TCMG Mourns The Loss Of Toni Appell

With a deep sense of loss, we are saddened to report the passing of Toni Appell, a long time member and caring friend to all who were fortunate enough to meet her.  Mel and Toni spent many years touring in their TC and frequenting club meetings, always with a smile and a good story to tell.  They joined TCMG in 1990 and soon became stalwarts of the club.  Her positive and caring personality was infectious, and she will be dearly missed.

Services will be held on Sunday, February 7.  Due to Covid restrictions, the service will be broadcast on Zoom for general attendance.  See the group email list for details.

First TCMG Online Tech Session Held

A tech session on carburetor issues was held in January on the Zoom application, and is available for viewing by TCMG members.  Check the group email list for instructions on how to view, or contact Steve Simmons.
 

Our general meeting on March 23 meeting will be held online using the Zoom application.  The meeting will begin at 6:00 PM Pacific Time. (You can log on starting at 5:45 PM).  You can participate using any computer or device with the free Zoom software installed.  If you require assistance installing Zoom, contact Steve Simmons or David Edgar.

The evening’s program will be a model TC contest.  Make one of the Moss Motors paper models and have it ready to display at the meeting, or send Joyce photos of it at least two days prior to the meeting.  The model is available for download (print it at home) by clicking here. (Link NLA)

Note that anyone making a simulated journey to the meeting in their TC by driving a minimum of 10 miles on the day of the meeting will receive a point toward the Sargent Award.

February recap: 29 Members attended our February meeting.  Six TCs were driven a simulated trip to the meeting of 10 miles or more.  Those who drove were Hunsberger, Jones, Lemieux, Loe, Simmons and Zucca

The wildflower tour returns for 2021!  On Saturday, March 20 our adventure will take us on a scenic tour to the California Poppy Reserves in Lancaster.  The blooms look to be sparse this year, but we will still enjoy the driving tour and a picnic lunch at a nearby nature park.

Gather at 9:30 AM at the Castaic McDonald’s at the Lake Hughes off ramp from the 5 Freeway. Our destination will be the Arthur B. Ripley Woodland State Park where we will have a picnic lunch. Participants should bring their lunch and portable chairs to facilitate social distancing during lunch.

February Recap: 16 members took part in our Lame Duk Kup event, which was held online due to Covid concerns.  Five TCs made a simulated journey of at least 10 miles, and were driven by Edgar, Hunsberger, Loe, Simmons and Thelander.  Congratulations to John Bowyer for winning the Lame Duk Contest!

Bring a picnic and we will gather in the MG section around 11:30 and enjoy seeing one other while observing social distancing guidelines.

There is a pre registration form on their website or you can register as you arrive. If you do not plan to enter a car in the show, park in the public parking area and walk in at no charge.This will be our first in-person event since March when we toured the Lanterman House. It seems so long ago. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this annual meet will be held as scheduled. If the organizers decide to cancel, I will send a group email with an alternate tour. Either way, stay safe and enjoy your MG. – Richard Loe, TCMG Events Chair 2020

Our September event is the Queen’s English Car Meet and Auto Jumble on Sunday the 27th at Woodley Park in Van Nuys from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The gates open for participants at 8:00 AM. Bring a picnic and we will gather in the MG section around 11:30 and enjoy seeing one other while observing social distancing guidelines.

There is a pre registration form on their website or you can register as you arrive. If you do not plan to enter a car in the show, park in the public parking area and walk in at no charge.This will be our first in-person event since March when we toured the Lanterman House. It seems so long ago. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this annual meet will be held as scheduled. If the organizers decide to cancel, I will send a group email with an alternate tour. Either way, stay safe and enjoy your MG. – Richard Loe, TCMG Events Chair 2020

August Recap: 12 TCs and 4 moderns participated in our July “Historical Hunt” event.  Those who brought out their TCs were: Chalmers, Edgar, Eicher, Einhorn, Hanes, Hunsberger, Loe, Ockwell, Simmons, Williams, Wright and Zucca.

August Meeting Is Now Online

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

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 general meeting August 25 has been changed from in-person to online.
  See below for details.
• The Einhorn hot dog party in August has been cancelled, and a social distancing event has taken its place. See the Calendar Page for details.

Other upcoming activities may also be postponed or cancelled depending on what happens with the continued virus situation. Check this website for the latest updates and status of other upcoming TCMG activities.

 

Our meeting on August 25th will be held online using the Zoom application.  The meeting will begin at 6:00 PM PDT.  You can participate using any computer or device with the free Zoom software installed.  If you require assistance installing Zoom, contact Steve Simmons or David Edgar.

The evening’s program is “Shared Memories”.  Everyone can participate in sending a photo (please ID people in photo if possible, approximate date and location/event). The photos selected are meant to stimulate memories for everyone, whether it is of the same event or of something similar they also attended. If you wish to share one of your memories or favorite photo or of a recent photo with a grandchild in the car, please send to Joyce Edgar by August 20, 2020 via email.

We can digitize a printed photo or slide if you want to send an original media (we will return the item), just send early as they take significantly more time for use to utilize.

