President’s Piece
October was a busy month for Christine and I, with MG events on every weekend and of
course, continuing my work on the TD. All the MG events took place in dry conditions,
which is one of the many advantages of living in WA. Having been Covid free for most of
the crisis, State restrictions have allowed us to drive our MG’s and many members have
taken advantage of that. There were over 60 MG’s at the Safety Fast weekend and we
all enjoyed blue skies, lots of lovely MG driving roads and fellowship with other owners.
If you did not take part in the SFR weekend, you missed a MaGic event, which I am sure
will be reported on elsewhere in this Octagon. Many thanks to the whole Organising
team, for a great weekend.
I have been an MG Car Club member since 1966, the Club was just 36 years old then
and now it is celebrating its 90th Anniversary. A great achievement for a one-marque car
club. That inaugural meeting on the 12th October 1930 at the Roebuck Hotel, started
with a Rally of over 30 MG’s [mostly M Type Midgets] and the MG Car Club was formed
that day, a Secretary [ John Thornley] and a committee were elected and they all then
sat down to afternoon tea!. The club they formed has spread worldwide since then and
continues to grow, all this because of ownership of an MG. Two letters which mean so
much to so many. I am pleased that SIAC have taken on the mantle of MG production,
thus ensuring that the marque continues. New MG sales around the world are
flourishing, with a range of models, including electric versions and a Hybrid HS [not yet
available here]. What the next ten years will bring for Motoring enthusiasts, who
knows, I only hope that we will continue to be able to drive our ‘Infernal Combustion
Engine’ cars without impediment.
I attended the CMC General Meeting on Monday [19th October] on behalf of the club.
The principal matter of the evening was the recent Code 404 output from the DOT.
The CMC Code 404 Committee representative advised that they too were surprised by
the proposed changes to Code 404, attached to the Minister’s Media Release, on 6th
September last. A long debate ensued; the end product was a motion confirming that
the Club representative present didn’t want any changes to be made to the current
Code 404 Rules. A statement confirming the CMC position was issued on 22 nd October.
We are holding a General Meeting on November 17 th at the same venue as the
December AGM which will be held on Tuesday 8th December, the club AGM will be held
at the Alf Faulkner Hall, Eden Hill, with a supper preceding the GM and AGM.
All members are encouraged to attend. The hall is large so no problems with social
distancing and numbers of attendees. This will be your opportunity to have your say on
club matters as well as elect the new Committee and witness the 2020 award
presentations.

Murder Mystery
Wednesday 23rd September
In our ZR we joined most of the other
MMN participants at
Ye Olde Narrogin Inn on a lovely
sunny day for an enjoyable convoy drive,
devised by Tony Ford, to the Quindanning
Hotel. We used a variety of roads through
rural areas and forests, unfortunately
incurring three different sets of roadworks,
within 20 Km, not much sign of work but we
were stopped anyway!
After booking in and ordering our meals,
going outside for a well-earned drink, we
then found our room, down a long dark
corridor, with the facilities at the far end.
Dressing up in our costumes we went to
join the others in the dining saloon for
pre-dinner drinks and a briefing on the
challenge ahead. Doug’s part was ‘Big Chief
Breaking Wind’ some might say , how
appropriate! The other part players were
also appropriately dressed for their roles, as
were the observers. There were many
Stetsons and six-shooters to be seen.
Richard was the MC and after our food was
served [ no pork & beans on the menu]! we
commenced on the “Murder Mystery’ part
of the evening. The actors were given their
Scripts, that contained clues narrated at
various stages through the evening, for the
other players to try to identify the
murderer. His honour, the Judge who
invited us all to the hanging party was shot
dead, but by whom?
Characters and players.
Butch Chastity – Lynette Whitehurst P’Elvis Swaggerin – Tony Ford
Helena Handcart – Catherine Morris Chief Breaking Wind – Doug Bush
Elvira-Lynn Fekshin – Elke Otte Wyatt Hertz – Terry Banton
Dee Adela Muerte – Colleen Hardie Elias Truist-Heath – Chris Hart
8
After much
deliberation and red
herrings, it was
finally revealed that
Elvira was the
murderer, her being
a crack shot, had
only fired one single
bullet, hitting the
Judge right between
his eyes, after he had been shot but not mortally wounded by others.
How many people guessed correctly, who knows?
Afterwards we all went outside for very large marshmallows, [the size of which I had
not seen before] toasted over the campfire. Being a bitterly cold night we did not stay
outside too long before retiring to our beds. Next morning before breakfast, I went,
along with Wanda and Terry
to see the old church next
door, I say old but it was
built in 1956, which
compared to most churches
I have seen in Europe, is a
very modern one. After
breakfast, Doug helped
Bruce with a problem with
his MGB and we then set off
home by a different route,
navigated by me of course.

