Gold Coast MG Car Club Centenary Badge
The Gold Coast MGCC has produced a limited edition Centenary car badge to celebrate one hundred years since the first six MG sports cars were produced.
It is believed that one of these cars (painted yellow) was sold to Oliver Arkell for three hundred pounds and we have represented that car in the badge.
These are available to buy for a limited time for $60.00 each plus $10.00 postage.
If you're interested, please contact Allan Ross (Regalia, Gold Coast MG Car Club) at mg54tf@gmail.com.

2022 (Delayed) MG CC Hunter Region Concours
The 2022 Concours was unfortunately delayed due to inclement weather conditions and poor ground conditions until Sunday 22nd of January 2023.
Although it was intermittent raining the grounds were still quite hard and we had the Council approval to proceed.
Regrettably the officials scoring of the presented cars on the day were saturated wet after completing their respective tasks. Nonetheless the wet scoring sheets could be read by the counting officials and results can be seen in this magazine.
The following pictorial record is presented for information.
Modern MGF and TF display starting to build.
MGB and MGB GT display area starting to build.

2022 Concours Results
The rollout for the 2022 Concours (yes, held in Jan 2023 - our attempts last year were beset by flooding) was great for yet another wet event day. Congratulations to all folk who brought their cars today, and to the Committee and Members who make these events possible. Well done everyone!

Historic & Classic Vehicles Log Book Fact Sheet
Dear car club organisations and representatives
Transport for NSW is pleased to share with you the historic and classic vehicle log book and club runs fact sheet.
<View Here on the MGCC HR Website>
The fact sheet has been created to address some of the frequently asked questions from car club members about the log book.
Please share the fact sheet with your members and contacts.
The fact sheet has come about thanks to feedback from the Historic and Classic Working Group with representatives from NSW Police, the Council of Heritage Motor Clubs, the Council of Motor Clubs, the NSW Historic Motoring Association, the Motorcycle Council of NSW, the National Historic Machinery Association and the Australian Confederation of Motor Clubs.
We look forward to continuing to work with industry representatives to give car clubs and members the information they need.
We’d also like to encourage all organisation and car club members to sign up to receive DRIVE, our quarterly newsletter for road safety and regulation updates. The latest edition of DRIVE features an article about the Shannons Sydney Classic at Eastern Creek NSW, where many historic and classic vehicles were on display.
Kind regards,
