Yankee Swap Details

To participate bring a wrapped gift in the $10-$15 range. Gifts can be:
• a humorous joke gift (or not)
• bizarre (or not)
• useful (or not)
• automotive (or not)
• THAT holiday present you received and wondered “what were they thinking… ”
• Use your imagination and make this the best Yankee Swap Ever! Let’s have some fun with this gang.
Participation is voluntary – it’s fun to watch even if you’re not participating, however the more the merrier! Gifts and participation can be per person or per couple. Just remember that to select a gift you must bring one. Most couples opt to have each person bring a gift so each can participate. Here’s how our Yankee Swap at the holiday party will work:
1. Each person or couple that brought a wrapped present gets to draw a number.
2. The person with #1 selects and then opens a present.
3. The person with the next highest number (2 in this case) chooses and opens a present. They then decide whether they want to keep the present they just opened or swap it for any other opened present.
4. Lather, rinse, repeat step 3 until all numbers have been used and all presents have been opened.
5. Finally, the person who drew #1 gets to swap the present they are holding for any other present.
After this, consenting adults are free to swap their present with anyone else.
Some Yankee Swap etiquette “rules”:
• people choosing their present are not allowed to fold, spindle, mutilate, or otherwise fondle the presents before choosing one.
• participants cannot hide their opened presents they want to keep. (to prevent others from swapping with them)

Only Miatas will be parked on the lawn and displayed during our car day.

The event is open to all Miata owners or anyone interested in the Miata / MX-5 – you do not need to be a Mass Miata Club member to attend or to display your Miata.
This is not a concourse event, just the selection of Peoples Choice Miatas by attendees and the public. It’s intended as a day to have fun, show off your Miata and visit with friends. Blankets, lawn chairs, umbrellas, and picnic baskets are welcome, and food will also be available for purchase. Visit the museum, view the Boston skyline, and pick your favorite Miata.
There will be trophies and door prizes.

* Miata Parts Swap *
Again we will be having a Miata Parts Swap Event where you can bring your misc Miata parts to offer for swap or sale with other Miata owners, but with some changes in the rules.
Swap time noon to 1:00 PM

Parts will be displayed at designate location. You must register your name, phone, etc. on the day of the show to be part of the swap. Bring items you want to sell or swap, and come look-see what other people have that you might be interested in
No whole engines, transmissions, or other large or heavy items that are difficult to carry and/or not easy to move around – let’s keep it reasonable, please…
As a seller you must be in attendance during the swap to answer buyer questions and execute your transaction(s) – no leaving notes on items for people to contact you later
After the swap you must take home with you all items you brought that didn’t sell, along with any items you bought or swapped for.

The MOT is okay with us doing this as long as there are no abandoned parts that someone else (they) would need to dispose of.
The MOT and Mass Miata Club assume no liability for any damages to your parts and assumes no responsibility to resolve any disputes that might arise between buyers and sellers.

Additional details:

The entry fee is Cash or Check $20 for car, driver, and one passenger/guest. Spectator admission is $10 for adults and $5 for children and senior citizens. All admissions include entry to both the Larz Anderson Auto Museum and the lawn/picnic grounds

MYSTERY TRIP

MEET: Ted’s Package Store 47 Worcester Road (Route 20), Charlton, MA 01508
MEETING TIME: 10:00 AM
A GPS or other navigational device that can be set to non-highway is very helpful. If you are using a phone application, you must have a navigator. This can also be driven with a good set of maps.
The first cars will leave Ted’s at 10:15 AM with the other groups leaving at 10 minute intervals.
Cars will be traveling in small groups of 3 or 4 cars. You will be given turn by turn directions with a number of questions to be answered. All the answers are visible from your car. Groups can work together on the answers. This allows people without a passenger to participate safely.
Each group will select a leader. Leaders can be changed at each stop or at other intervals as determined by the group.
Each section of the ride (start to lunch and lunch to ice cream) should be less than 2 hours so no pit stops have been designated. Pit stops may be taken if needed and at a good location found.
We will be having lunch at Ronnie’s Seafood in Charlton, MA. Groups will eat as they arrive and leave when their entire group is done. Do not wait for everyone to arrive. There is quite a bit of parking but it might get very tight if we are all there together.
The trip will end with ice cream of course!
We expect to be through with ice cream by 3:30
RSVP by August 3rd so I know how many copies of directions I will need to bring.

