
• The clubs Festive Season party will be held at McGinnis’s Landing on the 16th of December.  In a move to quiet the incessant whining of certain club members, the Yankee auction will once again appear.
• Our next meeting will be held at Ringo’s restaurant on the corner of Prospect and Smythe where we can all watch the mayhem on Freddy’s new ‘circle-O-death’.
• And of course, we finished the evening with a very traditional quiz from John B.  He’s now branching out into Canadian history, making the questions harder but more attainable by non-car fans.
