John D. and I have decided to cancel this weekends 4 Ferry Run due to concerns with growing Covid numbers and the possibility of rain.
I mentioned in my River Valley Tour posting that I learned of this book that Jim has been keeping from before he and Ellie had even joined the club. Phenominal!

I have taken Carol's idea and expanded it to a four ferry run before they pull one of them from service.
The Saint John members may wish to leave at Evandale to drive back to Saint John or continue on to go to town then take the route to Saint John through Cambridge Narrows. Ralph will be making the reservations for lunch so could you please let us know as soon as possible if you’re going to be going. As he is going to reserve a function room at the golf club. Also, Ralph highly recommends the restaurant.
Cheers

Carolyn and I wish to thank the 15 FABACians who joined us on our little "Too-nice-a-Day-to-Stay-Home" run up to Hartland. I appreciated John D's input to help me decide on the route (and arrange for perfect weather) and Henning's suggestion to eat at the Waterfront Pub in Nackawic (Excellent food and service). We even tried Pat S's suggestion to get ice cream at YUMYUM's on the way home but it was closed. :-(
The highlight of the trip was that Ellie and Jim joined us! For any of you who don't know them, Jim planned and led countless wonderful runs over the two decades. Maybe I shouldn't say 'countless' because Jim actually has counted them! For the first time, Jim showed me a little book where he had logged every FABAC trip that he was on from when he first joined in the early days of our club! Details of how many vehicles, distance travelled, the weather, and much more. I'll have to make a copy of a sample page and share it with the club. Absolutely a phenomenal record of activities! Thank you, Jim.
Cheers
David
Perfect days are all but impossible to nail down, but Carolyn and I propose we not let this Sunday's perfect weather slip by us. Those who are disappointed that the McAdam run had to be cancelled might consider joining us for "The River Valley Run". We all know Dan's frustration in trying to coordinate things when the weather forecasts keep changing. Everyone appreciates his efforts in attempting to get the event to work. Don't give up!
All FABGIJACians (Corrected) welcome!
Cheers
Carolyn and David
The differing weather forecasts for this weekend show that it will be unsettled with a good possibility of rain. Considering the money commitment that the McAdam people must make, I consider it best to cancel now. This is too bad as Susan and I and you all were looking forward to it.

It promises to be a fine weather day for a meeting on Thursday, so we're going to grab it while we can! Warm up your Little British Cars (and whatever!)
Where? Carleton Park
When? Thursday September 16th 5:30pm
Why? COVID concerns re indoor gatherings and weather concerns re patio dining.
By the way, Carolyn discovered shortly after our last meeting that MOCO Mactaquac has changed its hours and are now closed Wednesdays. So, she reserved space for us at Wolastoq Wharf restaurant but now cancelled for COVID reasons. You might consider them for your meal on Thursday because they do takeout.
See you Thursday!
