MG Car Club of South Australia INAUGURAL PERPETUAL TROPHY PRESENTATION PRESERVING THE MG MARQUE AWARD Awarded to BOB BAZZICA The trophy was generously donated by Peter Auld, and presented by the MG Car Club of SA When Peter Auld joined the MG Car Club in 1958, there was a strong empha- sis on competition. Over the years as the vehicles got older and competition became less domi- nant and the club ideals changed, in 1993 the club constitution was amended to represent the change of direction and to include ‘to foster the restoration, preservation and maintenance of MG cars and to encourage their display and use’. With this in mind, it was felt that the recognition of members’ outstanding con- tribution to these club ideals should be acknowledged. The inaugural presentation was made at the Club’s Monthly General meeting on November 13 th , 2018 based on the following: Maintenance To acknowledge a members’ contribution towards the maintenance of MG Cars to the benefit of all MG Car Club members. Preservation To recognise a member of the club whose efforts and contribution assists in preserving MG Cars. Restoration To award and acknowledge personal input into the process of an outstanding restoration. CONGRATULATIONS to Bob Bazzica for his outstanding contribution to the MG Marque 40