Back by popular demand, the pre-hibernation run will be the same as last year.
We are all fortunate enough to have one or more of our fun little cars and I don’t know about you, but every time I am able to go on a ride with the top down it brings a big smile to my face. Let’s put that same smile on the face of a needy child with a new toy. Bring one or more new and unwrapped toy which will be donated to the toy for tots program.
I spoke with Roger at Wrights Farm and all the toys he collected from his staff plus the toys we brought last year added up to over 300 toys. Imagine all the kids smiling faces. I can.

Come join us on our last scheduled ride of the year before the gloomy days of winter arrive. Being the last ride of the season it tends to be very popular and we usually split into two groups or maybe even three this year. Last year I had 69 people and 39 cars. This year we could easily need to split into four groups.
As usual imaginative head wear is encouraged.

We will meet at 8:30 AM at the Home Depot Sutton Ave. Oxford, MA. Drivers meet at 8:45 AM with the first group departing at 9:00 AM. Time may change depending on how many cars we have.
This will be a ride over twisty back roads of Southern Central Mass and Northern Rhode Island. Our trip will take us through the towns of Sutton, Whitinsville, Douglas, Connecticut and into Rhode Island for our lunch at Wright’s Chicken Farm for an all you can eat family style chicken dinner, fresh baked rolls, salad, pasta with sauce, home style French fries, coffee, tea and soda for $21.50 per person including tax and tip. Cash bar is available. Lunch reservations are for NOON. Park in back for the carriage room.

Email Brenda to let her know you are coming bgauvin@charter.net
MONEY WILL BE COLLECTED AT THE DRIVERS MEET, PLEASE BRING EXACT CHANGE OF $21.50 PER PERSON, I will not have change.

After lunch we will drive on more scenic and twisty back roads to Christopher’s Homemade ice cream in Millbury, MA for our ice cream stop.

Yankee Swap Details

To participate bring a wrapped gift in the $10-$15 range. Gifts can be:
• a humorous joke gift (or not)
• bizarre (or not)
• useful (or not)
• automotive (or not)
• THAT holiday present you received and wondered “what were they thinking… ”
• Use your imagination and make this the best Yankee Swap Ever! Let’s have some fun with this gang.
Participation is voluntary – it’s fun to watch even if you’re not participating, however the more the merrier! Gifts and participation can be per person or per couple. Just remember that to select a gift you must bring one. Most couples opt to have each person bring a gift so each can participate. Here’s how our Yankee Swap at the holiday party will work:
1. Each person or couple that brought a wrapped present gets to draw a number.
2. The person with #1 selects and then opens a present.
3. The person with the next highest number (2 in this case) chooses and opens a present. They then decide whether they want to keep the present they just opened or swap it for any other opened present.
4. Lather, rinse, repeat step 3 until all numbers have been used and all presents have been opened.
5. Finally, the person who drew #1 gets to swap the present they are holding for any other present.
After this, consenting adults are free to swap their present with anyone else.
Some Yankee Swap etiquette “rules”:
• people choosing their present are not allowed to fold, spindle, mutilate, or otherwise fondle the presents before choosing one.
• participants cannot hide their opened presents they want to keep. (to prevent others from swapping with them)

Brunch and a Show February 24th, 2019 RSVP by February 14th, 2019
2019-02-24 12:00 - 17:00
Brunch and a Show February 24

