The Michael Andrews Memorial Trophy 2021/2022 for best attendance at PMEA Events has only a few more weeks to run until it’s conclusion. With points scores being VERY close near the top, it’s a race to the chequered flag with very rewarding prizes for the winner, 2nd and 3rd place awards. So please make sure that you always list your name on the attendance sheet at every fortnightly meeting and run. Bonus points awarded for attending in your classic car or bike (DO NOT list just because you own one!!).

Please join us on AGM night Wednesday, 13th July at RMYC starting at the special time of 7pm, when all PMEA yearly awards will be presented to the winners.

I mentioned at this weeks General Meeting that there are some fantastically entertaining car shows currently on Foxtel, in addition to the long running Wheeler Dealers. You can also download or stream these current and past seasons on your IQ recorder. All are British productions, the Brits do it best! For those that weren’t at the meeting, these are worth mentioning again:

• Car SOS-National Geographic Channel
• Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars-Discovery Turbo Channel
• Flippin’ Bangers-A&E Channel
• Bangers and Cash-Classic Car Auctions-A&E Channel

I am trying something new with our first PMEA BYO picnic featuring MG cars in Roseville Park, surrounding the historic 'The Firs" cottage.

PMEA have heaps of MGB's, and of course MGA's, Sprites and others, so get your driving gloves out, hat on, roof down and enjoy the drive with your fellow MG'ers!!
Hopefully the sun will be shining. In the event of rain, it will be postponed.

Of course, as always, every other brand is welcome too, just don't get in the way of the MG parade on the way!!

Mid-year over winter is a busy time for car clubs and events in general, don’t forget to check them all out on Classic Car Gurus
