I hope everyone is enjoying the last day of fall.
What a great day for a ride. I decided to drive to Saint Andrews andI’m glad I did.

FABAC Christmas/Holiday Party - Wednesday Dec 8/2021
We finally received sufficient numbers, close to the 25 requirement, to make our reservations for our Christmas/Holiday party at the Fredericton Motor Inn. I confirmed our reservations earlier this week. We are still committed to the 25 and anticipate we will get there with hopeful improvements in the Covid numbers. That all being said, should Covid worsen to the point where we have to cancel, which we will, we can do so without charges. If you remember we had to do this last year.
In the most recent years we decided not to have the Yankee Swap. In its place we decided to pick a charity that we as a club could contribute to. Someone in the group would volunteer to recommend a charity and would coordinate its follow up. We are looking for a volunteer to do that in advance of the party so the donations can be made at that time.
In terms of the current Covid requirements all participants are required to have had their second vaccination. David N. has agreed to verify this for the attending members and will follow up prior to the party. All the required Covid protocols will be in place at the restaurant so please bring and wear your mask where required. In terms of the buffet, we will line up at the buffet line and be served.
I'm looking forward to seeing all those who have signed up for the party and to hopefully others who are waiting to go but waiting for an anticipated Covid improvement.
For party details see the previous note posted on Oct.7th.
Thanks
Gary
A Morgan enjoying the autumn colours
This 1 minute 44 second video is the work of my talented nephew, Ian Varty. We went out September 18th with my 1968 +4 SuperSport Morgan (one of 104 ever made), a couple of cameras and a drone. We know you’ll enjoy the views.

Thanks John.
Thanks John,
Thank you for leading yet another tour this Sunday. Beth and I were both glad to be out for the drive (we think it might be the last for this season)
There was a good showing of cars but what stood out to us were these three cars; John and Ian in John’s GT Spitfire, Phil in his V8 MGB and Andy in his 1960 Morgan. They were all with tops down! Cool Drivers!
Sorry I did not get pics of all of those cars but here is Andy at a stop we made on the Fundy Trail.
Beth took this pic of the Morgan as we were driving along and I think it is worth sharing.
Regards,
Chris

Good news re our FALL RUN this Sunday October 24th
John DeW. has found us a restaurant at which to eat lunch around 12:30. It's the Timberland Motel and Restaurant on Rte 114. He has made reservations for us and has checked that all staff is fully vacinated.
Join us for what is likely the final run of the season. We are REQUIRED to be fully vacinated in order to enter the restaurant and must wear masks entering and until seated.
Hope to see you Sunday at the Burton courthouse at 9:30 a.m.–leaving at 10:00.

FABAC October Meeting Minutes
Our Oct meeting was done last evening via Zoom and hosted by Dan N. Thanks Dan.
Also, our thanks to:
- Phil for organizing the 2 week get-togethers that are so popular and now a major part of our club.
- to Carol and John for organizing 2 events for us, the River Run event being cancelled and the Crabbe Mountain Run which was the first for our club and one we hope to do again next year.
- to Dan and Susan for the McAdam Run planning which was cancelled due weather.
- to John D. for the 4 Ferry Run that had to be cancelled due increasing Covid concerns and weather.
- to David and Carolyn for a successful River Valley Run.
UPDATE - FABAC Christmas/Holiday Party scheduled for Wednesday Dec 8, Fredericton Motor Inn at 5:30. Details were posted earlier.
- We still have NOT reached the 25 number to confirm our reservation. Please do so now if you plan to attend. Once again we can and will cancel if need be due Covid considerations.
- Gary to confirm whether we will be served at our tables or banquet style, where we line up and are served.
- It is a provincial requirement to have proof of double Covid vaccinations PRIOR to attending this banquet.
- David N. has agreed to ensure this takes place and will update us with the procedure.
From Phil O. - The much sought after Shop Tour with Gerald Elliot is scheduled for Tuesday Nov 9 at 9am. It will be a Zoom tour with Gerald at his facilities. Dan N. has agreed to host the Zoom call with details to be posted later.
From John D. - Please see the posted details of the Fall Drive through to Sussex, Alma and then onto the spectacular Fall drive through the Fundy Parkway. This is scheduled for this Sunday Oct 24th. Please confirm your attendance.
Next Meeting (Wed Nov 17th): Knowing full well the current serious Covid issues here in NB. However, also hoping the numbers drop while maintaining strict vaccination policies leads us to believe we may be able to have our next meeting in person. With that in mind, we decided to have our next meeting at Sam Sneads. David N. to organize and confirm.
If conditions are such that we feel it is not safe for our club to do an in person meeting we will do a Zoom meeting.
I think that covers it.
Best,
Gary
