Report on the FABAC February Meeting

     Nestled snugly between the two almost record breaking snowfalls of 2017, we took a break from shovels and snowblowers to relax at Brewbaker's.

     Gary started the evening by ingratiating himself to the club for some reason.  He didn't really have to since he knows we all like him.   He started by welcoming back Dianne E. who hasn't been able to attend for several months.  Everyone liked her new growth of hair.  Gary then called for trip suggestions for the upcoming year and was met with, surprise, many of them.
  • an early spring run to break in Ralph's new garage.  Better stock up on beer Ralph. 
  • a trip to the Reversing Falls to insect the new diner and not fall off the also new skywalk. 
  • Minister's Island (pay attention to the tides). 
  • The Stanley Fair. 
  • John D. spoke of his planned trip to the US on June 22nd to 26th.  The itinerary features many car-friendly stops.  More information and an itinerary will be posted. 
  • *Windsor*  will be held the 14th to 16th of July.  Last year saw a sizable contingent from here including several non LBC's.  It was record breaking fun. 
  • A suggestion was made to try for another race day at Shubenacadie. 
  • Johanna offered to arrange the maple syrup run early in the spring. 
  • Phil O. suggested monthly breakfast outings. 
  • We'll try for another go cart day in Moncton 
  • Kelvin, sporting a gaudy flowered tie, reminded all of the St George's Day potluck at his garage on the 22nd of April.
  • The membership drive was discussed and Bob E., resplendent in a signature Jaguar tie, displayed some hand out brochures and cards.  I'll make some changes and invite folks to make further recommendations. It was suggested that we mail these to wayward members as a "We miss you." gesture.
    The next meeting will be at the Vault on Queen St.  In my opinion they serve the best burgers in Freddy and will be there with a healthy appetite.
     Aaaaand the evening ended with a quiz...of course it did.  There where lots of prizes this time and many folks went home happy.