WACKY RACES
with Peter McGrath
Now we are into the final quarter of the year, the competition calendar thins out as it
does every year. With only one competition event scheduled for October, being the
Tarmac Sportz Series Round 11 on 25th October. I’m unaware of any of our members
taking part, but we’d love to hear from you if you did.
There is one final round of the Tarmac Sportz series to go this year, with round 12 due
to take place on the evening of Sunday 20th December at Barbagallo. This is a sprint
event. All details are on the WA Sporting Car Club website.
The shortened State Motorkhana series draws to a close in November. There have only
been four rounds this year, reduced from the regular five round series, mainly due to a
late start following the COVID 19 restrictions. The fourth and final round takes place on
Sunday 29th November at Tiger Kart Club. As always, we welcome additional
members to our team for this event. We generally have four or more drivers taking
part. Should you need any more information, please let me know.
Also scheduled in November is the TSOA track event at the ex RAC driver centre near
Perth Airport. This is scheduled for Saturday, 14th November, but hasn’t been
confirmed yet. As soon as details are available, I will send out an email to the
membership.
One further event is scheduled for December, the WRX club of WA have arranged a
track day at Barbagallo in the morning of Sunday 20th December. This is a similar
format to the Jaguar Track days with a series of short five lap sprints, (not timed). A
great opportunity to test out your skills and get a feel for your car on the track, without
racing the clock.
Let me know if you need any more info on the above events.
I look forward to seeing you at the November general meeting and/or the AGM in
December, now that they have been confirmed to go ahead.
Here’s to a rapid and fun November

Urgent, Cars Needed
Have-a-Go day
Wednesday 11th November
Once again our club has been invited to put on a static display at Burswood for the
annual “Have A Go Day”. For a number of years we have been the only car club to be
invited and we hope this will continue.
It has always been a fun day with lots of events to take part in, many things on display
and a wealth of information for those heading towards the senior years.
We have a new co-ordinator this year with Ernie Whitehurst taking over the reins from
Val Goff, so if you would like to display your MG please contact
Ernie Whitehurst on 0418 906290 or by email at: ernieandlyn@outlook.com .
11Northerners & Southerners Lunch Run Northern write-up
SUNDAY 4TH OCTOBER
Some 16 of the Club’s northern
dwelling members gathered at the
Clubrooms on Sunday 4th October.
New members Graham and Sharon
Wright in their white MGBGT, on their
second Club outing, were warmly
welcomed. Two each of MGA, MGB
and MGBGT models plus a Midget and
an HS made for a variety of MGs as the
group set off. The weather was cool
and fine and the run down to the Coast
Restaurant in Wannanup to join the Southern Chapter members was entertaining.
The 160km route initially diverted to Kalamunda and through the lovely Bickley Valley,
dodging a number of enthusiastic bikers, before following the Canning River to
Roleystone and on to Armadale via Churchman Brook Dam. Another diversion away
from South Western Highway up Nettleton Rd to Jarrahdale and thence to Kingsbury
Drive, where there was clearly a cycling event in progress with numerous lycra-clad
cyclists encountered (fortunately going the other way!). The cool air made top-down
motoring a pleasure through the forest and farmland scenery.
On to North Dandalup and a transport section along Lakes Rd (including some confusing
roadworks diversions) brought us to Mandurah and then south to Wannanup on the
Harvey Estuary by the Dawesville Cut, all successfully navigating the traffic lights along
Mandurah Rd to arrive just in time for our lunch booking time of 1pm.
The Southern Chapter members
arrived a short time later and all then
enjoyed some convivial conversation
and very tasty meals served by the
Coast Restaurant staff. Although the
restaurant was full of people enjoying
a sunny Sunday lunch, the service was
quick and friendly and the food was
excellent.

