The 2019 Fall TMGR was this past weekend in Katy and by all accounts it was a huge success.  We had great weather, over 65 cars, hundreds of people and a great weekend full of driving, eating and enjoying a bit of merriment with friends, from across the great state of Texas, who love their MG's.  There will be more to share in the near future but for now here are a few photos from the event.  Enjoy!

We aren't sure what this is but it does have an MG logo

We have learned that during tropical storm Imelda the post office in Houston had damage and there is the potential that mail has been lost or delayed.  If you mailed in your registration and have not received a confirmation email please contact Bob Chalker at houstonmgcarclub@gmail.com and let him know.  Bob and Kim will make arrangements for taking your registration.

We are pleased to share the award winners from this year's Houston All British Car Day.  We had an outstanding field of cars with over 70 entries.  I am sure that they crowd found the voting to be difficult with so many great cars.  

Arnel Brown won Best of show with his 1953 MG TD

We also gave away two prizes in a random drawing.  Kenny Daves won a $100 gift certificate from Moss Motors and Richard Langer won a $25 certificate from Rock Auto.  We thank both companies for the support of our event.

CONGRATULATIONS to all of our winners. (click here to be taken to the award winners.

Once again this year a significant portion of the proceeds went to support the Russ Seto Scholarship.

Thanks as always to Greg for preparing the below report :

The Houston All British Car Day was a true success despite the threats of tropical storm Imelda, the skies cleared and we had a beautiful day with over 70 British classics, from across the decades, on the show grounds at the Wild Stallion Vineyards.  

Here are scenes from the day....

Several of you have asked if the Houston All British Car Day will be happening on Saturday.  AccuWeather is calling for the storms to be out of the area, partly cloudy skies and no rain for Saturday morning and early afternoon.  The organizers will be visiting the site tomorrow to confirm all is well but we are planning for the show to go on as planned.  If anything changes we will post it here.

We have over 75 cars registered, even if you are not showing your LBC come on out and see these beautiful vehicles.

Safety fast!

Incase you missed it on our Facebook page, here is a photo from our club meeting new members Scott & Trish hardy as they drive their MG from Calgary to Houston.  The Gilberts, Dawsons, Bards and Laverocks met them in College Station to escort them to their new home.  Does this not make you thankful that you are a member of such a warm and welcoming club of people.  Safety Fast!
