Who we are

On February 22, 2001, a group of British car enthusiasts met at the Odell Park lodge to discuss the future of an organized group of some sort. Gary Arsenault, who was instrumental in bringing us together, led the discussion which made clear there was plenty of interest in moving ahead with plans. The consensus seemed to be that this would be a fun club, the emphasis on fun with the focus on touring and occasionally getting together to discuss British cars in some non-formal environment - members' garages, Odell park, or even an occasional pub meet.

Octoberfest Run - Sunday, November 1st

Dinner details:

1130 Knightville Road
Menu https://oldbavarian.ca/menu/
They now accept modern payment methods.

Please let me (Rob E.) know soonest if you plan on attending.

Run details:

Gather at Ramada Inn parking lot (north side) on Sunday, Nov 1st at 11:15, rain or ...it's gonna rain of course so there's no contingency plan for sunshine.

The route:

Depart the parking lot at 11:15 sharp along the scenic 105. A short detour along the boring Trans Canada to avoid the partially demolished bridge. 

Regain the 105 after Jemseg and turn left onto the 695 heading towards Cambridge Narrows. 

After Crossing the bridge at Cambridge Narrows we turn left onto the lovely and relaxing 710. 

The 710 makes a right turn somewhere after someplace named 'Cody's'. 

Join up with the straight and boring (but thankfully short) highway 10. 

Just before Sussex, turn left onto Roachville Rd.  I don't remember if there's much of a sign there but if we/you miss it, you/we can pick it up soon after at the interchange. 

Follow Roachville Rd a while until you see the right hand turn onto Knightville Rd....which is on the right. At some point the restaurant will appear on the right.

Maps or GPSs are well advised. I no longer get lost and lead folks astray, but we may become separated. We hope to get there before 1:00PM.

Some of our friends from the Moncton group will be meeting us there.

Report on October 21st Meeting

October's meeting/dinner (and eating?) was at one of our favourite haunts, Dimitri's Greek Restaurant in the Tannery. The tie challenge saw a new contestant sporting a Loony Tunes tie. Take that Joe! 

Gary started off the festivities with a quick recap of JD's (Dewitt, not Irving) recent series of outings. There was a car show at the Frex which several members attended. There was also one in Nackawic which we also attended. 

UPCOMING EVENTS: 
The Christmas party will be on the 9th of December so as not to interfere with anyone's family plans. Three spots will be checked, the Fredericton Inn, the Beaverbrook and the Palete. 

Next weekend on the 1st of November is our annual Octoberfest outing to Adolph's restaurant in Knightville. A small group from the old Moncton club will meet us there. Please let me (Rob E.) know soonest if you're attending so that I can let the restaurant know. 

Our next meeting will be at the good old Hilltop on the 18th of November. Your faithful servant, Rob E.

Sunday October 17 Report - New Photos Added!

Ernst, Cliff and I met at the Irving station in New, Maryland. After driving down Route 101 into Saint John and then over to  St Martin’s. It was a great day for driving on the trail. We decided to have lunch at Adair‘s  Restaurant. Then drove back to Sussex, and onto Fredericton . It was a great day. I would like to thank Cliff and Ernst joining me on this journey.

Sunday road trip on the fun trail

I’m thinking of doing a run on Sunday. Meeting at the Irving station in New Maryland for 10 AM, leaving at 10:30, driving to Fredericton Junction on Rte 101s then on to Westfield through Grand Bay, take the old road into Saint John, drive through Saint John over to Loch Lomond Rte 111 to Saint Martins. Stopping at Spinney’s for lunch. After lunch, drive through the park to Sussex, stop in Sussex for a break, then head back through Route 10 over the Cambridge Narrow Rte 710, then back to Jemseg Rte 695 to Rte 105 to Fredericton.
