Concours 2016

What a spectacle the cars made at this years Concours; the site chosen by Roy was on the

banks of the Mersey River opposite the Spirit of Tasmania and I'm guessing he did not

envisage the support this event received as the park was packed, in fact cars had to be re-

arranged to make room for the final judging.

Twenty five of the displayed cars had entered and the makeups were 5 T types, Peter

Thorne had his concours winning TF entered, Peter Richards TF Special , Sophie entered

the very sporty looking TC, also the Jeffrey's stunning dark green example with Derek

Holden's TF completing the class.

Mike Smith had his immaculate Y sedan entered and for those unfamiliar with Michael, he

is the face we regularly see on TV promoting Midway Furniture.

Wayne Jessup's newly restored A along with the Frasers and Kuzniarski's completed the

A's.

Nine "B's ranging from Sue Anne's very early model (this car was in the Club when I

joined many years ago and was also owned then by a N.W. member) to Wendy Lansdell's

original BL and Irving's National Concours class winning BL to Mike Walsh's attractive

factory BGTV8; Duncan's GTV8 to Richard Ashley Jones appealing B but it was the

stunning black B of Chris and Vicki Wagstaff that was to win gold on this day in this

class.

In the modern TF class was John McCabe along with Bruce and Robyn Keogh; Bruce

Daly and Mark Dilger completed this class with their previous outright winning cars. In

the modern section it was Robyn Phillips who was the winner.

But it was congratulations to Mark and Angela for their outright victory.

The event was also well supported by those who just wanted to display their cars and

support the Car Club.

My thanks to Roy, Craig Large, Andrew Midgley, Susan Fraser, Margaret, Wayne Jessup

and the judges for your support.

Presidents Report

Like many of the attendees at this years AGM in Devonport, I left the meeting a little

bewildered. Yet again we had not filled all of the available positions on the committee. So

after having my ear chewed a bit I decided that I would accept the late nomination for

president of our club. A couple of other people also rallied and accepted a late call up and

I am now pleased to say that all of the positions are filled. For some of us this is a new experience to be on the state committee and we are lucky that we have some experienced

people to guide and mentor us. Thanks must go to the previous committee whose members

worked hard all year. We are now looking forward to the challenge and we have already

held our first meeting – so it’s just on with business as usual now.

Our north west members worked very hard to put on a great Saturday concourse show in

Devonport which was really well attended. By all accounts the Saturday evening dinner

was a great success so well done to them. Next year this event will be held in Launceston

and I know the northern centre members are already looking at venues to make it an

equally successful event.

As you are reading this it is obvious that you have received the latest magazine in the mail.

Our new editor John Frost has taken up the mantle and seems undaunted by the challenge,

which really is immense. John has received a lot of help and support from Andrew

Midgley for which I am sure our new Ed is very grateful.

Until next time,

Eamonn.

Ed Says

Thank you to all the contributors to the monthly magazine. As outlined in the presidents

report this is a new outing for some of us, while on the subject a personal thank you to

Andrew for a comprehensive handover no doubt the other new committee members will

be mentored in a like manner.

Hopefully more contributions will be forwarded in the near future, if you have felt like

saying something or putting items in the magazine feel free to pass every/anything on.

The cover story by Greg outlines the success of the concours as an event, pictures of that

and the annual dinner adorn the front cover and inner pages.

Seasons greetings and best wishes to all for the new year

ED.

Club Meeting Details Every Tuesday Night at 8pm

Civic Club, 134 Davey Street, Hobart

Postal Address GPO Box 5, Hobart, Tas 7001

PAST EVENTS

12th November – Overnight stay at Mt Lloyd.

