Report on last night's "Casino" Party

 Despite a minor deluge (it wasn't really raining THAT hard), a small group of us gathered in Kelvin's garage to eat.  We didn't play with any of the casino gear as we wound up watching vintage racing movies and trying to decide what Kelvin should do with the race car that mostly sits in the garage. We made a pretty good dent in the Shepard's pie too.

Change of Venue for December meeting

 Sandi called the King Street Ale House to make a reservation for the December meeting.  Unfortunately, they are unable to accommodate us.  She did make a reservation at the Ale House for the January meeting on January 15, 2014.  We now have a reservation at Dimitri’s for our December meeting on December 18.  Hope it was ok that we made all these “command decisions”.  

Cheers, 

Sandi and Larry

Casino Night - THIS Wednesday, November 27th

Wednesday 27th Nov is "Casino night" at the Noonan Entertainment Centre, in other words, my house or should I say garage at 1335 Rte. 10 Noonan. There should be Roulette, Black Jack, and Poker. Joe has kindly offered to teach us the ins and outs of poker and will then proceed to "fleece" us all of our chips. There is a prize for the one who makes the most and also for the one who looses his shirt.
Shepherd Pie supper is provided + dessert and coffee but bring your own beverage.

Meet around 6pm

Report on the November Meeting

Brewbakers, the four-star restaurant in downtown Fredericton was the venue for this month’s FABAC dinner meeting. Crisp tablecloths and napkins set off  the elegant setting of the restaurant’s private room where 28 FABACians enjoyed good food and fellowship, talked about their cars and discussed plans for future FABAC events. With Jim B in “the chair” acting for an absent Gary A., first up was Kelvin P. who confirmed arrangements for a “Casino Night” on Wednesday November 27th at his home in Noonen (see separate post for details). The December 7th Xmas Party at the Crumleys was discussed and a list was circulated confirming what food members would bring to the party (see separate post for details) And finally, the new King Street Ale House was chosen for the next meeting on December 18th with Sandi B. agreeing to make the arrangements.

During the evening, David N. congratulated Sandi on winning the prestigious 2013 Alfred Kinsey Award presented by the Society for Scientific Study of Sexuality for her extensive work as a leading researcher on human sexuality. Everyone joined in the applause. Later, John B. presented another 20 question quiz about cars, motoring and motorsport. (“When was MG Cars established? Answer: 1929). The winner was Joe H. who won a recent copy of Classic and Sports Cars magazine as a prize.

Addendum:
And we must not forget Al Thomas for arranging the meeting place, including a FABAC logo at the entrance door and a fine Triumph banner at the end of the room. Also, he arranged for one lucky winner to get their meal free—compliments of the restaurant. The lucky winner was Dr. John. A good evening.

Wed 20th Nov @ 5:30 pm @ Brewbakers on King Street

British Motoring Festival Feedback/Suggestions

     I recently received a note from Steve Wright requesting suggestions as to how to improve next years British Motoring Festival in Windsor. I told him I would solicit comments from our members and forward them on. He needs these for a planning meeting scheduled for Nov 16/13.  If you have any comments please send  those to me soon so I can forward them to him.
  Thanks
