Around 70 members of the MG Car Club of WA had a fabulous evening in early December at the club’s Christmas Dinner, AGM and awards night. The function was held at The Stirling Arms Hotel in Guildford and the event was a smashing success. Arriving at 6pm, we were ticked off the attendance register at the door. We then made our way to one of the many tables set up with festive decorations and enjoyed a pre-dinner drink and some very pleasant chatter with fellow members.

At 6:30pm sharp, President Dave Hardie brought the room to order, and the AGM commenced. Dave read his well prepared Annual Report and then passed over to club treasurer Chris Hart who delivered the 2022 financial report. It was then time to vote for the new committee for 2023, which sadly was somewhat of a fait accompli given an almost total lack of nominations! However, it was very pleasing to see that our competition secretary of five years Peter McGrath was elected unopposed as our new Vice President- a position held by Doug Bush for the past 12 months. Chris Hart was then confirmed as the new Safety Fast Co-ordinator and he will be ably assisted by Tony Ford.

Next, Rami Brass was nominated unopposed to return as competition secretary, a role he has been most successful at in the past. The surprise of the evening was the nomination from the floor and successful elevation of Terry and Wanda Banton into the social secretary’s role. As I am sure you are aware, Terry and Wanda have just stepped down as
Safety Fast Run Coordinators after 15 years of service.

At around 9pm people started to disperse and head home. Another wonderful and successful social event was over, and many thanks go to Sarah Fry for her hard work organising the evening. It is sincerely hoped that more of these evenings take place in the ‘post COVID’ era, perhaps even a Christmas in July?

Congratulations one and all and we look forward to another MaGnificent year in 2023.
