MG Motoring 2018 March 2018 - opt | Page 27

March 2018 contingent of members present and it was decided that the Pre War & T Type Register lodge a strong representation to the committee in support of Russell’s and others concern. Ian Hobbs displayed a MMM prewar magazine, L0658 meant nothing to Reg, albeit that he was once the owner of the L Type, notwithstanding Ian left without the precious magazine , see that makes two with a doubtful memory ! Not only those two, Peter Auld has a habit of leaving without his cooler bag , members please remind before he leaves next time. Please remind Reg O”Malley to pick up his folding chair, and to bring his hearing aid. Dean Hosking is the proud owner of a white MGA 1600 MK 11, now looking to move his 1500 A out of the garage which has become overcrowded again. Don Walks managed to secure some handy spares from Scott Appleyard’s collection, guess they are going on the SA , who knows? Brian Forth is looking for some special tyres, 19 ‘s I think, I thought that he had heaps to sell ? Really important business: The I rving Cup winner is ! The clear winner this year is Bob Schapel who scored a total of 20 points for club attendances with his white TC patina aesthetic rusted body, 20 points. Others, Paul Dallwitz 17, Maurice Line- han 12, Thane Martin 10,Arthur Rudiger 10, Peter Auld 9, Laurie Foody 9,Leigh Ritcher 8, Pearson, Buckley, Bray 7. The Raffle. With the ringing of the bell for the barbe- cue supper to start, the raffle descended into chaos , however I was able to get prizes to most of the disinterested par- ties. Thanks to David McNaughton for the coolant and oil donated by his good friend at Caltex, very much appreciated indeed. There was to be a special prize for any- one who could produce their TFN, but hey chaos rained down on my parade , food is so much more important! The Barbecue. The food was prepared by Scott Ap- pleyard and his friend Chris Bennett (MGA) fastidiously as is their way, and I must say it was delicious and well re- ceived, thanks again Scott, it was just great. Next meeting. 1 March , Brian & Kath Golding’s road trip to Murray Bridge, usual meet at Crafers Park N Ride for the run , more news to come. Domino’s ready with the pizzas I am told. Other meetings, April not decided, May 3, West Beach , Bob & Shelly Bazzica’s come and see the KN finished ! Check the magazine Jan/Feb for meetings, more info to come. The final wrap. Terry Wright has produced magnificent photos with his new camera that has settings working like a pair of finely tuned SU carburettors , check the web- site. Thanks also to TD McNabb for his usual contribution with the Box Brownie. Another TFN ( Tee Fun Night) com- pleted, thanks all for making it a suc- cess. Cheers, John Bray BOTR.
