Cover Story An evening at Chesters

A pleasant summer’s evening of good company in an idyllic setting that would be

very hard to surpass anywhere on this planet. The good company, members and

friends of the MG Car club, enjoying an evening B. B. Q. in a garden setting

comparable to an English genteel magazine after a fun day at Penguin motorkhana.

The one endearing factor that put this in to the Australian back yard is, the “girls” at

one end with the “blokes” well and truly at the opposite end of proceedings while

things are getting underway, thankfully companionship was attained to consume the

products of the B.B.Q?

And now the good bit, the idyllic setting, a Mews or car enclosure that would put

most collections and museums in an envious position, if not in quantity but the

quality of the cars has to be seen to be believed, there is even an MG in company

with some true traditional automotive hierarchy

Rocker Cover Racing Competitors and Fans.

Friday 30th March at Noggin “N” Natter Evening – Racing commencing at approx. 7.30 pm

The Committee of the 2018 MG National Meeting encourages every attendee to bring

their Rocker Cover Racer to run on what we believe to be fastest track ever. If you think

you have the fastest, then now is the time to find out.

The heat winners will be decided by an electronic system which will eliminate any dodgy

judging. Racers will run the best of three heats with the winner moving on to the next

heat.

If you don’t have a racer, then try to beg, borrow or steal one from a member who may

not be coming. If that doesn’t work, try building your own. Refer to the Rocker Cover

Race Rules or get advice from someone who has built one before. Entry is free.

Progressive results and video will be shown on a large screen. Racing can be viewed

from grandstand seating alongside the track.

Above all, we want this to be a lot of fun for all and barracking for your club will be

encouraged.

Presidents Report

Saturday, the Mustard Tart (TC MG), my favourite girl and a celebration with friends,

then the drive home at dusk that only those of us with open top cars can appreciate, the

smell of fresh cut hay, dew on gumtrees and the cackle of the exhaust, what more could

you want!

Sunday, the turn of the B, same favourite girl, wind in the hair, singing “Radar Love”, we

crest the hill and there’s a blue midget heading east towards us, with the drivers beard

blowing around his ears and the passengers huge grin, we waved to each other as we

passed by.

Surely only this delightful English marquee could give these wonderful feelings as we

exit 2017 and aim towards more of the same in 2018.

Isn’t it great to see all the events that our sub centres have planned for the next few

months!

Wow 388 registrations already for our Tasmanian National Meeting making us proud

and relieved that the efforts of the organising committee are starting to bear fruit.

Be reminded our committees are made up of volunteers who are working hard to

represent the whole of Tasmania, so let us all get behind them and make it a year to

remember.

If you’ve never attended a National Meeting before don’t miss it! Nat Meets are usually

great fun and entertaining both socially and competition wise.

Holding it in our own state can save your thousands of dollars in travelling costs and

unfortunately it may be out last. Nat Meet formats may have to change in the future as

problems of finding venues for events and MG centres willing to run them are not forth

coming.

You’ll never, never know ........if you never, never go!!!!!!!!!!

President Phil

Editors Notes

The Nat Meet is well represented in this month’s edition, I’m sure the Natmeet

committee would welcome any members willing to give a hand at the venues mentioned.

And many thanks to the magazine contributors

The running of the Annual Tasmanian Concours is also being reviewed with a number of

constructive ideas being put forward to date, members who may like to contribute with

ideas are asked to do so through the state committee at this stage, then if a separate

committee is put in place, members from the three sections can join a committee or put

forward relevant ideas. Suggestions already put forward include, when the concours is

run, in conjunction with other relevant events or not, time of year, classes, weighting of

categories, etc.

This may also be extended to all aspects of the club with members having an input

through your state committee.

Thank you to John Irving for his contributions to the magazine. Ed.

Club Meeting Details Every Tuesday Night at 8pm

Civic Club, 134 Davey Street, Hobart

Postal Address GPO Box 5, Hobart, Tas 7001

PAST EVENTS

14th

January – Poker Run, Dru Point.

