Hi All
Over the past ten years I have thoroughly enjoyed our drives with the MG car club through the Hunter Valley and surrounding areas and have to admit until we joined the club Lyn and I did not even realise we had such gorgeous countryside. However I do get twinges of envy when I read the British or European MG magazine articles about runs through beautiful countryside ending up at Castles or historic homes. It is a dream of mine that one day Lyn and I will fly to Europe, hire an MG and experience these wonderful drives.
Last weekend Lyn and I discovered our own Manor house right here in Australia situated on the outskirts of Bathurst - Abercrombie House built 1820. We called in and introduced ourselves to the owners who then invited our club for a private viewing of their beautiful historic home during the June long weekend then serve us with a Devonshire tea. Read more about the June Long Weekend on Lyn's social page.
I am really happy to see that we are increasing our membership each month. This month we welcome new member Arthur Nicholls who currently has one and a half MGB's
Our Club Captain Colin Dunne has now set his runs for the year and I really like his new concept of an extra Saturday evening run calling it a “fish and chip” run. Check out Colins article for more details.
Its good to see such a good attendance for our midweek runs. Thanks to Neville and Roz Roals, however they have asked if members would phone before attending as they need numbers for catering.
Just a reminder for members to come along on the 10th of February Club night to greet our guest speaker Radley White from Duco Tech.
Our Vice President Peter Currie has called for a working Bee on Saturday 31st March between 8am and 12 noon. This is to tidy up the club house and container. Bacon & egg rolls will be supplied for all worker.
Our web page is looking very smart thanks to Julie Tipper and Peter Brown who are tirelessly bringing it up to date. Well done to both of you. If you haven't checked the web page out lately, now is the time to do so.
We are holding a Motorkhana at Wilson's car park, Wickham on the 24th of March at 9:30am start. This event is open to all members. Helpers are always appreciated.
