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.
NOTE DATE CHANGE DUE TO THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY! Our next monthly meeting will be held on Zoom on November 18. The program for the evening will be a presentation by John Bowyer on the restoration of TC 6849. John will show photos and describe the process to return what was once a parts chassis to the road as a fully complete TC!
Those who drive their TC 10 miles or more on the day of the meeting will receive a point toward the Sargent Award.
