[Healeys] Quick Straw poll on your Healey Club

[Chris Dimmock]

Hi Men.
Here are the results of the survey, so far...
17 Clubs.... I excluded all mixed marque British clubs. And specifically
Sprite Clubs....

And I'm excluding "my" club, the one I'm a member of. For now...

The two big questions were:

1. Is voting membership restricted to owners, or ex owners?
88% said no.
Ahoc New Zealand
Ahoc Victoria (Aus) were the only who said yes.

2. Does your club define 'Healeys' as also being Jensen Healeys/ Austin Healey
Sprites?
100% of those 17 clubs agreed that all cars 'Healey' were Healeys (DHMCo,
Austin Healey, Jensen Healey, Nash Healey, prototypes, works cars, etc etc)

So. Now let me introduce The Austin Healey Owners Club of NSW, Australia,
It would appear that we are the only Club that doesn't allow Sprites and JH.

It also currently is an owners and ex owners club.
So that makes it, so far, the 'most' exclusive Healey Club on the planet, by
far....
Membership? 220. Where spouses are counted as members...

So. These are the facts.
I'd love to see membership numbers of all your clubs.
I'd also love to know what you think. A club that doesn't recognize a huge
number of the cars built under the name on the badge?
Best
Chris
