MEMBERSHIP:
Peter Heading noted that all invoices for 2013 year membership have been distributed and should be paid as soon as
possible to avoid potential late fees! This is particularly important where members have Club Registration – failing to
renew by end December could mean that their cars are un registered!
SOCIAL:
Paul McPherson delivered the following Social Roundup:
AUSTIN HEALEY DISPLAY DAY – 64 big Healeys, nine Sprites and a good crowd, through Arthur’s “Regalia Doors”. A
quality display of our finest cars – and, an intriguing Healey “Ratrod” piloted by a grinning, Peter Rowland – it certainly
drew the crowds! Our indefatigable Regalia Officer triumphed again with good sales! Many thanks to all members,
AHSDC members and the Healey Factory team with eight Healeys, for making the effort in contributing to the success of
the day. Gordon’s pics are on www.healeyvic.com.au
Victorian / South Australian Mini Rally – Port Fairy, last weekend – the SA organizing team of Paul & Barb Bradley

social calendar, early in the new year.
