MGA/MAGNETTEREGISTER MEETING
THURSDAY 19 JULY 2018 AT IAN
AND MARIE BAUM’S BUSINESS
PREMISES AT ALBERTON
I
s it me, or do the winters seem
longer, colder and darker than in my
youth? That may be the answer or it
could be that our meeting was held on
the coldest day of the year in Adelaide
so far this winter, followed in the evening
with rain and some hail. Needless to say
that apart from the hosts I did not expect
to see any MGA’s or Magnettes. Well,
that is apart from the redoubtable Dean
Hosking who drove his MGA to the meet-
ing, the only concession to the weather
being that he had the hood on. If I had a
medal for attendance under duress in a
Register vehicle, Dean would deserve it.
Alas, no medal, but the thought was
there Dean.
Lachlan Kinnear (T owner) came with his
friend Steve Matulich. Steve is in the
market for an MGA and, as luck would
have it, Ian and Marie have their white
MGA (formerly owned by Mick Mitolo) for
sale. As Ian says – you can only drive

I brought the meet-
ing up to date on
my efforts with the
Gallery photos as
well as the hard
c over
Reg is ter
Books. So many cars have no further
information once the member resigns or
changes clubs. Our new Secretary of
Registers is looking for this information
to be kept up to date. Steve Matulich
offered to help with a programme to
store information in “the cloud”. As the
Club is presently investigating a new
computer, I will pass this information on
to our Secretary, Web Master and all
around technical guru, Peter Coulson.
The Poker Run, organized by Nick and
Dennise Micklem is set for Sunday 23
September 2018. We will meet from
9.30 am at Valhalla, 1 Lofty’s Lane,
Houghton where we will pay the hosts
$5 per car and we will received our first
playing card. A drive and four stops
later we should have a poker hand and
we will then return to Valhalla for a BBQ
lunch and a winner will be declared.
Dennise requests that we not be caught
cheating. I read that as – its OK to
cheat, but don’t get caught. In advance,
your grateful Register Secretary would
like to thank Nick and Dennise for orga-
nizing this event. To help with catering,
please email Dennise at
