Ferrari Club of America - New England Region WELCOME TO AUTUMN! Did you have enough fun with your Ferrari this summer? Well, summer�s not over yet! Your New England Region has a very busy autumn planned, with activities scheduled for the next four weekends in a row! We�ll start our splendid fall fun on this upcoming Sunday (9/14) with a tour of the Bill Jennings Collection - oh, that sounds too formal; come up to bucolic Wolfeboro, NH, on Lake Winnipesaukee for a scenic drive, good grub, and a chance to clamber around all-around-nice-guy Bill's nifty cars and other toys, organized by Christian Scott. This is a rare opportunity to see a collection of classic and modern machinery, including a 250 GT PF Cabriolet, 360 GT, 333 SP, F50 and, yes, an Enzo Ferrari!. The following weekend WILL be just a touch more formal; it's the Ferrari Cup at Myopia Polo in Hamilton, MA, sponsored by Ferrari & Maserati of New England. Then we'll be taking a fast drive through Central Mass., ending at Ferrari and Maserati of New England for lunch, a tech session and the viewing of the USGP. And the fourth weekend of Ferrari merriment will be our annual Vermont Ferrari Festival! IF YOU'RE NOT ALREADY A MEMBER OF THE FCA, THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO JOIN! ===================================== Garage Tour at Bill Jennings � Sunday, September 14th, Wolfeboro, NH, 10:30 am -2:30 pm.

The first match was played here in 1888 on the oldest existing polo field in the United States. This is the 115th season of Myopia Polo, 1888-2003, and will offer spectators some of the finest competitive polo in the country." Polo starts at 3pm, and we�ll arrive around 2:30pm.
