MG Car Club of South Australia
MID WEEK LUNCH RUN NEWS from
Garry Chapman,
Thursday 11 October 2018.
32 people mostly in MG’s met at the
Torrens Arms Hotel for coffee and the
hotel people said that the car park had
never looked so good. It was a beauti-
ful spring day and most of the hoods
were down.
After a coffee and a chat we negotiated
the suburbs of Mitcham, Belair and
Blackwood and up the steep hill of Ack-
land Hill Road. On the run through to
Mylor we were joined by Roger and
Caroline Boylen in their MGB.
The
countryside was looking great with lots
of green grass and probably too many
yellow dandelions.
The run through
Echunga and Macclesfield to Meadows
was completed by all without incident
and although there were road works in
front of the hotel everyone found a suit-
able parking spot.
It was good to see Brian and Kath Gold-
ing who drove over from Murray Bridge
in their MG TC,
Chris and Annette
Kinney came in the seldom seen Riley
1.5 which is looking good.
10 people
came straight to the Meadows Hotel
bringing the total attendance to 44.
We were welcomed by the hotel man-
ager who said that the MG Car Club
had a very good reputation from previ-
ous visits and as the food was agreed
to be excellent a good time was had by
all.
