May 2018
was time to dress up in our best clothes
and gather once again at the Ulverstone
Sports Centre. As everyone arrived
there was one major surprise, Chris and
Wes Bray, the results officials, managed
to arrive before the first course was
served as their job was complete.
Dinner was a three-course meal with a
tasty entrée, a choice of fish or beef for
the main and a choice of deserts. Table
service meant that you did not have to
join long queues at the buffet.
Medals were presented for the Hill
Climb, the Observation Run and the Mo-
torkhana. To conclude the evening out-
right and perpetual trophy winners re-
ceived their spoils. Special mention
must be made of Wayne Kirwan
(Queensland) who won three perpetual
trophies (New Zealand Plate, Golden
Gudgeon and Cecil Kimber) for the sec-
ond consecutive year.

Tuesday morning for most was spent
packing the cars ready to continue their
journeys through Tasmania or travel
down the highway to Devonport to catch
the evening ferry.
After this there was a drive to a packed
car park at Pier01 for a sumptuous
breakfast. Once again there was a
great deal of noisy chatter as people
talked about the weekend, part of the
conversation usually being “Are you go-
ing to Queensland next year?”
Tim Edmonds, Bev Waters and Wes
Bray then returned to the Ulverstone
Sports Centre for the Delegates Meeting
where the weekend was reviewed,
changes to rules were discussed and a
timetable for future National Meetings
was planned. It was decided that the
MG National Meeting celebrating the
centenary of the building of the first MG
will be held in 2024.
