Register meeting 1 March 2018 The Rush to Murray Bridge Goldfield .
he rush was certainly on from those assembled at Crafers Park N Ride to Brian & Kath Golding ’ s digs at Murray Bridge again this year . We were blessed with perfect weather and received a “ blessing “ at the start from the sari clad Hari Krishna ’ s who took an avid interest in the cars and Russell Garth especially . He really wanted a seat in the TF Russ , pity you could have been the first Uber TF in Adelaide , but then again the sari would have got messed up in the handbrake , he looked a bit suss Russ ! It really was a great start , some “ slower ” cars flagged off early but were never overtaken driven to the max in true MG spirit , one never made it for reasons that will be explained later . Thanks again to Brian & Kath again this year , it has become an annual pilgrimage and we appreciate the hospitality sincerely . At long last the
22 sunset met Goldy ’ s expectations that was just as well as he has been promising us for the last two years that it would be good . 42 + signed in , 13 T register cars . Apologies . There were a few , Doc Whyatt , Kenny Fisher , Peter Wallace , Geoff Glasson , John Tamke , Stan Sheppard , Robin Gibbs , Forthy , Joy & David Pearson , Ronnie Jellet ( unwell ) Chris & Heather Bennett , Bob & Shelly Bazzica & two notables Peter Cundy & David TD Mc Nabb . It is worth noting that the last two had interesting excuses . Peter Cundy was in the jungles of Sri Lanka looking for 1930 ’ s MG Parts , pity the Japanese never left any behind in 1942 . McNabb of course in keeping with the Gold Rush night , was luxuriating in Gold Class at Marion Cinema ’ s , Kerry having corralled him on a Register night to the movies , well that is his chances gone in the Irving Cup this year for sure .
