5/10/16 Meeting @ Brick House - Minutes
Given the original weather predictions, turnout was very good! 17 were in attendance (with 3 newish guys) and 6 roadsters and a new Shelby Mustang were driven. As of Monday, weather was forecasted to be pretty bad and earlier on Tuesday it fulfilled that prediction with some tremendous Thunder Storms earlier in the day. However, after lunch the rain subsided and the sun came out, but the meeting place was already decided at the Brick House. A few members managed to drive, but were dispersed throughout the Brick House parking lot. Meeting indoors was also problematic; noise, seating, sun in one whole side of the table’s eyes, and the humidity was uncomfortable. A quick meeting was conducted, then Tim led the charge to SONIC for ice cream desserts (good call!)
Btw, food, beverages, and service were good as always at the Brick House.
