Just magic John.
But you must remember that in the antipodes it's way past midday.

Subject: [Healeys] 2011 Judging Standards - URGENT REVISION
Date: April 1, 2011
From: Committed Chairperson
Memo to: Concourse Committee <Healeys@autox.team.net>
Subject: Revision to Concours Guidelines
The Committee on Originality Standards has elected, pursuant to the
bylaws, to immediately and retroactively incorporate Section P (page
P9 - Paint Refinishing Instructions), from "The Austin-Healey 100 and
3000 Workshop Manual", for future Concourse inspections and for all
prior Concourse inspections as of the date of this memorandum or
whenever you happen to read this email as may be appropriate.
Requirements for body work to an Austin Healey must now comply with
all aspects of Section P in the Workshop Manual; this includes, but
is not limited too the stated suppliers, materials and outlined
procedures to receive the prerequisite medal in a concourse judging.
To keep your Gold, Silver or Bronze medal, or to obtain one in the
future, it will be necessary to completely strip the finish off of
the vehicle in question and then refinish it with the appropriate
methods, materials and procedures. Be certain to use the proper
stripping agent as outlined in Section P of the Workshop Manual! Of
course this will not be required if you have already complied with
Section P and can prove it as outlined in the next paragraph.
You must keep records of the materials purchased, the quantities
used, and the methods employed in the stripping and refinishing
process. You will be required to produce these records at the time
your vehicle undergoes a Concools judging. The same will be required
for those already in possession of a Concrete certificate. For
disposable items, such as "Howard Blue Twill Emery Cloth", it will be
necessary to save the used portions and bring them to the judging for
inspection by the Concoerced judge. It is suggested, but not
required, that you produce a video of the entire process.
We trust that the minor additional effort required by this revision
to the judging standards will be a trivial inconvenience to our
members. This change will continue to ensure that these beloved cars
are restored to the highest standards and traditions that we strive
to maintain in the pursuit of excellence in the restoration and
preservation of these historic automobiles.
Should you have any comments or suggestions concerning this change;
we don't care - keep them to yourself!
Insincerely yours,
A Chairperson that should be Committed
