Club Drive to Newboro, 10 June (11 June rain date)
Lynda-Marie, otherwise known as David Huddleson’s better half, has organized a lovely drive that starts with a delicious meeting place for coffee and pastries at Cobbs in Barrhaven, and continues on to the Stirling Lodge in Newboro for lunch (menu here). The Lodge has put together a special menu for us. Bob Thomas has also mapped out the proposed route. Participants will receive the final driving route once they confirm their interest in participating. If you are interested please confirm with Lynda (Trifilette@hotmail.com) as she needs to finalized numbers for lunch with the lodge.
Proposed schedule: 8:45 am meet at Cobbs (#301B-3161 Strandherd Crossing, Nepean, Ontario K2J 5N1). Please note that they do not have coffee, they specialize in FRESH baked goods. However, in the same parking lot you will find a Starbucks. Just like at the Christmas Party, Lynda am trying to get some freebie from them; 9:30 am leave to drive to Newboro (approx. 2 hours); 12:00 pm lunch at Stirling Lodge eating out on the lawn is wonderful at this time of year. Joining us for lunch at the Stirling Lodge is not mandatory, however, bring a lunch because there is very little open in this town. While in Newboro there are a few things you must see and they are all in walking distance from Stirling Lodge. There is the Newboro locks where you can watch the boats, and there is the amazing Kilborn’s store. Plan to spend at least and hour in it. It has something for everyone; 3:00 pm planned departure; however, those who want to stay longer, or leaver earlier can do so.

ABCD Confirmed for 15 July
Rather than selecting any one marque or model, the show is celebrating 75 years since the 1948 London Motor Show, which launched a new era in British automotive engineering and manufacturing. Show will be held at Clarke Fields Park, 93 Houlahan Street, Ottawa, Ontario from 10 am to 4 pm. For more information, please consult the ABCD website and event flyer.
OVTC Tool Library
Gary Kristjansson has volunteered to take the lead on this project. Gary would like to hear from all club members about their tool needs, and the tool inventories they might be willing to share with other OVTC members. Is there a specific tool that you might need on an occasional basis that is a bit too expensive to purchase, or do you have some tools you would be willing to lend to other club members? If you have ideas about how this service to members could be set up and managed, Gary would love to hear from you. Please contact Gary at tools@ovtc.net.
