July 3 – 8, 2011   Austin-Healey Club of America Conclave at Colorado Springs, CO.
Why not make 2011 a double header?  After attending Rendezvous in Vancouver
let’s go on to Conclave in Colorado Springs. Picture the Conclave car show at
the Air Force Academy on the 4th of July!  Dwight Jones of the Cascade Club has developed information on shipping Healeys from Vancouver to Colorado Springs via Passport Transport (see Gary Anderson’s article on page 33 in the October-November issue of Austin Healey Magazine).  The cost is not cheap but you have to figure that it’s going to cost $200.00 a day to drive anyway and it will be a brutal three day drive to get there on July 3.  And there are some pretty cheap airfares to be had to Denver.  Shipping cost is $5500.00 each way for a full load of 6 cars.  That’s $916.67 per car each way.  If the group wants to do a more leisurely drive back west the cost is only one way.  Cars would be delivered back to Vancouver.

If interested, please contact Dwight Jones at:  dwightbj8@msn.com<mailto:dwightbj8@msn.com> or 509-545-9735.

AHCO Business
Saturday morning January 8, 2011 the AHCO Coard of Directors met for a productive meeting.  The purpose of the meeting was to work through a number of “beginning of the year” topics, eg., the 2011 Activities Calendar,  discuss projects and Board member assignments, etc.  The meeting generated a couple of jobs for which the Board of Directors seeks member assistance:

Sunshine Person -  The Board was seeking a volunteer to take on this job for the 2011 calendar year.

I am pleased to annouce that Judy Carter has volunteered to becomeour new Sunshine Lady.  Thank you, Judy.

Jan  Whittlesey has filled the Sunshine Lady position for quite awhile and decided to step down.   Thank you, Jan.  We have appreciated your help.

The two All British Field Meet (ABFM) positions are also appointed.  Dick Lenahan has agreed to continue with the job as the event Registrar for 2011.  We are asking for a member to step up and take the other position, i.e., the vote counter/scorer of the Popular Car Show ballots on the Saturday of ABFM weekend.  The job entails recording the votes on the Excel spreadsheets developed by Jeff Mach and reporting the results to the ABFM leaders.  Thanks to Jeff I now have the Excel program and Jeff has offered to train the appointee.

Please contact any one of the Board members to volunteer to take on these jobs.
