3.  Vacancy - our MaG Editor

Sadly, Roger and Dael Foy are shifting north - we have just received Roger's last bumper edition. So we are looking for a new editor for our quarterly MaG. 

While a voluntary role a publishing package, and similar, as required, will be provided.  A great opportunity for the MG enthusiast with some computer skills.  Questions, or to indicate interest please contact President Paul - he, and our committee, would be keen to hear from you - and thanks for interest/questions to date.

4. HELP?  We still have a couple of Wed. MMM Runs needing an organiser(s).

Nothing special - morning tea somewhere with a choice of nearby cafés and a picnic lunch spot.  Sometimes a place of interest before lunch - but usually not;  just a pleasant drive is always enjoyed.  Plenty of help readily available as sought.  Questions, offers - Leonid or Bob would be keen to hear from you.

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.
