Bringing a chair was important—the rented ones were filled pretty quickly. It is amazing how different sand is from what we have here. I like ours better—softer. Dinners were mostly on your own to group up and go places. We ate once in downtown San Diego at an English Pub that advertised in the program. It was well worth it— the food was great, and they had a great building decora- tion—a thief pulling a out of the attic. It was quite re- markable and life-like. I had thought that I bought tickets for the awards banquet, but it turned out that I had not. No worries, most people said that it was too expensive for the food you got. We wanted to see the awards, so we came in after the dinner was over and grabbed a couple of chairs. I really appreciated seeing my friend Jennifer Orum get a special award. The car show was held at the Embarcadero (Seaport Alternators: Chrome, One Wire, 6-Volt, Positive Village) on the lawn in the park.

Page 3 By Debbie Haroun Last December, at our Gorge Christmas dinner, Cynthia Crowley offered to make a 5 course dinner for six people as an Oral Auc- tion item. Six of us pooled our resources and got it. On August 30th we cashed in on it. Cynthia and John Crowley came to Larry and Debbie's house with all the food and their supplies and created magic in our tiny kitchen. Jan Whittle- sey, Glen Enright, and Tom and Sue Stose joined Larry and Debbie to participate in this delightful evening. The weather was perfect, the wine superb, the food delicious and the company a lot of fun. The pictures tell the sto- ry. Thank you Cynthia and John for donating such a wonderful event.

Activities Corner By Debbie Haroun As I am writing our activities article this month, there is no doubt Fall is in the air. Right now the rain is coming down in sheets. Our 90+ degree days may be destined for the rec- ord books. The rains are actually a welcome relief, however, in helping put out the fires that have been ravaging our forests of Oregon and and filling the air with smoke and ash. Although we can have some beautiful Fall days ahead, thoughts of tuck- ing our little MG’s away for the winter months are not far behind. In September our activities began with the second Saturday of the month where Commonwealth Classics opens their shop to car enthusiasts for Classics and Coffee. Thank you Bob and Donna McNabb for providing such a wonderful venue. On September 13th Keith Ansell continued his clinic on the assembly of a Spitfire. Thank you Keith for sharing you automotive expertise. One of the casualties of the fires was the cancella- tion of the Detroit Lake Car Show and Overnighter Keith and Ursula had planned. In it’s place they hosted a picnic lunch at their home and led Keith and Ursula’s favorite tour. Even though the smoke still hung in the air, I think that tour will be among one of the favorites of the many who participated. Thank you Keith and Ursula. After many months of recruiting and anticipation, the first bowling match between Willamette MG, Co- lumbia Gorge MG, and Club T-MG (sponsor) is this month. Results will be reported at the October club meeting and newsletter. Thanks to the 8 members who signed up for the tournament. Finally, Pub Night will be September 26th at Tual- atin Island and Greens (Putt putt golf). Fore!!!!! Thank you Eric Leatham for planning this fun event. Thank you to everyone who participated in activi- ties this month planned by your fellow Columbia Gorge MG Club members. Tips for Tours: If a restaurant is included in the activity, make arrangements ahead of time and call ahead with exact number of people in party. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO. THE CLUB COULD NOT RUN WITHOUT YOU!

Page 9 Keith and Ursula’s Favorite Tour By Keith Ansell, photo by George Wiggins 24 people and 22 cars started out with a “Bring your Own” picnic on Keith & Ursula's back deck. A couple of more people and it would have been too crowded. 1:15 we started out in perfect tops down weather with no smoke! George Wiggins' car started reluctantly at the first stop and was hand push started at the second but otherwise from there on every car ran great. There were 9 MGs, two Miatas and one Mercedes (All cars at least started with a “M”!) The ice cream at Eagle Cliffs Campground was great, the view from the McClellan viewpoint was obscured by smoke but we couldn't smell any or see any in the immediate area.
