NOTICES & CALENDAR
1. With current petrol availability concerns please check Sporty Notices and the Club homepage for any changes to the nature of coming events. Hopefully there will be none, but these are uncertain times.
4. Richmond Club - annual membership is now due. It is not an MG Car Club requirement but can get drink discounts on club nights, and is required for any drinks from the main R.C. bar. $15 if over 60, otherwise $30. Renewal can be quickly done on line, or at the R.C. office or bar. Yet again the R.C. has won the top award as the Best Club in NZ.

Guidelines - the first 2 guidelines are:
- All cars must be driven to their respective Concours positions.
- Cars should be presented with hoods up and driver’s side screen removed, or window down. Bonnets, boots or side screen boxes should be left open for judging, and tool kits should be displayed in front of the car.
