The OMGC Executive Committee met on January 7th 2023 to review a variety of topics.
Here is a summary of the information and decisions made at the meeting:
Jan 12 2023
The Ottawa MG Club is seeking a new Club Rep to the North American MGB Register [ NAMGBR ]. Club member Todd Steeves has stepped down from this portfolio after several years on the job. The main focus of this Representative position is to maintain a communication channel between NAMGBR and the OMGC. As the OMGC is a Chapter of NAMGBR, there are activities and bits of news of importance to both groups. The OMGC Rep to NAMGBR communicates these types of things to NAMGBR, and receives similar types of things from NAMGBR, to share with OMGC Executives and Members.

The Ottawa MG Club is seeking a new Communications Director. Club member Peter Sanderson has stepped down from this portfolio after a year of wonderfully exciting editions of The Dashpot. The monthly newsletter is a great way to communicate with Club members to keep them up to date on recent past and future events, as well as provide tips and insights to just about everything that goes on in the world of MG! You can peek at the last 12 months of The Dashpot, created by Peter, on the website. In fact you can look way back over the years at lots and lots of editions - right back to the time the Club got going in 1990.

Looks more like a stock car race at the first attempt at starting the event with a 30 car grid! (it’s a good job that they are cheap to fix)