Note that anyone making a simulated journey to the meeting in their TC by driving a minimum of 10 miles on the day of the meeting will receive a point toward the Sargent Award.

June recap: 31 members attended our July virtual (online) meeting.  Five TCs drove a “simulated journey” to the meeting.  Those TCs were driven by Edgar, Hunsberger, Loe, Simmons and Zucca.

For more meeting and event information, visit the Calendar Page.

 

Our August “social distancing” event will be a self guided drive in your TC between August 1st and the 16th. The weather is perfect for an evening toot to your favorite local restaurant. You may not feel comfortable stopping to eat, but take a picture with your TC in front and submit it with a short paragraph explaining why it is your “go to” eating place. It could be because it is the popular neighborhood hangout or maybe it’s a hole-in-the-wall with excellent food.

To participate, email your photo and description to newsletter editor David Edgar by August 16th.  To qualify for Sargent points, you are on your honor to drive your TC at least 10 miles and to submit an unaltered photograph with your paragraph.

July Recap: 13 TCs participated in our July “Historical Hunt” event.  Those who brought out their TCs were: Chalmers, Eicher, Edgar, Einhorn, Hunsberger, Lemieux, Loe, Page, Pulver, Simmons, Spiegel, Sullivan and Zucca.

For more meeting and event information, visit the Calendar Page.

 

Our “Do it yourself” event for July is to drive to any local major or minor historical marker or site, photograph your TC at the site, and submit the photo along with a brief written description of the significance of the location (paragraph of no more than 150 words) for inclusion in the newsletter. Try to find a location with some sort of British connection, but anything will do since likely there are not many British related historical sites on the West coast. Perhaps our East coast members will be more likely to find something with a British tie. The intent is to drive your TC, get out of your house practicing social distancing, and inform other members about your area while staying within 20 miles of your home.  Please complete this task by July 12th and email your photo and paragraph to David Edgar.

June Recap: 11 TCs participated in our June scavenger hunt event.  Those who brought out their TCs were: Appell, Edgar, Einhorn, Hunsberger, Lemieux, Loe, Ockwell, Rocca, Simmons, Thelander and Zucca.

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

The official TCMG event for June is a British themed scavenger hunt in your neighborhood. Be creative and have fun. Driving your TC find three British places or things. For example a pub/restaurant, a British auto repair shop, a British car, or British themed street sign and take a photo including your car.

If such places are not readily available in your area, drive your TC to a scenic spot and set up your own scenario. Use your imagination and stage three photos with your car that say British to you. It could include Mike Sherrell’s book, a cup of tea, or the Union Jack. Surprise us.

You need to complete this adventure and submit your three photos to David Edgar, newsletter editor, by June 14th.

The intent is to exercise your TC, stay close to home, have fun thinking British, and reminisce about past TCMG events. If you complete these tasks driving your TC you will earn two Earl Sargent points.

May Recap: 11 TCs participated in our May “Do It Yourself Tour” event.  Those who brought out their TCs were: Appell, Chalmers, Edgar, Larson, Lemieux, Loe, Rocca, Simmons, Spiegel, Thelander and Zucca.

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

May Event Announced

Since the current virus situation prevents us from holding a traditional driving event, a do-it-yourself event has been announced for May.  See below for details.

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.

• The Double Day event in early May has been cancelled.
• Our general meeting on May 26 may be cancelled, depending on Covid-19 developments.  Check back for more information.
• The Autry Museum is currently closed for an indefinite amount of time.  Therefore our planned tour of the museum on May 30 is cancelled.

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.

GoF West Cancelled

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 Oregon this Summer to attend has also been cancelled.  The event will take place in the same location in 2021.

Conclave Dates Announced

The 64th Annual TCMG / ARR Conclave will be held October 3-5 (Saturday through Monday), and will be hosted this year by ARR. The location is not yet announced.

 

NOTE: Due to Covid-19 concerns, the May meeting is tentative and may be cancelled.  Please check back for the latest updates.

Did you know that our own Larry Einhorn was once a TV host?  At our meeting on May 26, watch an episode of his show “Good Eats” and hear commentary from Larry about what it took to film a show where the host got to eat his way to stardom!

February recap: 16 members and guests attended our February Meeting.  Three TCs were present, driven by Lemieux, Simmons and Loe.

For more meeting and event information, visit the Calendar Page.

 

Due to our current restrictions and in an effort to ease back into TCMG activities, this month (May) we will have a “Drive Your TC” event.  You simply drive your TC a minimum of 10 miles and take a photo of it at a local landmark (could be your trip to the PO or market).  Then submit that photo by May 17th to David Edgar for the next newsletter. The advantage to this unusual event is that any member anywhere can participate while following social distancing practices.

Since this is an official TCMG event, Sargent points will be awarded if you drive your TC. There is no rule about where those events have to be, or how they are to be run. So this is an opportunity for you to be creative, exercise your TC, and earn Sargent points no matter where you live.

For those that would like to participate, but cannot get out in your TC, send a photo showing us what you are up to.

March Recap: 17 members and guests took part in our March event to Lanterman House.  Three TCs were present, driven by Lemieux, Simmons and Loe.
