Hey Doug
How long you been off of Long Island? Just courious because I happen to
be a newly elected director of MGCC-LIC and will just say "the times
they are a changing". Problem was the club members were slowly and
surely giving up MG ownership and the club was becoming a rally club.
When Dave Blackwell (current vice-chairman) joined 6 years ago, he
tells me, if there were 5 MGs in the whole club it was alot. There are
now something like 75 cars belonging to it's close to 200 person
membership. We have a dozen or so true enthusiasts that travel the
North East attending shows, swap meets, vintage races and rallies. I
have been with the club for eighteen months and am proud to tell you
that the majority of the current board of directors are members with 4
or less years membership. The best for last, we have several members
who are triumph owners. At Vanderbuilt Concours I over heard one
Triumph owner ask another "why do you belong to a MG club?" he answered
"because they do stuff." I like seeing all kinds of British cars at our
events. Sorry you were here in a completely different era. Safety Fast,
David Deutsch
