F Register ANNUAL AWARDS LUNCH

It's the time of year once more when I wish you all
a merry Christmas and a happy New Year and we look forward to a
Fantastic 2010 with our F/TFs.
It's also the time of year that we hold our annual awards
shindig at the Dog House Hotel in Frilford. It was great to see
so many enthusiasts enjoying the Dog House Hospitality and
getting stuck in to the tricky Xmas Quiz as well as the seasonal
Turkey. Well done to the South East Team (A) who took the
honours this year. The Thames Valley Roadsters organised a run
in from Kimber House , a route of some 50 miles to actually go
about 5 as the crow flies, by all accounts it was a good scenic
run and the weather held off for them as well.
We welcomed some visitors from further afield this year, Belgium
and the Netherlands , who joined us for lunch and had a valiant
stab at the quiz.
Julian White, the MGCC General Manager, joined us and handed out
the awards in a ceremony hosted by the Chairman, Tim. You can
see all this year's winners in the adjacent column - well done
to them all particularly Dave & Carol Walker (aka the UK Kiwis)
who are our Members of the Year. A new award was introduced this
year - the ICHBABDA - which is made out of the Chairman's old
blown MGF head Gasket (yes that could have been abetter day !).
The first recipient was one of our oldest members, Derek Varney,
who locked the keys of his TF in the boot at no less than three
shows in 2009!.
There was also the opportunity to buy the newly released
Register calendar, and a host of DVD's - MGFest09, MGFIM and
MGLive were all on sale to fill those Christmas stockings.
