West Lancashire MG Owners Club - Everything you need for MG's in the North West.

40th Anniversary Celebrations

and Awards

17th October 2019

Club member Joe Grindley made a special cake for our celebrations. Joe is a retired baker , so is well used to making cakes and he excelled himself this time with this beautifully designed one for this evening. It was a shame that it had to be cut up, but Joe expertly cut it in to 48 pieces so that everyone got a slice to take home - or eat then and there.

Ralph is seen in the photo thanking Joe.

AWARDS PRESENTATIONS

After the Hot Pot supper, came the presentation of the awards. The Pride of Ownership trophies were awarded first (see the results in the "About Us" section and the photos in the "2019 club activity" section) .

Then followed the awards for Club supporter and Dargan Trophy and finally the Award of Lifetime membership.

Club Supporter 2019 - David Graham

David had bad years for illness in 2017/2018

But this year he returned full of enthusiasm and joined in as many club activities as he could.

David took on the post of Treasurer in 2016 at particularly difficult time for the club. But with his meticulous orgaanisation, David soon had the club's accounts in fine order.

Lifetime Member Award - Nigel Malyan

Lifetime membership is awarded to members who have given extra special help to the club for more than 10 years so is usually given to long serving committee members who are retiring. Nigel had been a committee member since 2001 and the club chairman in two stints - 2004 to 2006 and 2008 to 2016 , a total of 12 years, standing down from the committee at the end of 2018.
