NOTICES & CALENDAR

Sadly we note the recent death of current and long-time member ELLIS SHIER - an MG enthusiast. Ellis passed away on 17th November 2025 at the age of 95. Thank you to daughter Kate Lewis - his driver to some more recent events - for this information. Our thoughts are with her and the Ellis family. Kate's contact details - ring Di or Paul.

All best wishes to those of us going on next week's MG National Rally. 64 cars are going to be there with 23 of those from our club. No doubt all will hear a little more about experiences in the near future. If you are in Dunedin next Sunday morning, 8th Feb, all the cars will be on display in the Octagon for concours judging and admiring by the locals.

Time trials and motorkhana activities at Levels Raceway - see 28th March below. To help with planning Bob would appreciated the names of those attending in the near future. Questions - Bob would welcome them.

Welcome!

The MG Car Club Canterbury Centre has its roots in the original 'MG Car Club of New Zealand', formed in 1952 when many of the country's motorsport enthusiasts drove our favourite marque in the shape of TCs, TAs, Ps and Js.

From those early beginnings the NZ Club has devolved into four major Centres, two in the North Island and two in the South. Each of these Centres is autonomous, organising competitive and social events for members within its regions. Like the 'Crusaders' our region includes Nelson, Marlborough and the West Coast as well as Canterbury. There are also a range of inter-Centre and national activities you are able to enjoy. And of course, if you are visiting another region you will be most welcome to participate in any of their events, competitive or social.

Like most MG Clubs around the world we are affiliated to the MGCC UK ensuring access to badging, logos and so on. We also maintain regular contact with a number of Centres in NZ, Australia, the US and the UK to help ensure we offer the best possible benefits and MG enjoyment for all of our members.

For more detail of what we do, please visit the 'About Us' section.
