FROM YOUR SECRETARY EXHILARATION By the time this "Driver"reaches you, Spring should be well on its way in most SAYS of the country. You've probably removed the hard top unless you have a BGT and are thinking about which of the many MG events you want to attend this Summer. You can't attend them all of course, but if you have not attended one of the larger meets held every Summer let me encourage you to do so. I have heard many people say that 'this' show or 'that' show is just to far to drive and sosummer after Summer they sit at home and their MG languishes in thegarage! Why not get out this year and see for yourself why 500toa 1,000MGowners converge at certain meets-some of them driving over 2,000 miles just to get there!-many of them planning their vacation around the trip. This Summer we will be holding our first NAMGBR convention, hosted by the MG Car Club of Toronto. There will be activities for everyone-they even have a day camp for the kids-a shopping trip to downtown Toronto for your spouse or 'significant' other-and Don Hayter ex-MG Factory as guest speaker. This promises to be the BIGGEST MG meet of the season, so why not take a second look before you decide it's 'too far' and see for yourself why MG drivers are the friendliest people around! With the last issue of the "Driver"you all received a questionnaire from your Service Recommendations Coordinator, Ken Blahnik. I hope you all took a few w minutes to complete the form and drop it into the mail back to Ken.
