June Meeting Is Now Online

Our June meeting has been moved online in order to comply with COVID-19 social distancing regulations.  See below for details.

Gene Roth Remembered

We are deeply saddened to report the passing of Gene Roth, a 37-year TCMG member and avid M.G. enthusiast.  He passed away on April 20 with his daughter by his side.  Most of our members either knew Gene personally or by way of email.  He was a wealth of information and gladly shared his knowledge with anyone who asked.  With only one arm, he restored his supercharged TC to show winning condition.  And win it did, perhaps more often than any other and most often after driving several hundred miles through the desert to get to a car show.  His kindness and enthusiasm was infectious to say the least.

Gene and his wife Deana were very active members in the club, and could be spotted each year at our annual Conclaves, GoF West and other M.G.-related events around the Western states.  In his TC, Gene could out-drive most people on a windy mountain road despite having only one arm to both steer and shift with.  His life was an interesting one, part of which can be read on pages 6-7 of the September 2018 TCMG newsletter.  More stories about Gene will be found in the next issue this Summer.

“In ‘82 Mike Goodman invited me to join the TC Motoring Guild . That was one of the best things that ever happened to me . We have met and made some of our best friends through our association with the TC Motoring Guild .” – Gene Roth

Upcoming Activity Cancellations

Because the safety of our members is our primary concern, several of our planned upcoming activities have been cancelled due to concerns over the COVID-19 virus.

  • Our annual picnic at the Henkels home on June 23 has been cancelled.  The meeting will now be held online.
  • The organizers of GoF West has announced that due to Covid-19 concerns, the event will be cancelled for this year.  Therefore our planned trip to Oregon this Summer to attend has also been cancelled.  The event will take place in the same location in 2021.

Other upcoming activities may also be postponed or cancelled depending on what happens with the Covid-19 virus situation we’re experiencing.  Check this website for the latest updates and status of other upcoming TCMG activities.

Conclave Dates and Location Announced

The 64th Annual TCMG / ARR Conclave will be held October 3-5 (Saturday through Monday), in San Luis Obispo.  It will be hosted this year by ARR.  More information is forthcoming.
