MG Car Club of South Australia
PRE-WAR & T REGISTER
From...John Bray

Robert and Beverly Horn
Clarence Park
CORNUCOPIA , THE HORN OF
PLENTY
F
rom the latin, cornu copiae or
horn of plenty is a symbol of
abundance, ( MG’s) and nourishment,
commonly a large container ( garage
workshop) overflowing with products
(cars) flowers or nuts and in this case
car parts and many other things to
delight the senses of vision and smell.
On behalf of the register, I would sincerely thank Robert and Beverly on
the success of their maiden register
night at their home, Beverly for the
marvellous supper, Robert for presenting his “cornucopia” garage in
great condition with the brace of
MGT’s that one auspicious member
describes as “horny” ( please excuse
the pun Robert), no doubt that you
can guess who that might be, however the self appointed secretary of
the TD register will get a mention
later.
42 signed in and there were 14 T register vehicles present, not all in the
garage though.
Apologies
In keeping with the theme , there were
plenty. Geoff Glasson (again), David
Leibbrandt , Goldy and Ronnie Jellet,
Mike Greenwood, Mike Lyons, Roland
Harris-Tweed, David & Joy Pearson,
Kenny Fisher, Stan Shepherd ( hospital,bad leg) and two from the Monaco
GP Andrew Willington & plumber
Trevor Driver.

It has been rumoured that Willington
& Driver were in the Red Bull shed
when Riccardo’s tyres went missing
during the GP ,funny about that.
Visitors
Chris and Heather Bennett, proud
new owners of a TF under restoration
attended the meeting, hopefully they
will join as members, photos of the
car look great.
General Business.
Dean Hosking opened the batting with
a compliment bestowed on Rod
O’Malley and his team at MG Sales &
Service, service being the operative
word here, well done Rod great to
hear that and well deserved. Put a
big smile on the face of the old bloke
in the corner, eh Reg ?
