This year Eastern Centre welcomes you to Norfolk, the county with no motorways, big skies and very few serious hills. As a change to past events, the 2023 International Healey Meeting is taking place mid-week (Tuesday to Thursday) and earlier in the year.
The event will be based on the outskirts of the Hanseatic town of Kings Lynn at the four-star Knights Hill Hotel, conveniently situated on the A149, for exploring this quiet part of East Anglia.

Apr29-30Donington Historic Festival
With the return of you, the spectators, the Donington Historic Festival is fully back on track, and we couldn’t be happier! The 11th edition of the event promises two days of fantastic race action and off-track entertainment.
We’ve squeezed a tremendous amount into the next two days, with nine races for cars spanning seven decades, from the sprightly 1920s and 30s sports cars of the ‘Mad Jack’ and glorious sports-racing and GT cars from the 1950s and 60s to Touring Cars from the 1960s to 80s.
In addition, new for this year is the stunning spectacle of not one but two races for original factory Group C1 cars – think V12 and V6-Turbo Silk Cut Jaguars, Flat-6 Porsche 962s, and V8-Turbo Sauber-Mercedes, to name but a few.
For full details of how to book, please see the Members' Area (login required) or Midlands website.

Find Your Local Noggin
You can now find your local Noggin and Natter using our interactive map view.
Each of our centres have regular meetings throughout the UK, where members can come along and chat about all things Healey. If you're puzzling over what insurance to get, where to obtain that vital spare part, want ideas for runs out, come along and have a natter. If you've never been before, it's worth dropping a line to the organiser to let them know you're thinking of coming.
And with the summer months now upon us, it also gives a good excuse to get the cars out and blow the cobwebs off.

Back Issue to the Future
The RevCounter Time-machine
Our extensive archive of RevCounter magazines has been expanded through the ages to include issues from 1972 to 1999, allowing you to delve back into Healey history and see what we got up to "back in the day".
A big thanks to Jim Palmer for his dedicated efforts in making this possible.
To make this vast repository more useful, the new archive has been made searchable, so if you are looking for a person or an event, you can now search for it and see a list of issues containing that text along with a snippet of context information.
Regalia Web Shop
Our online Regalia Web Shop is still open for business. We have a wide range of ladies and gents clothing, hats, umbrellas and more. Clothing is available in a range of sizes and colours. The shop also sells our usual stickers, badges and lapel pins. Some items may also be personalized to make them that little bit more special.
For more details and access to the shop, see the Regalia Page.
New Technical Article Index
Our resident bookworm has been burrowing his way through past issues of RevCounter and has produced a definitive index of all the technical articles that we have ever published. This index has been turned into an interactive hierarchical web page that should allow you to find and download individual articles relating to any given topic. The index also includes all the Norman Nock articles as well, making it a great reference for all things Healey.
To access the new Technical Index you will need to sign into the Members' Area (or register for a Members' Area account if you haven't already got one). The index can be found here.
STOP PRESS
WE NOW HAVE YouTube VIDEOS ON THE CLUBS WEBSITE INCLUDED IN THE TECHNICAL ARTICLES SECTION.

Marque Registers
Since the 70's the question has been asked, "how many cars do you think still exist?". From this early remark some keen enthusiasts started collecting numbers, and these became the Marque Registers. Over the years, the Registers have evolved to building up histories of individual cars, how they survived, how they were modified and who owned them.
In order to keep the Registers going, our Register Secretaries need your help. You can now register your cars online using a simple step-by-step form which guides you through gathering information like chassis and body numbers through to the original colours and options on the car when it was built. You can also add photographs and documents to help complete the history of your car.
To get started, or to contact one of the Register Secretaries, please visit the Marque Registers page. This section is open to all, and you do not need to be a member of the club to fill in a form.
