Wanted: 2010 All British Field Meet Organizing Committee Representative

I’m seeking a Club member to take over from me as one of the AHCO’s two representatives on the ABFM organizing committee for the 2010 meet.  I’m in my third year in the job and, as much as I’ve enjoyed it, I need to move on and plan to resign after we complete this year’s meet.

The ABFM organizing committee is a great group of people to work with (you likely already know many of them).  Our active participation on the committee and in the meet is important because proceeds from the ABFM provide a significant amount of revenue to our Club.  As many of you already know, we are responsible for the timely counting of the People’s Choice ballots.  This position on the ABFM committee is responsible for organizing and carrying out that job.  I have begun writing up a guide to the job and, if you volunteer now, you can learn from me during this year’s meet (sorry, we’re all out of Ginsu knife sets).  The job itself requires attending committee meetings about once a month between April and August, about two days of preparation before the ABFM, and most all day Saturday at the ABFM with a team of about 20 other Club volunteers.  Contact me at (503) 364-6789 or mach@toast.net if you would like to inquire further, ask questions, or apply for the job.

Thanks

Wanted: New Home for the Club Library

After serving as its caretaker for the past few years, I’m now seeking a new home for the Club”s library of printed material.  The library consists of four bookcases of print copies of our Healey Northwest newsletters, as well as newsletters from many other Austin Healy clubs throughout the US and around the world going back to the 1970s.  If you are interested in providing a home for this valuable and interesting Club asset, please contact me at (503) 364-6789 or mach@toast.net.  I’ll be glad to help with the move.
