Here is our President enjoying a bit of Sunshine (leaning on Blue Boy). Look closely, his head (cap) and shoulders are showing right over the Hard Top.

The Kilts are off to the right.

The host hotel contract has been signed-here is a link so you can reserve your room
https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/winga...3&checkOutDate=04/02/2023&groupCode=033023BRI
The room rate is $109+tax. They gave us the same rate we have had for years.
We also reserved the swap meet and hospitality room and got the adjacent room to it as well. Last year we ran out of swap meet space and luckily got the adjacent room at the last minute. So LOTS of space for everyone. We will also have several tables for
free stuff so bring some parts to give away and maybe you will find what you need there too!
The all day swap meet is Friday March 31st. The British car show/Sunbeam Invasion show and Scottish Games are on Saturday April 1st. More info will be coming soon.

The block of hotel rooms at the special rate has expired-but you can call the hotel directly as per the note below

Good morning!
Unfortunately, once the cut off date has past, I cannot alter the block. The computer will not let me.
Luckily, there are plenty of rooms still available at the hotel level. They will need to call the hotel directly and we can push through the reservations into the block, and they can get the group discount.
I will let the front desk know to expect some calls for this group.
Thank you,

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I did manage to get a room within the block a couple of minutes ago. Now to find a stamp to mail in the registration.

UPDATE!
Over 20 Sunbeams registered for the show on Saturday so far and lots of folks coming minus a Sunbeam and all are welcome.
We even have a member flying in from Canada and one from California!
I have heard from many that they are bringing parts for our all day swap meet on Friday at the hotel.
It will be in the low 80's for both Friday and Saturday so wear shorts or a kilt.....
Safe travels to all and we are looking forward to seeing y'all.

Thanks to all who attended the Invasion this year!
The Friday all day swap meet at the host hotel was great and it is always good seeing everyone again.
16 Sunbeams attended the British car show on Saturday. The weather report for the day kept the car count down but it was just a brief rain and the sun came out quickly and dried everything out. The only red Sunbeams there were the two Harringtons-that was unusual.
