Graham Clarke has kindly given the webmaster a number of early MG Car Club photographs, for a number of members a bit of reminiscing!
Graham holds club membership Number 86, having joined the Car Club in 1956.
Below are some historic photos of the work done to create Lanac Park, some of the members enjoying themselves and Graham in his TC competing at Lanac Park and at Port Wakefield
Not to mention the tragic finale!
