  70th Annual Conclave Announced

  As we wrap up the 2025 TCMG / ARR Conclave, plans for next year’s 70th annual gathering are already taking shape. The event will be held at the site of our first Conclave in 1957, in the city of San Luis Obispo. Special plans are being made to honor the 70 year history of this great event, to be announced when they are finalized.

  Two of TC Motoring Guild’s Earliest Members Pass

  

  Jim Crandall

  Jim Crandall

  Jim was one of our longest term members. He joined in 1961 and along with his wife Norma was a vital part of our club since day one. Looking through our old photos and newsletters, he and his wife Norma were always there, along with their TC which remains in the family today. He and Norma were a driving force in many of the Guild’s activities, with Jim serving in various roles including President, Vice President, Treasurer, Director, Events Coordinator, Newsletter Editor and Webmaster. We will miss him dearly.

   
   

  Mike Goodman

  

  Mike & Sharon Goodman

  Mike was a legend in the M.G. community and probably kept more TCs on the road than anyone over the years. He joined TCMG in 1964 and over the decades never hesitated to offer assistance or advice to those in need. He served many roles in the club including Vice President, Treasurer, Programs Chair, Events Chair and Director, in addition to his unofficial role as “M.G. Guru and Free Advice Giver”. Mike and Sharon opened their home more than once for our holiday parties. The club will not be the same without Mike.

   

  

  The 2025 TCMG Holiday Party will take place on December 20 at the Simmons residence. Join us and enjoy the following entertainment and activities:

  • Awards ceremonies for our three prestigious trophies:
    • Earl Sargent Memorial “Use it or lose it” Trophy
    • Frank Mason Award
    • Breakdown Award
  • Announcement of the 2026 TC Motoring Guild Executive Council.
  • Auctioning of “The Brick”. This is a piece of the original Abingdon factory where our TCs were built. The winning bid takes the brick home for one year.
  • Special ladies’ prize
  • TCMG-related video presentation
  • 50/50 raffle
  • Slide show of 2025 TCMG tours.
  • Tool drive / fundraiser to benefit DSF Werks, an inter-generational community that provides workplace experiences, skills development and mentorship for under-served young adults and emancipated foster youth. Mentors are partnered with these young adults to teach them skills related to classic car restoration and media arts, providing them with hands-on training and life skills, offering community, hope and a brighter future. The vehicle restoration program offers apprentices step-by-step instruction through a comprehensive restoration and repair curriculum from professional technicians, including mechanics, electrical wiring, auto body repair, upholstery, business management and much more. DSF Werks is a 501(C)(3) Organization.
  • … and more!

  Remember, those who drive a TC to the meeting will receive a point toward the Sargent Award, and bragging rights for being in the TC lineup at the entrance!

  Further details including schedule and RSVP information are forthcoming.
