St. George trip

Great day for driving, great company and wonderful conversation. The reason there are no photographs—too busy talking with everyone. I would like to thank Gary Arsenault, Gary Hetherington, Chris Daigle and Ernst for coming along on the first road trip of the year. There were 2 MGBs, 1Triumph, 1 BMW and a Mazda.

St. George Fish 'n' Chips run this Saturday

Ernst and I are thinking of driving to St. George for a feed of fish and chips on Saturday, the 25th, at Birch Grove Restaurant. I have booked 14 seats at the restaurant. Please let me know if you are interested in going so I can let the restaurant know how many seats will actually be required. 

Meeting in Harvey at the Irving Gas bar at 10:45am—leaving by 11am drive route 127 to Saint Andrews. Then route 1 over to St. George to the Birch Grove restaurant for lunch at around 1pm. After having lunch, drive to St. Andrews, then on to St. Stephen, stopping at Tim’s for a break. Then, back on route 3 to Fredericton. 

Cheers John 

April FABAC Meeting/Eating Report

    The Hilltop (an increasingly popular spot with us) was the scene of much merriment as spring did it best to (finally) break through.

• The agenda was short as Gary wasn't there and I'd forgotten what he'd asked me to talk about. Oh well, that'll give him more to chat about next month at the Carnation Restaurant in Oromocto.
• Ernst reminded everyone of our 25th anniversary blow-out on June the 7th at Oakland Farm (http://www.oaklandfarmandlodge.com/location) in New Maryland.  It will be potluck and someone(?) has volunteered to coordinate the food.  As always, there will be updates.
• The lovely and talented JD  (Dewitt, not Irving) has a run to the Birches in St George on the 24th of April.  There will be updates here as well.
• Spinney's, just outside of St. Martins has just opened for the season and I'll be leading a run there in early May.  Yup, there will also be an update soon.
• A mystery proposal for our next meeting was made for the Carnation Restaurant in Oromocto. There was no other suggestion so the Carnation it is.  Please note that those of us who pass that intersection often—oh yes—it's just Dianne & I isn't it—should let everyone else know that the intersection of Waasis and Restigouche is once again mostly blocked as 'they' do something expensive with the bridge over the highway.  Folks will have to access the Day's Inn either by getting off the Trans Canada and hanging a left off the off ramp, or going through the Gateway complex.  Don't say I didn't warn you.