Dreading the post-holiday winter blahs? Here’s an event that, while admittedly a bit self serving, should be fun, and a great way to connect with all your Miata Club friends. I’m playing cello in the pit orchestra of the Sudbury Savoyard’s production of the Gilbert and Sullivan show Yeoman of the Guard. “Set in the Tower of London in the days of Henry VIII, the show has elements of comedy, tragedy, intimacy and pageantry. Gilbert’s plot combines a myriad of twists and turns with a host of believable and sympathetic characters; Sullivan contributed one of his grandest scores.” To get an advance flavor of the music, check out recordings on Youtube from the famous D’Oyly Carte Opera Company: Act One, Act Two .
I’d like to invite club members to join Paul and me at noon on Sun., Feb. 24 for the jazz brunch at Bullfinch’s Restaurant, 730 Boston Post Road in Sudbury. The performers are the Cindy Lou trio. Following brunch we’ll drive about five miles to Lincoln-Sudbury High School, where the 2:00 p.m. show will be held. Tickets are $25/$22 seniors and can be purchased on line.
If you’d like to come, please book your tickets individually and then e-mail me, Celia Raia, at c_raia@yahoo.com, by Feb. 14 so I can get a head count for brunch.
We hope to see you there!

After our sampling is complete, we will continue our drive for another 1 ½ hour to Tree House Brewing Company, in Charlton, MA. This will be a very busy place with long lines on a Saturday. There are no flights at the Tree House Brewery. Tickets are purchased for $8.56 each and are redeemed for one 16 oz. pour or two 8 oz. pours at the pour station. This will make it easy to share with someone if 16oz. is more than you want. This brewery is located on a hill with chairs available and entertainment at times. There are also Food Trucks providing an assortment of snacks and meals. Feel free to bring a blanket to sit on in case the chairs are all taken and you wish to stay for a while.
My plans are to relax and enjoy this venue. This venue is on Rte 20 with the Mass Pike, rte. 290, Rte. 190 in close proximity for your easy ride home.

Then a short drive to the Essex Steam train for a two and half hour combined train and scenic boat trip. Afterwards dinner for those interested.

Gillette Castle State Park straddles the towns of East Haddam and Lyme, Connecticut in the United States, sitting high above the Connecticut River. The castle was originally a private residence commissioned and designed by William Gillette, an American actor who is most famous for his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes on stage. Gillette lived at this estate from 1919–1937.[2] The estate was purchased by the state of Connecticut in 1943 for a price of $5,000.

About the Train
Essex Steam Train & Riverboat’s 2 1/2-hour journey begins at the historic 1892 Essex Station for a 12-mile, narrated round-trip into the heart of the unspoiled Connecticut River Valley. The steam locomotive pulls vintage coaches through the quintessential New England towns of Deep River and Chester. A natural highlight is the undeveloped Selden Neck State Park, accessible only by boat. Essex Steam Train offers unique access to several coves and preserves, immersing passengers in an on-board eco-excursion. The train travels near the tidal wetlands of Pratt Cove and Chester Creek — bountiful, natural habitats for birds including Cormorants, Ducks, Swans, Greenland Geese, Blue Heron, Egrets, and Red-winged Blackbirds. In February and March, the majestic Bald Eagle is the star of the show when it migrates south to the Connecticut River Valley from Canada and Maine.

About the Riverboat
At Deep River Landing, passengers are escorted onto the Becky Thatcher riverboat for a 11/4– hour cruise along the Connecticut River. The visual serenity of the river valley is on full display from Becky‘s multiple decks. The deep water, coves, inlets, marshes, wildlife, and rocky shoreline are, all at once, simply breathtaking!

Just as impressive are the historic sites, including Gillette Castle, Goodspeed Opera House and the Haddam Swing Bridge. Upon Becky‘s return to Deep River Landing, the steam train welcomes passengers for the return trip back to Essex.
After the train/boat trip dinner at Lenny and Joe’s Fish Tail in Westbrook Ct.
Costs:
Gillette Castle tour: $6.00 per person
Ferry Boat: $6.00 per vehicle
Train/Boat trip: We have a group rate of $24.00 per person providing we get twenty people. The fee will be collected at the driver’s meeting, please bring exact change.
Please contact Les Barton by Wednesday June 12th if you plan on joining us for the day.
