Minutes of November 23, 2004
TC Motoring Guild General Meeting

Our usual coffee makers were not present so Harvey gave it a stab. After about a half hour Phil decided it was not working so tried to see what he could do. Coffee finally was available.

Ernie Page gets the long distance award with his visit from Scotland. Here he talks to Joyce about motorcycles.

Larry Haile, Tony Henkels and David Coleman look at the mail bag before the meeting begins.

Traffic was terrible on this night for those coming from the South. People that did make it were a little road worn and we hope not too many gave up and turned away. Our meeting began at 8:08 pm and we promptly went to the treasurers report. Joyce reported that we had $6,686 however of that only $2,518 was available and not budgeted for other expenses. She also reported we had 53 signed up for the Holiday Party as of that night and there was still time reserve a spot.
 
Minutes of the October meeting were in the newsletter for all to read so were not read at the meeting. No corrections were noted.
 
Misc. mail was read by Gene.
 
We recognized Ernie Page from Scotland as being present and credit him with the Long Distance Award for the night.
 
Programs - Tonight Pete has a presentation on the celebration of the Collier Cup race of 50 years ago in the streets of Watkins Glenn which he attended with the NE. Following will be some pictures from the Al Moss HCT this last October. Our December meeting is our Annual Meeting and Holiday Party on December 11.
 
Gene mentioned that he was considering a trip up the Angeles Crest Hwy on Sunday (Nov 28). Asked if anyone was interested in tagging along. Also could work in the Jumping Festival (horse jumping) and Car Show. Talk to him at break if your are interested.

David asked who we should consider for the hard luck award this year. It is given to someone who has experienced a major set back with their TC. Only breakdown on a Guild event we could remember was Mel Appell's spark plug wire falling off. Hardly catastrophic. We joked that we should give it to Jay Call for ending up in the hospital on the Desert, Route 66 Tour this year. As no major TC breakdowns were recalled we decided to not award it this year.

There was no other business and we adjourned the meeting at 8:25 to let Pete set up his presentation.
