February 26, 2005 !!!

This will be our third annual APBA Vintage Winter Gathering, held again at the home of  - Tom & Jacq Bertolini.
 

Last year's Winter Gathering attracted over 60 hard-core addicts, we all had a great time and everyone behaved - thank you.

We had lots of food and drink, and many arrived with copies of Phil Kunz's new book - Prop Riders. What a sight - everyone was autographing - and the vintage banter and videos continued well into the wee hours.

 

Schedule for this year's APBA Vintage Winter Gathering at Bertolini's:
Saturday afternoon & evening - Party Time - vintage banter and videos ???!!!
Sunday morning - Vintage breakfast at Izzy's (9 AM)

 

The dress code of course will be casual, jeans are just fine. There is no cost, but a donation jar will be placed at the door.
