Old Business :  President updated the past months events 1)  Club attended AJM classic car show on July 24 where cars came and went during the day.  There was the old Customs Building where car bodies were in assembly stages, two big paint booths.  Some are for customers and others are their own as they sell completed cars, over 300 cars attended this event.

2)  This past Saturday July 31 was the Amherst Armoury Tour, an event that had to be cancelled in 2020 due to covid. Seven cars left Moncton meeting up with one from Sackville and another from Amherst at the NB NS border. At the Military museum we learned lots about past wars and our history and had a great tour with Ray Coulson, curator who is very knowledgeable.  We then had breakfast/lunch at a local restaurant.  We then met up with another NS car and went on to Joggins fossil cliffs, and toured their exhibit.  We came back to Amherst though an alternate route, very scenic drive.  Thanks to Rick and Helen Estabrooks for a great day had by all.
