Dave Coleman, Vice President, called the
meeting to order at 8:10 pm. President Steve Simmons is out of
town on business.
We had one guest, Rick Schweiner, who is restoring a 1953 TD.
In Joyce Edgar's absence, Ron Simon presented the treasurer's
report.
We have 112 members 14 of whom are associates. The checkbook
balance is $6455.06 with $746 to be deposited.
The minutes were read by Fran Thelander and approved.
Ron Simon reported on the British Car Malibu tour on Labor Day.
Unfortunately
he followed a group who took a wrong turn and didn't finish.
Pete Thelander reported on the Mini GoF at Big Bear Lake. Thirty
couples attended, 13 drove MGs. It was a low key event with a
pizza party on Friday evening, a tour on Saturday and a dinner
and a very entertaining 'MG White Elephant" auction on Saturday
evening. There wasn't a car show nor were any prizes awarded.
But there was lots of socializing. This was also an opportunity
to look over the Northwoods Inn as a venue for the GoF West in
2010 and it is very promising.

his Lincoln at Pebble Beach in August. 
The audience was small
but attentive........
The Thelanders were
fascinated........
Dave Coleman thought