Threatening rain did not dampen our enthusiasm for this annual event. The shenanigans

started before we left the Civic Club with Herby thinking it was a 10am departure. Finding

nobody there at 10.10am he left for Mt Lloyd. The rest of us arrived at the appointed

11.00am (MG time) and waited till 11.30 for Herby. Thinking he had forgotten, we left for New Norfolk where we had pies and coffee at the Patchwork Café in Willow Court. We

arrived at our destination at1.00pm to find Herby already there with his car jacked up! He

must have thought he was still at the Baskerville raceway, knocking his exhaust pipe off

on the way down to the house. With a few bush tools coming to the fore we got him

underway again in no time.

Two chainsaws and a few able bodied men soon saw to it that we had sufficient firewood

for the mandatory campfire.







Page 13

Given that it was raining off and on, one of our members asserted that he could go into the

bush and collect some kindling and light a fire with one match and no paper, so having collected the required tea- tree branch he went about setting his fire. Greg supplied the

match and wondered if he needed the box as well! Having lit the match and applied it to

the kindling, it hit a twig and went out. He didn’t think it was fair that he failed because in

the old days the match would have flared more and not gone out and would have lit the

twig (matches are not what they used to be!). The experiment was deemed a failure and

the fire was lit with the third match. Not to be beaten the theory will be tested again next

year! Frank Manley produced a nice tribute for the feat on Tuesday night – not sure

whether to thank him or not.

As usual Herby cooked his side of beef for tea, while the rest of us had more mundane

fare.

Shane challenged Bob to a game of euchre and beat him four games to nil. Bob didn’t

think that was fair either because Shane was making it on the 7, 8 and 9 of spades when

Bob had a lone hand with diamonds. There has to be a law against it. Shane must have had

cards up his sleeve and I will be keeping an eye out next time.

The next drama occurred at 1.00am when the said member decided to sit on the throne in

the outside toilet using light from the verandah to see by. A light breeze began to close the door and he feared he may be left in the dark, but as luck or otherwise would have it, a

huge gust of wind came and reversed the swing of the door and took it completely off its

hinges and threw it against the wall. There is conjecture that he may have been trying his

luck with the matches again whilst sitting on the throne. Phil thought the crash was just

Shane wandering about after drinking his 3 bottles of red! The door was carefully placed

back in its place. Low and behold, the next morning Phil had to go and the door came off

in his hand. Nobody knew why of course and Phil thought he had broken the door. And,

yes Phil I found the switch for the hot water as I was locking up!

After the usual Mt Lloyd breakfast we all headed home in the pouring rain with a few

more stories to tell.

We wondered what our new recruit, Grant West, thought of the goings-on.

26th November – Annual Concours at Devonport. Several Southern Sub Centre members

made the trek to Devonport with a noggin and natter at the Golf Club, AGM at the RSL, dinner at the Bowls Club and breakfast again at the Golf Club. Peter Thorne was

successful winning a trophy for his immaculate TF and another club member came away

with the Clubman of the year trophy. Very unexpected! A good array of cars was on

display on the foreshore.

Club Meeting Details Last Wednesday night of the Month:

7.30 pm for meeting. VCCA Rooms,

67 Lawrence Vale Rd, Launceston

Postal Address P.O Box 682, Launceston, Tas 7250

It was a brilliant decision weeks earlier, before we knew the weather was going to break, to change the date from the wet and windy Sunday 13 November to a sun drenched blue

sky day on the 19th. So we all met all smiles at the Motor Museum for the MG run. But

hey, wait a minute, there was barely an M[G in site.

Getting all the attention, [ even Museum staff came out to look], was a metallic black

Volvo coupe with metal retractable hood, the operation of which was demonstrated, to

wild applause, several times by the proud owner. Distant second was an Audi sedan but at

least sported an open sun roof. Then came a gaggle of MX Fives of miscellaneous roof

types, some metal retractable, some soft, some without. I think I saw an ‘A’ hovering

reticently in the background.

Anyway we were all quite chummy and left for Longford then down the nicely

picturesque C520 to Campbell Town. The only excitement along the way was trying to pass silly lycra clad cyclists on the narrow winding country road, devoid of all line

markings. We needed a nerve settling coffee break in Campbell Town, choosing JJ’s

Bakery with it’s lovely outside verandah and lawn, rather than Banjos or Zepps.





