Fellow Spridgeteers,

While the '50th celebration committee' is pleased to see all the traffic and

interest generated by the question of where to hold the 50th event,  it is 
equally disturbed to see the factions already developing.

It was not a question of who, what, when, or will there be a 50th 
celebration but one of  location only.  There will be "A" 50th celebration 
event and the only question is where. The committee decided from past feed 
back that the location should be moved from Pennsylvania to a more central 
location to allow/facilitate more people to attend rather than continue the 
every 5 year events as an East coast event.

Prior to this question being asked an 'official web site/list should have 
been put into place but unfortunately wasn't.  This is being pursued.

This will be a spridgets group get together and will be managed by fellow 
spridgeteers. If someone has the muscle/influence to get one of the national

clubs involved fine we will welcome that help. But from past experience, the

every 5 year Sprite events, none was ever extended or offered by either of 
the Austin Healey Clubs despite requests for same.

It will not be combined, part of, or held in conjunction with any 'national'

or 'local' event that will not help support our effort/costs.

So in summary, the only question is what do you think will be the best 
central US location to hold the 50th celebration.  That is the question and 
only question on the table for now.  Once "a" location is decided the rest 
of the planning will be based upon that decision.
