The March meeting was held at the home of Jeanne and John Skaras in Prosper, Texas. The Skarases really raised the bar with the excellent food that was provided for the meeting. The delicious Greek cuisine was outstanding. Huge thanks to Jeanne and a few of her neighbors for putting on such an incredible spread. Club President Richard Bowman kicked off the club business and announcements part of the meeting a few minutes early so that some members could ride home and avoid the incoming storms, and others could go catch more of the Moto GP races. Richard was using the new mini-PA system kindly donated to the club by Mark Dunn.

We had one guest, Cary, who is signing up to join the club. The club was reminded that raffle bike is a beautiful 2009 Moto Guzzi Norge. It was on display at the British Emporium event held in Grapevine two weeks back. Tickets have started selling. They are available for purchase on the club website as well as in person at upcoming events. For those who may not know yet, the raffle bike was very generously donated in memory of Arlene Kobos, a cherished wife, friend and club member.

Richard reminded us that the annual Hill Country ride is quickly approaching (April 10,11,12,13). Penny Martin gave us an update on bookings, and only one room was still available as of the meeting at the Historic Leaky Inn. (NOTE – as of April 2, there are now two rooms available. Contact Penny at pcd1161@aol.com if interested).

Next up was the topic of LOP cabins (the East Texas Rallye held in the fall). We did the drawing for the remaining cabins. In order they were:
#1 Jamie Farquhar-Rizzo
#2 Ed Sass
#3 John Cartwright
#4 Christian Davidson
Everyone who asked for a cabin got selected!

New projects mentioned were a 1974 TY80 purchased from Southwest Super Bikes that was part of a big collection that is currently for sale. Also mentioned was a 1971 BSA Thunderbolt. In other business it was shared that Jason Small has set up his paint shop at Big D Cycle and that Paul Dalton is also available for paint work.
