September 2018
& Shelly in the mix, travellers Chris and
Heather Bennetts after their adventures
down the Amazon and South America
and finally , how could I miss him, well I
did on the night, Artfur Rummager!
Arthur’s daughter’s wedding in Sicily
was a wonderful event judging by the
photographs especially the little bloke in
his rented penguin suit, however his trip
on to Europe where he visited his mate
with another ND was a bit special.
Amazing that he gets to drive it and se-
cretly copy the hood details for his own.
Goldy brought a better looking Ronnie
Jellet this time, good to see Ron looking
a lot better and enjoying the fresh air
under the roller door at Thanes.
On the matter of Goldy’s pistons , it
seems that there is a need for some “KY
Jelly” lubricant to get them to fit, I cannot
go further with this but it is a continuing
saga that pervades every register meet-
ing that he attends.
Doug Clarke was a welcome visitor
again, he is the custodian of his dad’s
TD and I refer to our old mate Graham
Clarke who is in care these days and not
doing too bad according to Doug. Good
to see you with us Doug.
Peter & Bronwyn Micklem who will host
the October meeting again this year are
rather anxious that the engine rebuild on
the TD will not be completed by then,
however I did reassure them both that
we will be there in
good numbers in
any case to enjoy
their capable and
generous hospital-
ity.
Inspector
Ken.
Pleased
to
see
Kenny Burke, the
Secretary of Regis-
ters
attend
the
meeting again this
month, he is looking
for members to as-
sist in providing information on their cars
for an update of the MGCCSA data
base. Russ Garth has been doing work
consolidating the Prewar & T Type reg-
ister for us, it looks like that there needs
to be a coming together of all the data
bases in the club.
Photographs. My thanks to Terry
Wright for the great personality shots on
the night, see them here and on the
website in colour, wrinkles , warts and
all.
The wrap. Thanks so much for your
support at the meetings, it is most reas-
suring that there is great conversation
and chatter on all things MG with the
occasional jokes from TD McNabb, pity
Mozza’s TD does not have the same
waterproofing qualities that McNabb has
with his.
I do not have a venue for the September
meeting at this stage of writing the re-
port however it will be on email before-
hand.
Parts. On spare parts, there are a few
who are looking for items on rebuilds
etc, if you have any thing , or know of
others who have parts lying about,
please let me know so that I can pass it
on. TF bits especially at the moment.
See you next month all being well.
Cheers, John Bray BOTR ( Boss of the
Register)
