* Botham Vintage Car Show - As is the case every year, the Botham weekend & car show was great time. 9 couples traveled to Dodgeville & Barneveld for the weekend festivities.

* 2011 Fall Touring Weekend - Door County - With some of the best weather we have had in many years, the Fall Touring Weekend was a great time. 8 couples and a single spent the weekend touring, eating, drinking, walking and enjoying each others company. See the article attached for more details. Article (09-29-11)
*2011 Chili Blastoff - It was another very successful and fun day at Road America. We had 16 Healeys and 40 some participants. Check out the attached article by Kent Wittmann. Article (10-05-11)
* 2011 Fall Tour & Rallye - On October 1st, the club had their fall tour through the Southern Kettle Moraine. Instead of the typical fall tour, the Ricchio's planned a fantastic Picture Rallye. Check out the details compliments of Alan & Bonnie Wasserman. Article , Photo Album (10-07-11)

Fleischmann BJ8 Restoration -
Fred and Meg Fleischmann are no strangers to the retoration of English sportscars. Their latest project is a 1967 BJ8 that was in tough shape. Others restorations include a Triumph Spitfire, 1963 Austin Healey 3000 and a 1972 E-Type Jaguar. Fred and Meg have taken the time to write several article chronicling their work to-date, complete with photos. They will also provide subsequent articles as work progresses. Thanks Fred & Meg. Part 1 Article , Part 2 Article , Additional Photos (Updated 8-16-11)
A Healey Story - As many of you know, Mike and Sue Swanger (I think mainly Mike with the blessing of Sue) have been working on the restoration of a 1954 Austin Healey for a number of years. Mike is performing a complete frame-off restoration, and is doing most of the work himself. He even built a rotisserie jig to work on the chassis. Mike has taken the time to write an article chronicling his work to-date - complete with photos. He will also provide subsequent articles as work progresses. Thanks Mike!

Dear Healey Club Members,
Happy New Year!
Attached is the preliminary Events Schedule for 2012.
While not all of the details are worked out for some of the events, I wanted to get this in your hands so you can plan your calendars accordingly. We're still working on scheduling one more event for 2012 and will send out updated schedules as details are finalized.
We have several exciting new events planned for this year in addition to our annual events.
The first event for 2012 is the Mid-Winter Rally scheduled for Feb 18th. Since moving the Winter Dinner to Spring, we needed to get the troops together to help shrug off the mid-winter blues. Kaye Kovacs is planning this informal get together and will be coming out with the details shortly.
Speaking of Spring Dinner, we have a new exciting and unique venue for this year's dinner - The Harley Davidson Museum! The dinner is scheduled for May 5th, and in addition to great entree's and deserts, will include a free pass to the museum for each guest. You won't want to miss this one - mark your calendars today.
Finally, as mentioned earlier, we have several new events for this year. First, we have scheduled a joint event with our British cousins, the MG Club, for May 19th. They traditionally have a car rally/tour in early May and so we thought this would be a fun event to do jointly. We are also planning an outing at Miller Park complete with a tail gate party for either July or August. Unfortunately, we can't secure the area so Healeys are optional.
Check out the rest of the schedule plan to make as many events as possible.
Let me know if you have ideas for other for events - your ideas a help are greatly appreciated.
By the way, I'm still looking for event coordinators for the Botham Weekend and the Fall Weekend Tour.
Thanks,
Bill
