elcome to 2018, and comple-
ments of the season to all, I trust
you had a happy and safe New Year, so
now it’s down to business again.
2017 ended with a rush of events with
some featured in this issue, if not with
an accompanying script certainly with
plenty of photos.
As a motorsport competitor, I, like a lot
of others are champing at the bit to have
a drive at “The Bend” and this will now
take place at the MG Club Challenge in
June, not only will there be our Chal-
lenge Sprint on the east circuit but there
will be a contingent of MG’s from the
Victorian Racing Register competing at
the 2 day Sporting Car Club race meet-
ing on the west circuit, see page 48
Talking of cars,
What a beautiful car Peter Shipsides
WA is, and I can’t wait to see Bazzicas
Arnolt when it’s finished.
Finally the controversy about the first
MG has been decided, see page 44
Isn’t age and illness a terrible thing, see
an old friend of the Club has left us !
And don’t forget, please
support our sponsors
whenever possible
and be sure to let them
know you are an MG
