FABAC January Meeting Notes by Joe H.

The group met on the 20th of January in one of the private rooms at Issacs Way restaurant, about twenty were in attendance.   A discussion was had about events that we are planning for the warmer times. 
  • I spoke about the BMF in Windsor and that I and at least a couple of others are planning to stay overnight at Ralph's B&B on the Thursday night before the weekend event, get the ferry in the morning and cross to NS.  We are doing this because the ferry leaves quite early in the morning now.  The upside of this is a nice evening in Saint John on Thursday and then plenty of time for a nice drive through the valley to Windsor on Friday.  Barring of course any clutch slave cylinder issues or other mechanical difficulties, or wrong turns and getting lost issues from past trips.   We would love others to join us on this trip.  
  • A lobster run was talked about for the spring. Jim volunteering to find one that would be suitable.   
  • The possibility of a run to the sugar bush as in years past in the spring was also discussed but nothing firmed up
  • Kelvin advised that he will be organizing a St. Georges day event again, with the possibility of a short Rally to start the event.  It will be pot luck as in the past.   
  • John volunteered to organize the Kingston Peninsula  run once again. 
  • Joanna and Bruce advised that the Harvey Pub has been renovated and would be a great spot for a run in the summer.  They will advise further in the future.  
  • There was a discussion about the Christmas dinner and the consensus was that it was a good one and removed the stress on any of the club members from organizing this big event.  
  • John advised the group before his quiz that he would be going in the hospital for bypass surgery in the near future and the group wished him will with that.  He then conducted his quiz, with Kelvin and I given a -4 point handicap.  We again managed to do well and were advised that our handicap is increased to -5 the next time. 
  • Next Meeting February 17th at Sam Snead's (Kingswood Golf Club)
Cheers
Joe H.
