Let's drive our cars (MGs, that is!) to these meetings. We'll try to park together so we can "show" our LBCs and "tell" each other about them - especially if any recent repairs and / or modifications (i.e., improvements) have been made. We can spend time with the cars outside before the meeting starts, and then again outside after the meeting concludes (since these months have maximum daylight).

While we are inside, after the business part of the meeting ends, we can still have a "Show and Tell" - with any replacement or replaced parts and / or special tools (bought or made) that will be or have been used. Since not all Club members can attend the Tune-Up or Tune-Down clinics, during these meeting nights they will have a chance to see and learn about other members' MGs.

When you arrive at these monthly meetings, park your MG behind, or to the south of, the restaurant - not in the north end of the lot near the drive-through entrance, so that area is kept clear.

And - don't forget to bring some CMGC bi-folds / trifolds, as some other restaurant customers might be curious and wander out to talk with us about MGs.

Safety Fast!
