Other special events are sometimes held during the month, some of which are tradition. The ³Might As Well-Have-A-Party² Party, the Nigel Setright Grand Prix, the Renaissance Fair/ Lakes Tour, the Heartland Regional, the Poker Run, and the Flatwater show are among these. People choose to sponsor other events from time to time, such as the upcoming Art Dart sponsored by Barbara Rixstine. Be sure to let the newsletter editor know about the event so it can put in the newsletter. This is the best way of letting all club members know what's being planned.
How do I organize an event?
Plan it and let the newsletter editors know by the 25th of the month before. With rare exceptions we want all official events to be open to all members who choose to come - we get stronger by including everyone, not by eliminating anyone.
If you would like help in organizing an event, call one of the officers or a member who has been active longer than you and they will be generally be happy to do all they are able to help you, as time allows. Sometimes members will do a private event inviting just a few as a trial run, with the idea of making it a club activity the next year, if all works well.
Many events are planned at the Holiday Dinner held in conjunction with HMRNP. Others are planned at the Annual Business Meeting, often around St. Patrick's Day. However, events do not have to be planned by officers, or even approved by officers.
Just be aware that we want to include all members, and that we do have our good name to consider (Good name? What am I saying?) when planning events.
How do I go about getting help with my car/garage?
Contact the newsletter editors with a date and a time. Many members are willing to work for food and drink. They are also willing to give free advice over the telephone, advice that is worth every bit of what you have paid for it.
Now that you are members, we invite you to become as involved as you want to be. If you have ideas for events, articles for the newsletter, or general suggestions for Flatwater, please let us know. While not every suggestion will be adopted, all will be considered. So please get involved, and again, welcome to the Flatwater Austin Healey (and other British Marques) Club.
