December 2018 - although Anna and Paul have given as much help as they can), for members who aren’t going to read it anyway. This is but one example. Club members gain most from meeting and talking to other club members (with MG’s as the common ground), but obvi- ously the club members don’t want to do this. We are about to embark on an ambi- tious toilet block for the Chief St Club- rooms. Now we have to ask - why? - as it ap- pears there is no necessity or require- ment, as few use the Clubrooms facili- ties. The Clubrooms themselves - with the little use they get, would be better sold, and so the financial drain on the club be removed. The Register is the only bright side of the Club, but hardly sufficient to per- petuate a decaying institution. It’s sad, that after nearly 20 years, we have reached the end of the road, but one must accept change and make room for these changes. The MG Car Club - in this State -is old hat. If it is to be saved and revitalised, the moves have to come from the mem- bers, not just a few old faithfuls’. BASICALLY, it boils down to this ..... Has the MG CAR CLUB of SA outlived it’s usefulness. Has a Club of this nature anything to offer as benefit to its Club members? SOME PHOTOS FROM Rnd 5 SPRINT SEE REPORT OVERLEAF 35
