Registration is Open!
Registration for the Healey Seaside Summit at the
Wylie Inn and Conference Center in Beverly, MA is now officially open. It may seem a bit early to sign up for an event taking place on August 5-9, 2018, but there’s a very good reason for it … room availability.
We’ve secured a very favorable room rate of $129 per night (breakfast included)* at this wonderful seaside inn. To get that rate, the club was required to guarantee a set number of rooms (35) and we expect these rooms will be taken quickly. Registering for Summit and making reservations at the Inn early-on will be the only way to guarantee being on-site for all the Summit events. Although we expect more than 35 rooms to be available for those that make reservations later, there’s no guarantee and rooms in other locations in the area may not be available and will be considerably more expensive.
To help you decide on the events on the registration form that require pre-payment, here’s a brief description:
Lobster Dinner – A repeat of the very successful Lobster Feed at Tom and Judith Ann Webster’s home in Magnolia, MA. Boiled lobster, fresh native corn and tomatoes make this a New England summer must. Check out the January issue of the
Healey Marque to see what a great time this will be. Alternative food will be available for the non-lobster folks.
Schooner Sail – An afternoon sail around Gloucester harbor on the fishing schooner
"Thomas E, Lannon". This will be a perfect outing on a warm summer day. We’ve booked the
Lannon for the exclusive use of the Seaside Summit, but she’s limited to 49 passengers, so again early reservations are going to be important. If we get more than 49 reservations, we’ll do our best to secure another boat, but no guarantee.
Banquet Dinner – This will be a fun one. Our banquet will be held in the conservatory at
Tupper Manor on the grounds of the Wylie Inn. In keeping with the history of the Manor as the summer home of the
Bryce Allen family, you’re invited to wear your best Gatsby-era finery to dinner. (And, no, you don’t have to if you don’t want to.) Our guest speaker will be noted UK Healey restorer Bill Rawles:

Escape Room - Timed to coincide with one of our tech sessions, this will give those who aren’t enamored with learning of the inner workings of a Healey distributor a nice option. Join with your friends, new and old, at
Escape this Live, an interactive adventure game, where you’ll use skill and wit to escape from a locked room. (Hint for the claustrophobic, it’s symbolically locked, but not really locked because the fire department frowns on that kind of stuff).
Of course, these aren’t the only events scheduled for Seaside Summit, there are plenty more of your favorites, but we want to get out the information on the ones that require pre-registration. Stay tuned for more details in the future.
REGISTRATION DETAILS – Go to:
https://www.ahca-newengland.org/summit-2018-registration.html and fill out the attached registration form and mail your check to our Registrar, Linda Hakala, at the address on the form and make your reservations with the Wylie Inn as indicated there. There are reduced prices for early registration, however, due to the requirement that the Club guarantee hotel rooms in advance, the
registration fee is non-refundable. Same goes for the harbor sail on the
Lannon as that has also been pre-paid by the Club. Fees paid for the Banquet, Lobster Feed and “Escape this Live” will be refundable if you are unable to attend and give notice prior to the date final counts are submitted to the providers. Refunds of room reservations at the Wylie Inn will be in accordance with their policy
here.
* For those that wish to explore the area further, Thursday, August 9[SUP]th[/SUP] is a “bonus day”. The Wylie will honor our group rate of $129 for that evening, however, breakfast will not be included for Friday morning.
