MG Car Club of South Australia
LIBRARY NEWS
From..Stephen Marlow
S
ummer has been a pretty quiet time
in the library but there are a couple
of things to keep member up to date on .
As promised at Club monthly meetings,
I’ve got a list of people who have had
books on loan for what seems like a
pretty long time (i.e., over a year), and
I’m phoning them to politely ask them to
return their reads so they can be shared
by all!
By the time you read this I hope to have
collected all the old magazines from the
front room and disposed of them in an
environmentally friendly way.
Those of you have been following this
will remember that these are NOT
MGCCSA magazines, they’re old copies
of the various publications we receive
from other clubs which have been sitting
around unread for a long time. Limited
space has dictated that they have to go.
Please don’t call me Marie Kondo!!
We have a new book just received
which will be of particular interest to the
A fraternity. It’s “The MGA - First of a
New Line" by J P Williams. We already
have a couple of John Williams’ books
and I’m assured this will be a worthy
and popular addition.
I had a bit of trouble sourcing the book
but managed to locate it via John Cron-
shaw Motoring Books. John was a stu-
dio cameraman and then studio director
at NWS 9 back in the good old days
when Curley was an engineer there and
I worked in the newsroom. I caught up
with John at the All British Day for the
36
first time in over 40 years and I’m de-
lighted his home-based business was
able to assist me in finding this book. A
bit of a free plug for an old mate – you

or 0422 650 365.
And finally, I’ve taken over the Enter-
tainment Book role from Geraldine this
year; I expect the books to be available
in April so please phone me or email
me with your orders! I’m sure you are
all familiar with the great discounts
available via the hundreds of vouchers
etc. which this book offers – and there’s
a cash incentive for the club’s funds
too! Look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers for now!
