On this dreich morning!
Just a few things to let you know about for May.
Entries for the Caly100 event in September open soon. There will be an ad in the May SF mag with entries for Caledonian members opening on May 8 & for others on May 15. Places are limited so please book early. Check FB for details next week & the website for the booking form.
Entries for the Glamis show close on May 16 . This is our main show & a really good event so please get your entries in , NOW!
One run in May to Glencoe, on the 21st. Great roads & scenery, will be a great day. Entry details on the website.
Those of you on FB may have seen my post this morning re volunteers. If you haven’t then here is it…….
Those of you who are MGCC members will be aware that there is a big push on for volunteers to help Centres & Registers & events all over the country. The shortage of and need for volunteers is not unique to the MGCC as it is increasingly difficult to get people to take responsibility for all sorts of volunteer run organisations, and the Caledonian Centre is similarly affected.
For many years we have held Committee meetings in person in Airdrie with some folk travelling from Ayrshire, the Borders & Edinburgh to get there but perhaps one of the benefits of lock down has been to demonstrate the benefits of Zoom meetings!. We need more committee people ( it is actually good fun!) & we need assistance to plan, set up & run shows. If you think you could help or would like more info then please get in touch. Your Centre needs you!
And finally I have an MGF Trophy , in anthracite, for sale. Complete but needing work. If interested then get in touch.
And for those of you with a ZED car I’m selling a registration MG02 ZMG presently on retention.
That’s all for now.

April Advisories
Just a few things to update you with.
There is a good entry already for the April one day run but a few spaces are still available. Please book by April 16 through the website.
Show season will soon be upon us….
Thirlestane entries must be in by April 28
and
and
Glamis entries must be in by May 16
PLEASE DO NOT DELAY!
And just a little update on last week’s AGM
Jim Greenhill & Peter Chalmers both came off the committee after several years of service, thank you!
And I came off after more years than I can remember to be replaced as Chairman by our present Webmaster , Willy Scott. I wish him well!
One thing that has been suggested is arranging informal get togethers in various parts of the country. Idea is to meet up perhaps at a Garden Centre or Hotel or Garage for a coffee & chat & a general look at each other’s cars, probably on a weekend day or perhaps a weekday evening.
Areas might be Borders, Fife, Inverness, Glasgow , Edinburgh or whatever you suggest. If you might be interested in looking at or organising such an event please let me know.
That’s all for now.