The intention was to travel to Cygnet and on to Margate, but considering the Festival was

on that weekend and roads closed we decided on coffee at Woodbridge instead,

travelling there via Fern Tree, Longley and Margate returning from there to Dru Point for

the BBQ. After some confusion on the whereabouts of hut 4 we all eventually settled in

for a pleasant afternoon amongst good company. 25 participants left the Civic Club at

10.00am MG Time where the first card was dealt, 2nd

card at Longley Hotel, 3rd

card at

the Margate Heritage museum, 4th

card at the Woodbridge Hotel and the last one at our









Page 12

destination, Dru Point, Margate. Here we were joined by latecomers - Lyn C and Peter

Fitz at 1.15pm who came off the Ferry from Bruny – once the cooking had been

completed (but they did help with the cleanup).

After the skullduggery (card swapping) was sorted out it was congratulations to Kevin

and Irene McGuire who were pronounced the winners of the pot. Also those who had a

birthday in January received a box of chocolates compliments of the Southern Sub-

Centre, who also provided about $120.00 towards the cost of the meat.

Shane Manley received 2 fines: one for travelling too close to the car in front and the

other for cheating! Well done Shane. Thanks to chefs Robin Wilmot, Bob Leeson and

Rod Harris for a great barbecue and to those who donated a gold coin towards the hire of

the hut.

Club Meeting Details Second Thursday night of the Month:

6.00 pm for meal and social evening.

BASS FLINDERS Motel, Ulverstone

Penguin Motorkhana

Firstly we would like to thank all those who responded to our call in last months

magazine for officials and competitors for this trial event. On the day Bronwyn Zuber,

John James and Craig Twinning handled all the registrations and results, Geoff Dodge

was our scrutineer with Mike Wellman and Roger Richardson being assigned the job of

time keepers with Margaret and John Hartley also travelling through to assist. Margaret

Bannon, Susan Fraser and Sue Anne Midgley were on the food table. The three tests

chosen by Robin worked very well and will remain for the National meeting. We had

three female entries with all competing in MG’s and fifteen other entries of which eleven

were MG’s and one junior, Cameron Howie in the tRusty Toyota. At the end of the day it

was Demon Midgley in the ZR Bubble car that had the best time followed by a veteran of

motorsport in Peter Richards , competing in the Miedecke Special . Next is the real deal

and if this trial and the support it received is any guide then all’s going to go well.

Over there?

Or was up there?

The MG Car Club Canberra is once again staging MG TYme in October 2018. MG

TYme is a celebration of the MG Y and MG T types, however any MG is welcomed and

encouraged to attend and participate in the weekends festivities in the National Capital

and surrounds.

The event is planned to coincide with "Floriade" which is a magnificent floral event on

the National Calendar, as well as other seasonal activities.

The main display will again be held at one of Canberra's landmark venues which in itself

presents unique opportunities.

Exhaust notes

Thankfully the engine remained in place for the motorkhana, interesting to contemplate

how the car balance was compensated for on removal of the ballast though?

Exhaust Note –

You thought the lunar eclipse was a rare event, I believe there’s a similar mooning

looming!

Enquiries to Tony Lansdell and Robin Wilmot for details!!

(is Robin going to honour his bet?}

For Sale

The MG I would like to sell is a 1968 Mark2. It is in good condition and is mechanically

sound. It has electric overdrive, SI rego. I am not sure of the asking price but I would

think around $12,000 but I would accept advice on that or would be open to a reasonable

offer.

Regards. Peter Dart . 0400610752.

equipment is available should it be required during a club run.

SQUARE RIGGERS

All Pre War, T and Y Type MG’s.

Historic turn-ups always welcome to adorn this page, these belonging to the Saward

brothers then of Wynyard. The TD owned by Winston Saward for a year or two late

50s, looks very well presented. The chrome bonnet strips, stone guards and other

‘extras’ are very likely to ring bells? The new YT belonged to brother Bern and the

TC Jim. More history of these also is anticipated! Pictures courtesy Winston

Saward, details Tony Wilson
