MEETING HELD AT THE CLUB- ROOMS ON 20 SEPTEMBER 2018 S eventeen members and five MGA’s attended the meeting along with an MGB and various modern vehicles. Apologies were received from Allan Hawkes, Mike Greenwood and De Denny. I had the Register Books at the club- rooms (they have been home for about three or four months, trying to tidy them up) and most members checked that their car was in the right spot as well as up to date details. Thank you for that. Because I have spent such a lot of time on this, I advised that I would recom- mend to the Committee of the Car Club that in future the records of MGA’s and Magnettes be maintained in the elec- tronic Gallery on the Club website. There was some discussion, however, that will be my recommendation. The books as they currently exist will be stored in the cabinet in the main club- rooms. Our last outing was the Poker Run or- ganized by the Micklems. By the time you read this, it will have been run and the 26 members who attended had a great day, followed by a tasty sausage sizzle at Valhalla. We all learned a little bit about the history of Adelaide via our five stops at local cemetaries, the most memorable for me being the headstone of Mr Langley who came out on the Buffalo. Our Annual Dinner is on Sunday 2 nd December 2018. I have booked the Belair Hotel 6.30 for a 7pm start. A three course menu, with two choices per course, will cost $65 per head, pay- able in advance please. Our vegetarian and gluten free members will be ca- tered for, just let me know by 15 th No- vember at the Register Meeting to be held at Bob and Shelley Bazzica’s West Beach home. Because it is close to the city, I think we can make our own way to the venue. This event is not limited to MGA/Magnette members, all are wel- come, just let me know how many members to expect and dietary require- ments. Further to the keeping of records etc. I advised the members present that I would not continue in my role as Secre- tary/Co-ordinator of the MGA/Magnette Register after January 2019. The meet- ing for January would be held at the clubrooms to allow as many people as possible to attend and elect a new co- ordinator. I have taken this step after a great deal of thought. I find myself be- coming involved in other areas of the car club and feel that the time is right for some new ideas from a new co- ordinator.
