TRAILER STOREAGE WANTED PLEASE.-EASTER 2010.

During the National Meeting next Easter there is a need to find members able to provide space for parking trailers (and possibly tow cars) for some of our interstate visitors in the days leading up to and during the event.
An area fairly close to the South Eastern Freeway between Hahndorf and Stirling would be  ideal, however other locations on main roads would be great as well.
If you can help could you give Mike Greenwood a ring or an email, details at the front of the magazine. Thanks

MG NATIONAL MEETING 2010

ADELAIDE

SOUTH AUSTRALIA

A FUN SOCIAL EVENING
From..Bev Waters

The 2010 MG National Meeting is fast approaching, and I hope that the members of the SA Club have got behind this event and supported it where they can either as participants or volunteers

It has been nearly two years in the planning by the organizing Committee and it is hoped that you the members are participating in the spirit of the event and getting behind your Club, as it is on display over Easter to our Interstate and Overseas visitors.

Volunteering for half a day over the weekend is not a lot to ask of our members to ensure the event runs smoothly. 

Our visitors include Paul Plummer, the new Overseas Director from the MGCC UK Kimber House, and Stewart Penfound of the MGCC UK TABC & Specials Registrar, & T Register.

Social Event: Saturday 3rd April

As part of the Social activities over the Easter weekend, members who have not registered may wish to attend the Saturday night Social Function.

ROCKER COVER RACING

A Rocker Cover Racing event will be conducted at the 2010 Nat Meet at the noggin n natter on the Friday evening at the Shores Centre.

While not very many of our members have joined in this event in the past it is enthusiastically followed by quite a lot of interstate club members, so now is the time to start constructing and give our visitors some local competition.

Here are some photos of racers at the Geelong Nat Meet in Easter, apart from the basic guidelines that must be adhered to, shown here, the actual design is only limited by your imagination and engineering skill.

Click for Rocker Cover Racing Guidelines

The racers have to run true and straight and not be upset when they transition from the inclined ramp to the level floor, some have suspension but most don’t.

We will be getting the official ramp from Melbourne, hopefully in November, so we will need to find a venue where the racers can be tested, that is assuming that some of you members get busy and make your racers.

Allan Semmler has agreed to co-ordinate and conduct the event on the Noggin N Natter Night, for pointers on constructing a racer contact Lindsay Caffin on 8242 4141 he ran one at Geelong.

 

 

2010 NATMEET UPDATE

GREAT NEWS - JUNE 2009

As a result of the untiring efforts of John Kemp the NATMEET Committee has managed to secure ELDER PARK as the venue for the NATIONAL MEETING CONCOURS EASTER 2010..
John has spent considerable time and effort in securing this venue which will enable the MGCCSA to showcase the MG Marque close to the centre of the city.
John and I spent considerable time meeting with the Adelaide City Council and I would like to express our thanks to Leeza Peters of the ACC who championed our cause with the council with her report.
 Not only is this venue the premier site in Adelaide to display MG motor cars from all states of Australia but it gives visitors easy access to the North Terrace Precint as well as  a short boat ride to the Adelaide Zoo to view the new Panda Exhibit
Of necessity we are required to meet strict ACC council requirements in relation to traffic control and risk mitigation and so  I will be looking for volunteers to help run this event
