Mark your calendars and start making reservations for our next Wine Cheese Beer Tour - This year we will be touring the fabulous MG roads of Wisconsin and stopping for each activity of the Tour's namesake. It is NEVER too early to make reservations and we stress this now as our Saturday night block is quite small but rooms can be booked outside the block, while available, at same rates.

LaQuinta Inn & Suites at Rockford, IL. Block is under "Chicagoland MG Club" at $90
Located at 7401 Walton St., Rockford — Phone: 815-227-1300

Saturday, Sept 23 - Spring Green Motel in (of all places) Spring Green, Wisconsin
Also under "Chicagoland MG Club" - book a room even if the block is gone.

An MG in the Marina Towers Steve Alcantara posted a very interesting photo on the Chicagoland MG Club’s Facebook page. (Steve is one of the very, very early CMGC members and is the designer of the Chicago skyline logo, still in use today) The photo, in black-and-white, shows a MG, driving down in one of the Marina Towers in Chicago. There are several early sixties American cars backed into the parking places on the first five visible floors. The first open floor above that shows the MG nicely positioned between the pillars. Almost too nice of a shot to be a coincidence, isn’t it? Someone I showed the photo suggested that it was Spike Tracy but his whereabouts, to get confirmation, are unknown. Does anyone have information on this unique photo? Please send it to me or directly to Greg and Victor, if it is ready to be published in one of the next issues. Thanks and MGreetings, Reinout
