September 26, 2006 Minutes of the General Meeting Photos by Dave Edgar

Our meeting this month took place during the much anticipated Simon Movie Night. The early arrivals came at 7:00 to look over all the beautiful cars and movie props at the Simon museum, which is actually called Cornwell & Sheridan Classic Cars. It also gave us a chance to visit with each other as well and catch up.   Ron called the meeting to order somewhere around 8:00. Usual items were in the mail bag. Minutes of last meeting were accepted as printed in the Midget Chassis and Joyce then gave her treasures report. We gained another new advertiser in the newsletter, Kavanaugh Motors in Sherman Oaks, who spoke at a previous meeting. They offer a full range of maintenance and repair for all vehicles, including MG TC. LEFT: Gorden Bundy and David Coleman check out the Russian motorcycle and side car. RIGHT: David & June Simon's TC Lloyd made a request for $25 from the budget to be allocated for a prize for next month's Halloween Potluck. The motion was not only passed, but the amount was raised to $50 by an enthusiastic crowd. Not entirely coincidently, these were the same people who will be competing for the prize! Apparently, the going price to make the biggest fool of one's self by dressing in costume is more this year than last. Lloyd also noted that November is still open for a meeting program so send any ideas you have. The meeting for December is our Annual Meeting and Holiday Party. Gene Olson has planned a trip to the Kinetic Races in Oxnard at the end of October. December 3rd is of course the Holiday Party. There was no mention of any events in November. David Edgar spoke on the ongoing legal issue with the poem author, with comments made by members in attendance. A vote was passed which would offer $200 to the author in exchange for dropping the threat of a law suit against our club. LEFT: David & June Simon, who graciously opened their collection to the Guild for the meeting. Thank You ! ! ! CENTER: It was announced that Dave Coleman was officially retired Congratulations David.
