From FABAC Archives: April 26th, 2001!!

Notes submitted by Gary Arsenault for the meeting held on April 26th, 2001:

Three LBC's showed up. The keeners were:
Jim Woodford - 74 MGB
Bob Constable - 81 Spitfire
Gary Wood - 77 MGB

We agreed to get some things moving on the touring front:
The current tour schedule:

• May 20/01- St Andrews day trip - John Dewitt and Mike Hines volunteered to be tour directors. Please call them for details.
  John - 357-5820
  Mike - 472-8064
• May 24/01 @7 pm - Lunar Rogue* meeting to discuss how St Andrews tour went and to discuss next event. If Lunar Rogue is unavailable then Beaverbrook or Sheraton would be next on list. John Dewitt agreed to be point person on this.
• June ????/01 - Arnold Boer agreed to organize a day tour.
• July 13/01 - PEI British Car Day. Jim Woodford and Mark Jones obtained loads of information on the event. This was passed out to everyone. A reminder for anyone attending to book their accomodations right away...or be prepared to bring a tent.... which is OK too! Jim Woodford and Gary Arsenault volunteered to organize a local contingent to convey our way over there. Stay tuned.
  Jim - 363-4697
  Gary - 454-4546

Other issues:

• There was some discussion on showing cars at the local Fton car shows. Jim McKeown is going to talk to those folks to see if there was any interest in having our group attend.
• Gary Hetherington offered to have folks visit him at his large open area in Rusagonis. Sounds like a good sport for a get together.
• Gary Arsenault is planning on having the group over for a barbeque sometime this summer.
• We need a name! A brief discussion on a name for the group was had but no name came forward. It was agreed to bring final suggestions to the next meeting.
• Everyone at this meeting was given a current list of folks who have attended the last meeting.
• There was some discussions and interest in rallying. Hopefully those interested will put something together to see this happen. Sounds like a lot of fun.
• David Nielsen is developing a web page for us and has that done a remarkable job at putting our information together. Everyone recognized the need for a common communications tool to help us get our message out or in as the case may be. This page will be instrumental in getting our group up and rolling and then more important..... sustaining it. Thank-you David from all of us. This is much appreciated and welcomed!

* It was decided later that we should consider choosing a meeting place that allows us to have a view of the parking lot for security and peace-of-mind reasons. Quite a valuable collection of cars when we are all together.