Page 17

Refreshed, and on to the Lake Leake Hotel for lunch, the last couple of klm’s being on a

good gravel road, [oh, no, I hear !! – but there was really not much dissent]. It was a new

venue for most members. A terrific, no frills Aussie style pub in the bush. No attempt at

fake refurbishment. An old wood heater was burning away in the bar. No doubt visiting

fishermen and shack owners enjoy themselves on satty nights. There is an outside, sunny

area with benches and upholstered couches. Without thinking, most of us plonked into the

couches only to quickly self-eject realising rather belatedly they were the very private, sitting domain of the resident, and heavily moulting, doggie. A lot of hair-brushing

followed. The lunch menu was extensive, most members choosing from the wide ranging

$15 selection. I think the 25 or so meals suddenly on order tested the chef and kitchen’s

efficiency but I only recall one delay. When it arrived, a shepherds pie, it was judged

quite delicious.

Then a walk to the lake some 500 metres down the road, past good camping grounds

which appealed to our caravanserai, [ yes, I know all the big words] , and even saw shack

named Dilger.

So we happily meandered home in two’s and three’s mostly deciding on the main drag. Shame, though, about Mr Heinz. Jim.

COMING EVENTS:

Sat Jan 21st. Mystery afternoon drive finishing approx 20 minutes from Launceston for a

BYO BBQ, Picnic, Drinks and Pool Party. Max 30 people - RSVP Rhonda & Eamonn

Club Meeting Details Second Thursday night of the Month:

6.00 pm for meal and social evening.

Bridge Hotel, Forth

Hi to all,

November has been a busy month with the North west hosting the Concours, AGM and

Presentation dinner in Devonport. The proceedings kicked off on the Friday night with a

Nog”N”Natter at the Devonport Golf club and concluded with a farewell breakfast at the

same venue on Sunday morn.

Saturday dawned with humid overcast conditions with well over 30 cars on display or being judged.

The AGM saw the existing committee retire and those who renominated were elected. A

few positions were vacant but by the time the Presentation dinner came around, nearly all

positions had been filled.

Congratulations to those who put their hands up.

Congrats also go to those who were lucky enough to get a gong not only for the concours

but the perpetual trophy’s as well. Another great year of socialising and competition down

with a full year ahead to think of “how can I get my name on a trophy”. The answer is

easy — get out there and be a part of the happenings!

Christmas is fast approaching with the last of the social events happening. Our final Forth

pub night has gone along with our NW Christmas party at M & M’s. The last event on our

calendar was the combined North & NW get together at Port Sorell. More about these events in next months issue.

A final thank you to all of you who put your hand up to run an event, cook on the BBQ’s,

do the timing at the Motorkhana's, etc. Without you things just don’t get done.

My last commendation goes to Roy boy. MGB 73 has done a wonderful job as NW coord.

for the past couple of years. He certainly has big shoes to fill.

This is my last input as the NW co-ordinator. I am stepping down to concentrate on the

Club Captains job on the State committee.

Wendy & I wish everyone a happy and safe festive season and we look forward to seeing

you out with your MG’s next year.

“Zeds“ rule & “B” happy

All Pre War, T and Y Type MG’s.

The most recent gathering of T and Y Type MGs and of course many other models of the

marque being the main event on the calendar, the Concourse this year held in Devonport

on the banks of the Mersey. Congratulations to this ‘pair’ of Ys, the often seen, always

immaculately presented special of Gary Perry and the fine Y Type example, recently

completed family sedan of Michael Smith.

The scrutiny of Terry Jeffrey’s TC by the judges is well de-tailed earning a Class second

place from the winning TF of Peter Thorne followed by Derek Holden’s TF. The two T

Type specials look mutually menacing, the TC taking the Class prize and the public
