GOF 2013 01a Title   - the Wagga Wagga MG Car Club has again conducted another successful gathering. As the image shows the GoF highlights the 60th anniversary of our Magnettes. The Magnette entrants came a day earlier to attend a special Z Type 60th Dinner on the 12th Sept. Peter Baldry and Paul Vermont provided further information on the night and sold all the available Anniversary Grill badges.

Magnette60 9-11 August

This was the main Register event of 2013, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Z Magnette launch. For more than a year a small sub-committee (Paul Batho, David Halliday, Grant Howlett, Trevor Jones, Peter Martin and Stephen Tickell) had been meeting in London pubs to plan the event. The format chosen was similar to the successful Gerald Palmer centenary weekend in 2011 (GP100)

Norwich weekend 3-4 August

Compared to previous years, attendance at the Shorten’s in Lenwade was obviously boosted by the early arrival of overseas visitors for the 60th, with the furthest travelled almost certainly being Peter and Jane Yarham from New Zealand .

AGM and AWC show - 7 July

The AGM at Kimber House on 7 July wasn’t particularly well supported, hopefully just because the membership are entirely happy with the present committee and how the Register is being run - we’d still like you to turn up though and tell us that ! Could also be that the Abingdon Works Centre show with which we had intentionally coincided was a stronger draw, given the warm weather .

Of the Y and Magnettes we had one Y Type, four Z Type Magnettes [Patricks Red ZA arrived after this photo] and one Mk III Magnette
