P O N Y E X P R E S S Page 2 MUSTANGS AT CHUY S At our January meeting Emmitt Hawks Jr. invited our club to join his Tidewater Mustang Club for a field trip/cruise to Carolina Wild Horse Open House in Elizabeth City. Bob was the only member fortunate enough to be able to attend. He was very impressed with their facility and urges anyone needing major work done for their Mustang or any other vehicle to consider taking your car to them to do your work. It has been our custom to attend a Christmas Show in Myrtle Beach every other year, 2018 is the year for a show. We will be investigating what shows are available and bringing it to the club for our November meeting. If you have not paid your dues to renew your membership for 2018 please send them to Kurt Miller. We do have a few members who have not renewed and we don t want anyone to miss out on all our news and activities. In 2017 we had a number or fun activities outside of our meeting times. If you know of something that you think the club would enjoy, or if there is someplace that makes for a perfect cruise let one of our activity committee members know. All ideas are welcome and we are looking forward to new adventures this year. Our March Meeting is scheduled for Kickback Jack s in Wilmington, March 11. This is the first day of Daylight Saving Time, so remember to set your clock ahead one hour on Saturday night. It is also the beginning of our meeting time being 4:00 PM. Bob adjourned our meeting.