12Northerners & Southerners Lunch Run - Southern write-up
Sunday 4th October
Sunday morning was a glorious
day for a drive in the
countryside.
Meeting at the "Crooked
Carrot" nine cars set off.
Lindsay and Kerren took the
lead and Ted and I were tail end
Charlie's.
It was great to have Marion and
David Blaxell come on the run
with us.
The drive took us through
Harvey shire and Cookernup.
Some of these roads are
familiar, but always different
each time we take a drive. It
was lush and lot's of black and
white dots in green paddocks.
From there we drove via Hamel,
up onto the South West H/way
once more, turning left and
onto Waroona. Then turning left
at Coronation Road and then
into Dorsett Road continuing to
Forrest H/way which was a
pictures drive.
We had a designated rest stop
and time to gather the
stragglers and then set off once
again. Heading west along
Clifton road to Old Coast road,
where once again the small
convoy split, some taking the
Estuary drive as per sheet and
the rest continuing straight to
the venue.
All in all it was great once again
to catch up with other MG club
members.
Wonderful to see Erica and Geoff Ward and his family. (Geoff getting to ride to and from
the Marina in his much loved B) now owned by his son.
Thanks to all who attended. Robyn and Ted Mullins

15An ‘Explanation’
I thought our members may like an explanation
regarding the “Waiting for Clyde” photo
featured on the cover of the October “Octagon”
magazine.
It all started when I read articles and books about
the notorious lives of Bonnie and Clyde, looking at
the many “getaway” cars they stole and used in
their life of crime I noticed that many of the various
stolen cars had similar styling and shape to my 1948
MG Y type even though their crime spree happened
in the 1930s.
I got the idea of turning my 1948 MG Y into a 1933
Ford V8 getaway car!
The plan was to exhibit the car at this years Curtin
car show, (some people may remember the 2019
Curtin show where I had the car displayed as a
broken down wedding car.) But due to the Covid 19
virus the Curtin show was cancelled so the
opportunity arose again for the 2020 York car show.
I already had a female shop mannequin, she was
last years Bride at the Curtin show! (amazing the
things you can buy on Gumtree!) I also had the
Thompson sub machine gun from a previous fancy
dress party and so just needed to make a number
plate, bullet holes, V8 badge, Ford and Texas
badges, fake dollar bills, a couple of money bags
and a wanted poster, easy!!
So that was the reason a “fake” Ford
was lined up with the MG’s.
It received lots of comments and lots
of photos were taken. There was also
the sound of gun fire thanks to the
internet and Bluetooth.

16Code 404 Concession Licenses
Very Important Reminder
As we approach December and our annual renewal of memberships, it is
timely to remind those members who hold concession licenses registered with
our Club, that Dept of Transport treat your financial membership
requirement, exactly the same as your car registration.
No days of grace are allowed.
To maintain valid registration and the third party injury cover, embodied with
it, it is essential to make certain your membership renewal is paid to the Club,
no later than 31st December (and request, much earlier please, to assist a
very busy time for your Membership Secretary).
We are also obliged, by Dept of Transport (via Council of Motoring Clubs) to
give notice to Transport of any concession license members, who have not
renewed by 31st December.
Renewal notices will be emailed to you around the beginning of December to
give plenty of notice.
The above will also be particularly important to members who first obtained a
concession license during 2020.
Cheers: Richard Gusterson...........Membership Secretary
NEW CLUB WEBSITE
If you haven’t recently looked at the club website at www.mgccwa.com now is
the time to do it.
The website has been completely redesigned to update it to a modern look
with various new features and information.
Be sure to go through it tab by tab, as there is are many new features there to
be seen, as well as links to other clubs and car organisations.
Myself and the web designers we commissioned to develop this new site have
spent considerable time to make it an MG event in itself. Some of the content
is ongoing and will be completed in the near future
As always, like the Octagon magazine we rely on info from members but most
importantly photos from recent club events to add to the Recent Events Gallery
for all to see.
WE HOPE THAT YOU LIKE IT.

19MGCC 90th Anniversary Celebration Run/Brockwell Classic
Sunday 11th October
It was a very comfortable
and sunny day as we
arrived at Whiteman Park
for the start of the
Brockwell Classic Run to
York.
Several marshalls were on
hand to direct the cars into
position, before taking a
walk round the Motor
Museum.
There were several
hundred different classic
cars of which 21 were
MG’s, all ready for the run
to York.
At precisely 10.00 am we
were waved away by
Esther Brockwell to take
one of two routes towards
York. The reason for this
was to stop too much
traffic congestion along the
way.
The only problem for my
wife and I was that halfway
through the directions, we
swapped from route A to
route B.
20This meant we lost the fellow MG’s but still found our way to the final parking spot
down by the river at York just ahead of the “slow coaches” who took the correct route.
After having been in York the previous month to attend the Classic Car Show this visit
was very nice and relaxed without the vast crowds and difficulty of getting something to
eat or drink. We were able to peruse the shops and have a pleasant chat with some of
the locals.
The run home was
also very pleasant
with no major
traffic holdups.
