MGA/MAGNETTE REGISTER
MEETING HELD AT DENNISE
AND NICK MICKLEM’S HOME AT
HOUGHTON ON 16 NOVEMBER 2017
Our next event will be the annual din-
ner, but that report will be in the Febru-
ary magazine.
The next Register meeting will be on
18 th January 2018 at Velli and Gary Al-
gate’s home at 41 Fisher Crescent,
Craigburn Farm, 5051. They have only
been in the house for about a year so
the garage should be well organized
with not much old stuff, slim pickings for
souvenier hunters.
W
ell after what seemed like the
start of summer at the Kimber
Run four days previously, the weather
turned cold, windy and damp for our
meeting at the Micklem’s. So only a few
hardy souls braved the evening. Apolo-
gies from the Dickers, Dennys, Houghs,
Kevin Roper, and Jasmine Goode. Ian
Wilson was an akpology but let me know
that his A is nearly ready to test. With
the exception of Gary Algate who ar-
rived in his new Mercedes (sorry F troop
not an SLK) there were six MGA’s in-
cluding our host’s “Noddy”.
Thanks to everyone who supported the
meetings and events throughout 2017.
Alan and I hope everyone has a happy
and safe Christmas. See you next year

Nick and Dennise are downsizing to a
new house on the block next door and I
thought it might be our last meeting at
Valhalla. That is until we checked out
the site works – still waiting on a start is
one way of looking at it. Nick’s great
shed is looking good, some downsizing
there too, except for the “new” digger
and the addition of a hoist. Could come
in handy for those in the north east.
The chat in the garage was about Nick’s
carburettors and identifying various en-
gine blocks and gear boxes. His project
car is still in the roof – no change as yet.
After a short meeting, well more of a
chat really, Arthur volunteered to host
the Register meeting at his place in May
2018 and Dennise and Nick will organ-
ize a short run (possibly a poker run) to
finish at Valhalla for the March meeting.
Bazz and Shelley have volunteered to
hold a meeting as well.
