    Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Minnesota Wing

    Photoshoot April 27th, 2024

    The MMGG group has reserved Saturday April 27th for an exclusive photoshoot opportunity at the Commemorative Air Force (CAF). It has been three years since the MMGG reserved a date with B25J “Ms. Mitchell”.

    Fleming Field is an active airfield with commercial and private aircraft coming and going all day. We have a four-hour frame (10:00 am to 2:00 pm). Each person/car will be assigned an approx. ten-to-twelve-minute time slot time slot. Participants are required to arrive 30 minutes or more prior to their time slot. Each person/car will be escorted on and off the tarmac by a CAF volunteer during their designated time slot.

    This event requires pre-registration along with a participant fee. There are two options.

    Option One, a fee of $35 that provides a personal ten-to-twelve-minute time slot with your car next to the vintage aircraft on the tarmac where you can take your own photos.

    Option Two, a fee of $50 that provides a personal ten-to-twelve-minute time slot alongside the aircraft with photos taken of you and your car. The additional $15 is a donation to the MMGG and photos will be taken by volunteers Paul Lyon and Chris Cooper and will be sent to you after the photoshoot. This is recommended so you can enjoy your time with aviation history to the fullest. 

    I recommend that you come early as the CAF Minnesota Wing has a large aircraft and motor pool fleet. Plus, a unique museum of a collection of World War II artifacts on display.

    Join us for John Twist’s return to Mark Brandow's shop, Quality Coaches. You still have an opportunity to meet John Twist, the MG guru behind Michigan’s University Motors who has helped countless people maintain, restore, and understand their MGs.

    Mr. John Twist, previously inducted into the British Sports Car Hall of Fame, is sharing the honor with some of the biggest names in British Sports Car history.

    https://mossmotoring.com/john-twist-mg-is-my-destiny/

    Only $125 per technical seminar session! Choose Saturday or Sunday.

    In the past John has discussed Lucas electrics, built up the bottom end of an engine, tuned various models of LBC’s, and rebuilt an overdrive gearbox. All this while sharing his vast knowledge of MG lore.  In fact John’s tech seminar may be the best $125 you’ll ever spend on education about your car. There are often small things he will explain or correct that will make a HUGE difference in power or reliability.

    The day will be educational, fun, and entertaining, all while sharing in great MG fellowship with a legend in the MG world. John hopes to have a demonstration TD to help explain some of the beginnings of MG automobiles. The sports car America loved first!

    Remember as a bonus, some or most attendees will be able to bring their car thru a rolling tech/tune-up by John.

    Call Mark from Quality @ 612 824-4155 right away if you plan on going. Lunch is included.

    Payment for the seminar must be made directly with Quality Coaches.

      Rendezvous 2024 Update

      The Thunder Bay Vintage Sports Car Club is excited to be hosting
      Back to the Bay
      32nd Annual Vintage Sports Car Rendezvous
      JUNE 6 – 9, 2024  
      Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada

      Past and Future Rendezvous Participants,

      This is your personal invitation to “Back to the Bay”, the 32nd Annual Vintage Sports Car Rendezvous in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada - June 6-9, 2024. This event was first held in Thunder Bay in 1991 with the support of the Austin Healey Club of Manitoba. Local efforts on the part of a few enthusiastic sports car owners yielded a great weekend (even though it rained) with 37 cars registered. Our American Austin Healey guests had such a great time they decided to host the event in 1992, and it has since become an annual multi-marque, multi-location, multi-club event.

      The Rendezvous has continued all these many years due to the combined efforts of the Thunder Bay Vintage Sports Car Club, Manitoba Austin Healey Club, Triumph Driver’s Club of Manitoba, Mid-Canada Minis, Minnesota Austin Healey Club, Jaguar Club of Minnesota, British Iron Society of North Dakota, Wisconsin Austin Healey Club, Minnesota MG Group, Minnesota InterMarque Council and Minnesota Triumphs. This will be the 10th Rendezvous event hosted by the TBVSCC.

      So what is the secret to the Rendezvous longevity? YOU!  

      We have a common bond, a deep-rooted interest in Vintage Sports Cars and a motivation to share a good time with others that possess the same interest. On that note some of our partners might agree that at times we do seem “possessed”!

      In 2024 spirited by the Sleeping Giant we invite you “Back to the Bay”. Preliminary plans have a mix of new and old activities as well as tours of local points of interest.  The Car Show will once again showcase our beautiful rides in a gorgeous waterfront setting. Saturday will culminate with a fine banquet and awards ceremony. 

      Those who arrive early on Thursday may even find time to squeeze in a round of golf or a fishing outing on the lake. We look forward to hosting you once again in Thunder Bay – hope to see you soon!

      Hotel: Best Western Plus Nor’Wester Hotel & Conference Centre @ 1-888-473-2378.  A block of rooms is being held at a special group rate until May 1st. Call directly as it seems the reservation line shows no rooms!

      Newark, Ohio

      The Ohio Chapters of the MGTs and the BuckAyes of NAMGAR invite ALL MGs and their owners to have an Octagonal Time in the Heart of Ohio at the Cherry Valley Hotel in Newark, Ohio June 17th-21, 2024.

      Why will it be an Octagonal time?  One reason is that the hotel has been built in the shape of two octagons, our favorite shape!  
       
      The Cherry Valley Hotel is located between Newark and Granville; it is in the Best Western Premier Collection.  These small communities are surrounded by many superb MG roads, including Athens County’s Windy 9, meant to be driven by our MGs.

      During this event, the NAMMMR will hold its national meet and NAMGAR will hold a regional meet.

      There are plenty of things to see and do, it will be an MG Gathering of the Faithful you won't want to miss!              https://ohiomgt.wixsite.com/gofcentral
