MG Car Club of South Australia PRE-WAR & T REGISTER From...John Bray 6 July 2017 Register meeting at Ken Fisher’s , Benjamin Street, St Marys A nticipating that we would be ‘ Singin in the rain’ in July, Ken kindly agreed to host the meeting in his work premises again this year and it was ‘house full’ as over 50 were in atten- dance. Sincere thanks to Ken and Rose- mary for hosting a very memorable event. Apologies. Seems as though some people are going to a great deal of trou- ble to make sure that their absence is out there in front of the meeting which is good really however some actually do a Lazerous and turn up anyway, messers Forth and Loader to name two. AWOL were Driver, Glasson, Oliver, Greenwood, Hosking , Geraldine H, Fair- brother, Bazzica,, Linehan & Terry Wright who has moved and finds it too dark to find his way back home. Peter Auld is home from hospital recov- ering under Christine’s supervision, do- ing ok now. Bazzica is resorting to hand delivered emails and has a reasonable excuse being in Trump country at the GOF (Gathering of the Faithful) not just a reli- gious sect no sir, MG Family! 10 Mozza,’ Rocky Mountain High ‘Linehan is in Canada, check the website for his amazing graphics depicting Mozza in mounting costume, er woops ! Visitors. Welcomed to the meeting were Nick Cundy- son of Peter, Keith Harris- brother and lookalike of Roland, Sandra Codrington- friend of Mike Lyons & raffle winner ! General business. It was as I said, full house and 12 T Types, 2 N Types & 1 Y Type Saloon mixed in with other species in Ken’s premises, check the photos supplied by TD McNabb. The food was great thanks Rosemary and plenty of conversation ensured that I ran late starting proceed- ings. I will be brief but, it was Doc Dallwitz’s 71 birthday and he was presented with two cupcakes courtesy of the serial pest one John Neilson. At least he has some- thing in common with the SA boys from Goolwa in that he owned an SA which is under restoration by his son. Brian Forth has secured some second- hand worn out carpets for his TD from the guru of TD’s Mc Nabb. Seems as though the patina on the rest of the car cannot be spoiled by the sweet smell and visual perfection of new carpets, each to his own I say.
