MG Car Club of South Australia
MGA - MAGNETTE NEWS From .. Sandra Cardnell
REGISTER MEETING 17 MAY 2018
rthur Ruediger welcomed 17 members to the meeting at his home at
A
West Lakes . We had an assortment of plastic vehicles but 6 MGA ’ s , One MGB and one MG KN were parked in his driveway . One of the members present was Ken Burke , our new Secretary of Registers .
We had apologies from Stuart Attenborough , Jas and Geoff Goode , Roger and Caroline Boylen , Dee Denny and Karen Stephenson .
It was a cool night , so we congregated in Arthur ’ s warm and cosy living room until the majority of the meeting ( i . e . the blokes ) ventured to the garage and driveway to look at Bob Bazzica ’ s KN and hear a little of its history . Sandy Dicker , Velli Algate , Denise Micklem and myself stayed inside to catch up on the serious side of business , holidays , grandchildren , weddings etc . We did however make it out to the garage for the meeting – well I needed to be there for that and we caught the last of Bob ’ s talk about Arthur ’ s ND .
Dick Manning sent some MGA spotlights down for all to check out – they will be at the swap meet at the clubrooms on June 15 th along with a wiring loom for a TD . Dick was not able to attend , so I spruiked his swap meet .
The Poker Run proposed by Nick and Denise Micklem will be held on 23 September , 2018 . More details later .
We discussed the necessity of keeping the gallery of MGA ’ s and Magnettes current and I plan to send an email to everyone on my list to update details ,
16
both of the cars and personal details . Although there is space for updating on the membership invoice , many members do not alter details there , so I may have to make a few phone calls – I hope not too many .
I advised the meeting of the new arrangements for the All MG Day , to be held at the Torrens Parade Ground on 9 th September , instead of Civic Park . The Tea Tree Gully Council advised that the event could be cancelled if the grass could be damaged because of excess rain . Only recently a display of historic vehicles had to be moved to the TTG Swimming Centre because the Civic Park ground was too wet . If you are interested , vehicles can enter from 9 am and we request that they stay on display from 10 am to 3 pm .
Murray Stephenson requested volunteers for the MG Challenge at The Bend on 10 June 2018 . He will need more than usual because of the size of the track .
Thank you to Arthur for a lovely evening and tasty supper . We had a smallish turnout , so Arthur had leftovers , at least for a day or two .
Next meeting on 19 July at Ian and Marie Baum ’ s business premises , 40 Coburg Rd , Alberton . Arthur will be an apology for this meeting – poor man has to go to Italy and Europe for his daughter ’ s wedding and a bit of sightseeing . We feel for you Arthur !
