Western WA. ABFM

[Edie Anne Horn]

Rob Wescott and I attended the ABFM walk-thru on Saturday morning.  The
following are my notes from the event:
  1.. The organizer is the MG club.  Steve something or other will provide a
phone/contact list on the morning of the 23rd for our use.
  2.. Arrival time for those wishing to set up the Healey location is 7:15 am
to 8:00 am, while registered show cars to arrive starting at 8:00 am and be in
place hopefully no later than 10:00 am.  The MG club will provide a tent at
the north gate for our use, and set it up for us.  However if the club has a
tent they wish to bring for the club's use they are encouraged to do so.
There was an island on the westerly end of our area that would accommodate it.
(Does anyone have the club banner? There would be a place on the island to
hang it).
  3.. If anyone has the "ABFM STAFF" t-shirts from previous years bring them.
The organizers will only have a few "aprons" this year for the car park
jockeys to wear.
  4.. The various vehicle class signs will be available the day of, and be in
garbage cans (clean I hope) down near the ABFM booth at the west end of lot 6.
  5.. Our Healeys will be in the east end of lot 6 on the north and middle
portion.  As of Saturday there are 25 Healeys registered.  The area is big
enough to accommodate late sign ups.  We share the east end with the Classic
Minis whose count as of the Saturdays meeting, was about 15.  They will be on
the south side of the lot.
For Your Information:  The college is thinking of building a new building for
nurse training.  Its planned for the west end of lots 4,6, and 8.  This would
remove a large portion of the area currently used for the parking of show
cars, so the ABFM staff is considering other locations to hold the meet
possibly next year and beyond.  Nothing has been decided upon, but areas in
Shoreline, Tacoma, Seattle, and even Vancouver BC are being looked at.  Any
ideas, we should pass them on to Steve.

That's it for now.  Hope to see all of you Saturday 23rd.  Any questions, let
me know.
