Please welcome the newly elected 2020 TC Motoring Guild Executive Council! Your new Executive Officers are Steve Simmons, Curt Sorensen, Cliff Lemieux, Joyce Edgar, Toni Appell, Larry Einhorn and Sandra Loe.  Additional club chairs are currently operating as they did throughout 2019, and will change in January.  Thank you to everyone who gives their time to keep our club running smoothly!

Our congratulations also go out to the winners of the various TCMG awards for 2019:

• Frank Mason Award – Sandra Loe
• Earl Sargent memorial Trophy – Richard & Sandra Loe
• Iron Bottom – Richard & Sandra Loe
• Breakdown Award – Cliff Lemieux

To learn more about these awards, including the various ways the breakdown award has been won, see the History Section of the web site.

Iron Bottom Awarded for 2019

Having completed the year with a perfect attendance of TCMG activities with their TC, Richard & Sandra Loe have been presented the Iron Bottom Award for 2019. This achievement makes them 5-time recipients of this difficult to obtain award.  Congratulations!

New Regalia Item!

Dress up your engine bay with these exclusive TC Motoring Guild spark plug holders! Features raised logos on each side, one with the TCMG logo and the other the M.G. logo. Inspired by spare plug holders found on pre-war MGs, each unit holds four 1/2″ reach plugs. Also great as a decorative item for your desk or garage!  See the Regalia Page for more details.

Our next monthly meeting will be held on January 28 at our usual Studio City location.  The program for the evening is “Game Night”.  The crowd favorite returns with your award-winning (through cheating) host, Gene Olson!  Teams will compete for fabulous prizes (or not) by participating in another of Gene’s devious TC-related games.

December recap: 46 members and guests attended our December Annual Meeting and Holiday Party.  One TC braved the cold and rain, driven by the Loes.  Thanks to everyone who made the party a success!

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

TCMG Loses Two Cherished Members

We are saddened to report the passing of two members, Karen Pohle and Joe Marcotte.

Edwin & Karen Pohle

As reported by Allan Chalmers, Karen had Parkinsons and had been getting progressively worse for a few years. Ed and Karen had moved from Squaw Valley to Auburn recently and Karen had to go into a care facility.  As part of our Northern contingent, Ed and Karen have been regulars at our annual Conclaves for many years as well as long-time active members of the Abingdon Rough Riders.

Joe & Pat Marcotte

Also reported by Allan, Joe had gone into hospital the day after our annual meeting to do a fix on his knee replacement, and caught something that caused great breathing problems. He was on serious oxygen and finally the problem was too much for him. Also part of our Northern contingent, Joe and Pat have also regulars at our annual Conclaves for ages as well as long-time active members of the Abingdon Rough Riders.
 
Our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of both Karen and Joe.  They will be missed. 

Our next meeting will be held on May 28 at our usual location in Studio City.  TCMG member Joel Shapiro will be giving a talk about the restoration of his Vintage M.G.s.

April recap: 21 members and guests attended our April meeting, with three TCs parked outside driven by Loe, Einhorn and Simmons.  Thanks to Pete Thelander for an entertaining presentation on his many cars and restorations.

TCMG Loses Two Cherished Members

We are saddened to report the passing of two members, Karen Pohle and Joe Marcotte.

Edwin & Karen Pohle

As reported by Allan Chalmers, Karen had Parkinsons and had been getting progressively worse for a few years. Ed and Karen had moved from Squaw Valley to Auburn recently and Karen had to go into a care facility.  As part of our Northern contingent, Ed and Karen have been regulars at our annual Conclaves for many years as well as long-time active members of the Abingdon Rough Riders.

Joe & Pat Marcotte

Also reported by Allan, Joe had gone into hospital the day after our annual meeting to do a fix on his knee replacement, and caught something that caused great breathing problems. He was on serious oxygen and finally the problem was too much for him. Also part of our Northern contingent, Joe and Pat have also regulars at our annual Conclaves for ages as well as long-time active members of the Abingdon Rough Riders.
 
Our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of both Karen and Joe.  They will be missed. 

Our next meeting will be held on May 28 at our usual location in Studio City.  TCMG member Joel Shapiro will be giving a talk about the restoration of his Vintage M.G.s.

April recap: 21 members and guests attended our April meeting, with three TCs parked outside driven by Loe, Einhorn and Simmons.  Thanks to Pete Thelander for an entertaining presentation on his many cars and restorations.

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

Join us on Friday, May 3 for a tour, picnic and Linda’s baked goodies!

From our meeting point in Westlake Village, we embark on a 15-mile scenic driving tour to the Stagecoach Inn Museum in Newbury Park. Built in 1876, the museum was originally a hotel and is now a historical landmark. Here we will enjoy a 90-minute guided tour of the museum, a schoolhouse built in 1888, and the blacksmith shop. Also see a pioneer home, a Mexican adobe and a Chumash dwelling, all representing different historical eras of the Conejo Valley.

After the tour it’s a short drive to the Simmons residence for a picnic lunch. Bring your picnic basket (or grab lunch to go) and dine in the garden! Desserts and beverages will be provided by Linda Simmons. For those interested, we will be performing basic TC maintenance tasks in the garage after the picnic. Watch for a flyer in the mail with details on meeting time and location.

NOTE: If you plan to attend this event (tour and/or picnic) please RSVP to Steve Simmons.

March Recap: 19 members and guests experienced the recent “super bloom” of poppies in Lancaster.  Four TCs were present driven by Loe, Simmons, Olson and Mathison.
