Dear Member,

Some of us Southerners had the idea to have a mid-winter get together. (“Northerners” are more than welcome).

We therefore invite you, your family and friends to attend The Water Tower, 160 Park Lane, Tilehurst, Reading, Berkshire, RG31 4DU at 17:00 on Sunday 26th January for a light dinner.

We will also present the Awards that people couldn’t collect at the National Lunch.

The timetable is as follows:

 17:00 Arrival at The Water Tower

 17:30 Presentation of awards

 18:00 Dinner

To keep it simple we will all pay for our own food and drinks on the evening.

Please confirm your attendance to John Egan – john.egan@ntlworld.com or 07885 861762.

A set of DRAFT Target Times have been published. We encourage competitors to check the information and report back any issues.

We have accepted an invitation to the Bentley Drivers Club organised sprint at Mallory Park on Saturday 26th April, 2025. This will not be part of our Championship. However, given how popular it was in the past, if the feedback is positive, we could add it as a Championship round for 2026.

Full details to follow.

The MG Car Club Speed Championship is still looking for a new coordinator. The coordinator controls all aspects of the Speed Championship. Typical tasks include:

• Applying to MSUK for the ‘Championship Permit’, having submitted our Regulations for their approval
• Contacting and liaising with meeting organisers, to build an appropriate Championship calendar
• Dealing with Championship registrations and handling queries form existing and potential competitors
• Writing the monthly half page report for ‘Safety Fast’
• Helping the North Western Centre with the organisation of the end of season Awards Presentation

You’ll be well supported in the role. Paul will lead during the remainder of the 2024 season and into 2025, with the new coordinator shadowing him, whilst slowly taking over responsibilities. Helen will continue to prepare and publish the Championship results and I’ll offer admin, technical support and maintenance of the web site.

Please note, the coordinator cannot be a current competitor and must be a member of the MG Car Club.

If you’d like any further information on the role, then please get in touch with Paul at paul.goodman7@ntlworld.com
