?So I have to apologize to the Californians and lawyers amongst us, who
believe that the NOBCC is a club, with a legal identity.
I will plan to go and have a beer again at Hopmonk sometime at leisure . I
will ask my dear wife to drive me home as she did last week when we had had
several tasters of wine, and then Dean offered me a 1/4 glass of OSH to
sample. I handed her the keys.
Now the issue is , she has never, and I suspect will never drive the MGA so
we will go sometime in our Honda Civic LX 2000.
At least the original design for the Civic was the BMC Austin Allegro or
something in the early 70's !!
That way those who worry about these things can sleep easy.
See you all at Infineon in April when we can sign our forms and "not worry"
Cheers, Tim

Subject: [Nobbc] Old Speckled Hen ride?
Great ride by Dawson last week-end. I have to apologize that we ended up
ahead of the caravan ( needed gas in Healdsburg) and sat at a separate
table.
During the week I visited HOPMONK TAVERN in Sonoma, and discovered from the
owner Dean Biersch (think co-founder of Gordon Biersch Brewing Co) that they
have OSH on draught ! He gave me a sample in a to-go glass, and an
invitation
to bring the NOBCC back there sometime. See www.hopmonk.com, there is
another
location in Sebastopol which I have to check out.
I would like to organize something, perhaps in May. Ron mentioned Mt Veeder
Road whilst we were talking b should be no Napa cops there? There seems to
be a movement for a picnic, and that could not be at Hopmonk. So is the
group
interested in a ride to a b pubb -like destination for a lunch and a pint in
the British tradition, sometime soon?.
If so, I will arrange a date and organize for a b car-showb reservation in
Hopmonkbs parking lot. Dean says they have hosted the Porsche club before
(known as slumming it by real Brit car fans).
Meanwhile I have to make another quick trip to the UK late March so will be
forced to drink real ale again......oh well.
See you all again soon .
Tim
1958 MGA (one of at least 4 red-uns in the club now, it seems)
