If you wish to nominate for a position on the committee that keeps our beaut club running, the nomination forms are now available at the club or on request from the committee members. As you know all positions are declared vacant in November at the AGM. It is good for a club for new faces to be on its committee, as they come in with new ideas and yours could be the fresh ones required to boost the club into the future. Since writing to you last time, the club has had some great outings arranged by different members. They have all been good, with fun and friendship. To those members who arrange and participated in those events, I feel you would agree thanks should go to the organisers and the members that participated; without both the club would be stagnant. One of our long time members has been blessed with a baby son. Tony and Francene Morgan were delivered a parcel in the form of Cameron Richard Morgan, a brother for Cara. He was born on the 20th September and weighed in at 8lb 8ozs. Congratulations to them both. To all that attended our last working bee, I thank you. We had a large group and it made light of the tasks at hand. Most importantly our thanks go to Ruth and Merv Perry for the wonderful morning tea we all enjoyed. Even with the reduced rain, the garden is holding up well, mainly due to the heavy mulching over the last two years. We all, throughout Australia need rain aplenty and can only hope and pray that it soon comes to fill the River Murray and catchments around Australia. If any of you are only running on a few cylinders, now that the warm weather is arriving, the aches and pains should start to go away. I wish you all better health and a return to your normal activities. May all of you enjoy your motoring and remain safe and well. Yours in Motoring & Friendship Trevor Clerke President.

An English professor wrote the words “A woman without her man is nothing” on the chalkboard and asked his students to punctuate it correctly. All the males in the class wrote “A woman, without her man, is nothing.”: whereas, All the females in the class wrote “A woman: without her, man is nothing.” Punctuation is powerful!

This car belonged to his mother from new and the family name for it was ‘Bluebird’. Bill left this car and his home to the IVVCC in his will. He was a true enthusiast who actively encouraged others to get involved and indeed sourced old motors whilst on his travels around the country passing on their locations to eager enthusiasts. FRONT COVER: Bill’s car must be unique in that it belonged to one family from new. It was a The late Bill Pegum’s 1929 Ford Model ‘A’ regular attender at events in the past and we hope it will be again. (Bluebird) enjoying a day out.

If that is what you are after, then obtain 'M.G. by McComb', 'Magic of the Marque', 'McComb, Maintaining the Breed', all by F. Wilson McComb; 'Tuning and Maintenance of MG's' by Phillip H. Smith; 'The Magic of MG' , 'MG, Magic of the Marque' by Mike Allison; and 'MG The Untold Story' by David Knowles. Once you have absorbed these, you are an 'expert'. This book is a collection of information and stories I have collected over about 30 years, with obvious reference to MG history books.

  • Kingsbury Works - Wings and Wheels
    Kingsbury Works - Wings and Wheels In 1915 Barningham Ltd began manufacturing equipment for the war effort in buildings behind Kingsbury House (where the dairy depot opposite Kingsbury Green now stands). A year later, the company bought the house’s 109 acre estate, between Kingsbury Road and Church Lane, and turned it into Kingsbury Aerodrome. They soon had temporary licences for two large hangars (described as a “Machine Shop” and an “Erecting Shop”), as well as permission to build a woodworkers shop, a trimming shop and a dope room. The company became Kingsbury Aviation Co Ltd (with a share capital of £250,000 and Ernest Barningham and a local motor manufacturer, Warwick Wright, among its directors). By mid-1918 it employed 800 people and had built 150 DH6 aircraft (designed by Geoffrey de Havilland of the Aircraft Manufacturing Co at nearby Grove Park) for the British forces.

As Kingsbury Engineering Co Ltd, the company brought out new products. Its “Kingsbury” motor scooter selling for £39 (at least one still exists, in the Glasgow Transport Museum) and £195 eight horsepower light car were not a success, and it went into liquidation in May 1921.
