Hello Members,

All right - after many days of working with Jerry at JNW Engine and 
Machine, we've come up with a date and time that works for him, and 
should work pretty well for all who would like to attend. Please 
understand that our options for Jerry's time were extremely limited, so 
it was either this date and time, or probably not until next year, given 
the approaching holidays.

Please note that this might be on the same day as our second monthly 
drive (did we make them both on Saturdays now?), so if it is, there will 
be time you all to meet up for a short drive if the weather cooperates. 
If the weather is good but you won't be going on the drive, or if the 
drive is on Sunday, please do bring your British car to the shop. I'll 
be getting snacks and preparing with Jerry, so won't join you for a 
drive. You'll all need to be at the shop by 2pm - the session will start 
without any stragglers.

Where:
JNW Engine & Machine
Jerry White
1000 Piner Road, Unit G
Santa Rosa, CA 95403
http://www.jnweng.com/home

Please DO NOT call Jerry for details or directions - he doesn't need the 
extra distractions. Please direct all questions to me.

Date and Time:
Saturday, Oct. 25, 2pm

Basic Agenda:
Meet at the shop at 2pm. Snacks and some soft drinks will be set out for 
you. Any special dietary or liquid refreshments you need, please supply 
your own.
Jerry will give us a sequential tour of the shop, with a few examples of 
machine work in progress on various equipment. We'll probably see the 
block boring machine in action, the Serti valve seat and guide cutter 
(very accurate, very cool), and other interesting operations.
Questions are welcome. This will be a loose and comfortable session, 
which is just how we in the NOBBC like it, so please make time to come.
I expect that we'll be there for 2 hours, but it may run longer for 
those who have the time.

PLEASE RESPOND TO ME BY OCTOBER 21 TO CONFIRM YOUR ATTENDANCE. I need to 
know the number of members attending so I can purchase the correct 
amount of food and refreshments.

Cost:  Nominal - should be $4-6 maximum, which will just cover food, 
refreshments, and some beer for Jerry.

I was originally going to extend this invitation to the Alfa and Lotus 
clubs, but decided to keep it local and in the NOBBC family, so let's 
put in a good showing!

Cheers,
Greg
