Call to Order: by President Mark Schneider at 1:45 p.m. at Yaquina Bay Restaurant, 325 Airport Road, Albany, OR.
The meeting was started by George Koeber who introduced new member George Baker. George Baker said he purchased a 1955 Austin Healey BN1 on September 1, 2009 and was in the process of restoring it. George has been an avid American Car restorer and this is his first venture into the world of Austin Healeys.
Mark then thanked Charlie Frazer, Jim Averill, George Koeber and John Carter for arranging today’s great meeting at The Brass Ring Carousel in Downtown Albany. Read more »
The Greatest Show on British Wheels began in 1985 as a Show ‘n Shine event held in the parking lot of MCL Motor Cars in Vancouver. That first show hosted some 35 cars, after which it was decided that a new venue would attract a larger crowd. The event was moved to its current outstanding location at VanDusen Botanical Garden at 37th and Oak Street. Since those early days the event has grown to become the largest of its kind in Canada and the Pacific Northwest, displaying some 637 vehicles, and with more than 5,000 enthusiasts in attendance.
The 2010 Silver Anniversary event will prove to be a very special celebration, with many staging improvements and some additional attractions. Here is what is included so far:
Feb. 13, 2010 - The City of Albany, OR is restoring a turn-of-the-century carousel. The restorers are extending a great deal of effort in this process.

The Healey Club members are to meet at this address at 11:00 AM Saturday, February 13, 2010. There will be a nominal entrance fee.
