MG Car Club of South Australia 2018 AUSTRALIAN ANNUAL KIMBER RUN From..Berry Treffers T he MG Kimber run has been held annually since 1995 in remem- brance of the founder and first General Manager of the MG Car Company, Ce- cil Kimber. All MG owners are invited to attend and meet with other MG owners in the spirit of friendship and in enjoying and driving our MG’s The 2019 Kimber run will be the 24 th Kimber run since inception and for 2019 we will again assemble at Edwards Place on West Terrace. There will be a coffee cart at the start and there are toilets available. For something different we will be waived of by the Lord Mayor, Sandy Verschoor, at 9.30 am . I can assure you that this year’s run will be an enjoyable run along some roads you know and some new ones as well. Please be patient if you have slower cars in front of you there will be some passing spots eventually if you need to pass. There will also be some nice open roads. I suggest you plan to arrive by 8.15 am or so to allow for your registration and fixing the Kimber Run plaque to your car. Plus, it gives you a chance to have a look at some of the other MG’s and catch up with old acquaintances from previous events before the departure for the run to Serafino Winery for a sit- down Lunch. The cars will park around the lake at the entrance. As part of your registration you will be given a run book which includes loca- tions of all the public toilets along the way and you will also pass some nice bakeries if you would like a morning tea stop. Numbers So here is the deal, seating for lunch is limited to 200 people, hence first in first serve. We must submit and guarantee the numbers to Serafino by 16 October; hence entries will close on 15 October. Any entries received after 15 October can enjoy the run, enjoy the facilities and the company but there will be no meal provided. Guarantee – what does it mean? Once we have confirmed the numbers by October 16 that is what the club will pay for regardless of entries withdraw- ing. As we must pay for the meals re- gardless there will be no refunds To be a part of this year’s run please complete the attached Entry Form and send it in with a self-addressed and stamped envelope and I will send back your acceptance advice with your Plaque Number, the quicker you do the lower the number! Can I suggest that you make your own decision as to where you intend fixing the plaque, do not cover up the front number plate though. We’ll have a sup- ply of cable ties at the check in desk.
