Minutes of the General Meeting
Photos by David and Joyce Edgar

Another rainy night but the faithful Guild members showed up as did our guest speaker John Seim. Ron began our meeting and went through the mail bag with the usual items in it. Ron went on to mention the recent sell off of MG racing division items in a auction (see article on page 5).

Minutes of the February meeting were in the last Midget Chassis and were accepted as printed there. Joyce listed our current total funds at $7,228.37. $3,440.49 of that is earmarked for budget items so leaves $3,787.88 left over as available. She went on to say we had 94 members renewed at present (tonight being the deadline to be included in the next directory). Have not heard from 17 members including Call, Coleman, & Einhorn. Don Mclish was present at the meeting tonight and rejoined the Guild after a years absence.

Tonight we have John Seims speaking on the TC's engine oiling system. April will be our Hobby Night. May might be a talk on paint and June will be on wire wheels (originally scheduled back in February but postponed due to speaker's illness).
     As far as events go the tour up the Angeles Crest last Saturday was quite exciting with all the snow up there (see report on page 10). April will be a joint TCMG/VMG tour possibly to the Will Rogers museum (see correction below). Should have a Wildflower Tour in early May and Cherry Picking in mid June. Once George Kershaw arrived (after several hours on the wet freeways) we got straightened out on the joint tour. It will be April 22nd. and will go through the Hollywood Hills and end up at Bob's Big Boy in Burbank. Holiday Party plans are progressing and is on Sunday, Dec. 3rd this year. Stan Belland reminded us of the LA Concours on May 21. So far we have a group of 5 TC's (Belland, Henderson, Ludwick, Olson and Simon) plus Gene Roth may bring a Tickford.

John Seims holds up part of the oil line famous for failing and tells of his remedy.

With no further business we adjourned the business part of the meeting to break for refreshments, courtesy of Esther Belland. Thank you Ester.

After the break Tony Henkels called out the raffle numbers and we then turned over the floor to John Seims to enlighten us on aspects of the TC engine lubrication system.
