CHAIRMAN’S NEWS
January brings us into the new year of 2012 and we must again look to the club‘s organisation and committee.
The calendar for next year is nearly complete, but we are still looking for activities that you the club members are
interested in.
The Club Committee is a different matter, as virtually the whole committee has completed their terms of office and
are looking for replacements with new committee members. In years gone by I have chaired many committees
and have always found the same situations exist. Firstly, the role assumed by a new committee member is not
nearly as onerous as it appears; secondly, as one gets into the swing of things it is really quite enjoyable and
invigorating. Prior to my joining the committee I personally found myself falling into a complacency rut where I was
slowly withdrawing from a more active life and was quite happy to fall into a steady routine of a quiet life.
Joining the committee did me a lot of good. It shook the cobwebs off and put new meaning into my everyday
routine. Plus, I really had fun getting involved with the many activities that the club has to offer.
Everybody has something to offer and whilst it may not be the same as the views of others there is always a
benefit in the contribution. I ask you all to give a thought to joining next year‘s committee, and consider the option
of participating for at least one year. I think that you will find it rewarding.
With prize giving coming up in March I also ask that the trophy holders return their trophies.
Finally, it is the Timour Hall Show day in January. This is a very important charity event and our participation adds
a lot of meaning to others less fortunate. I know that the regulations are a bit frustrating, but give consideration to
your participation and the value that it adds to the community as a whole.
Keep motoring and Happy New Year
Pat

CONGRATULATIONS
Golden Anniversary.
Bill and Lucille ten Oever are celebrating their 50th Wedding
Annuiversary on Friday, 30th December 2011. We wish them
luck for the next 50!!
CONDOLENCES
The Cape Town Centre send out their condolences to Derrick,
Malcolm, Fay, Lyn and family on hearing the sad news of Roy
Smith‘s death.
Roy was a Kwa-Zulu Natal member and a keen restorer.
Hi everyone
It is with great sadness that I am mailing to let you all know that
Dad passed away last night (Boxing Day).
He suffered a heart attack while having dinner with the whole
family at Lynn's house. The ambulance call centre guided my
brother-in-law, Mark, and I in performing CPR until the
ambulance arrived and they then tried to resuscitate him for
about 35 minutes, but weren't able to.
Mom is of course still in a great deal of shock, but
otherwise seems to be handling it ok so far.
Love and regards,
Derrick Smith (on behalf of Fay and Lynn as well) from New
Zealand

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
THE CHINA LETTER —Pat
Coyne
The local SAIC had a combined MG - Rover
presentation in the car park at a local shopping centre
last week. They had three MG's & three Rovers on
display, which for me was a good cross section of
product.
MG3 [ the yellow car] There are two engine sizes, a
1.3 [1346cc] and a 1.5 [1498cc], both available in 5
speed manual or automatic. Performance is fantastic
for such small engines with the 1.3 and 1.5 achieving
top speeds of 175 kph and 182kph, respectively.
The model is available in 8 solid colours only, with no
metallic colours at present. The 1.3 is on 14" tyres &
the 1.5 is on 15"tyres. They come equipped with a
great sound system & all the electronic bell & whistles
as can be seen by all the steering wheel controls.
Prices are competitive with the manual 1.3 cars at
RMB 69,700 - and the 1.5 at RMB 83,700. There is
also a MG3Xross at RMB 91,700. Details will be
provided at a later date.
MG5 [the white car]
The MG5 is the same body and engine as the
Rover, with plenty of MG badges and a slightly
revised front & back.
There is only one engine option, a 1.5 (1498cc) in
manual & automatic. Power is the same 80kw @
6000rpm as the MG3, but as the body is a little
heavier performance will be a bit down.
Again eight colours but toned down, white
replacing yellow & maroon replacing red.
Prices will be confirmed during January 2012. The
car that I originally saw was a dealer demo, which
is why the driver was vague on details.
3
MG 6
There are two versions, fast-back. Back at RMB128,800 and the Saloon at RMB 127,800 both with only the 1.8
engine. The Dual Variable Valve giving 98kw at 6000rpm and a top speed of 188kph on 16' tyres with the Turbo
upping the performance to 205kph from 118kw at 5500rpm on 17" tyres . The turbo costing a extra RMB 18,000.
MG7
This is a MG badged Rover 75 or in China it is a 750. Cost RMB 168,800.
MGTF 500
Up rated improved MG TF at a hefty, for China, RMB249,600.
I do not have the RMB to Rand exchange rate but it is about 1:1
I will bring some leaflets with me, to the February general meeting, for those interested.

VETERAN’S NEWS - Jo Hitchcock.
It was so great to read the reports on the Cape Centres Gathering at Graaf Reinett in October. Thank you, Hildegarde
for organising this and for the daily reporters who were willing to do this. It was wonderful to relive the week-end in this
way. Thanks to Port Elizabeth – it could not have been better! It was tops!!
Doug and Myrna Peiser hosted us in the garden of their small holding for the end-of –year picnic. They were excellent
hosts and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Sixty one members and some friends from Cape Town and
Overberg arrived in thirty one cars – not all MGs! People arrived carrying picnic baskets, chairs, blankets, etc. Chairs
were not really necessary as there were enough tables and chairs all over the lawn underneath the trees. Read more
about this in Len Victor‘s report in this Breed.
Mike and Frances Johnson arrived in their pale blue TD which came out on its first MG-run. Mike bought this MG new
forty eight years ago. This was the car in which he and Frances went on Honeymoon. He just completed a rebuild
after the car stood covered up for forty years. It was leading the convoy to Onrus, very slowly, as it was still running in.
We want to thank Carole Engledow for inviting all who attended the run on the 17th November to a Bring-and-Braai at
her house on the following Thursday. What a super idea that was and so enjoyed by everybody. About twenty plus of
us arrived to enjoy Carole‘s beautiful garden. The laughter and chatting were proof of the relaxed atmosphere. Bill ten
Oever struggled with the wind to get the fire going. It was the men‘s turn to do the cooking. Carole treated us to
scrumptious salads and a selection of breads. This was followed by ―something sweet‖ and coffee. Thank you for a
lovely relaxing day, Carole. What a splendid way in which to end off our 2011 Veterans‘ year.
Brian Armstrong‘s report on the November run was not published in the December Breed. Hope to see it in the
February issue. Thank you, Brian for your contribution.
The first run of 2012 will take place on the 26th of January to Babylonstoren. Full details appears in this Breed.
All the schedules for our 2012 runs have now been handed out, except for George Toop, Dieter Reck and Dave
Hendry, which I have posted on 18.12.11. We are looking forward to scenic drives and experiencing interesting
places.
REPORT BACK FROM OVERBERG XMAS EVENT — Len Victor
Early morning rain and partly overcast skies did not deter members who wished to attend the picnic at the home of
Doug and Myrna Peiser in Onrus. Those of us who preferred to travel in convoy met at the N2 Engen One Stop near
Somerset West (arranged by Jo Hitchcock)
We departed from there at 10.30am intending to arrive in good time, little knowing that a motor accident would cause
us to be diverted from the N2 to the Gordons Bay Road - this detour a mere 3 km took the best part of an hour. By
then the sun was pretty warm in an open car.
Six cars chose to continue along the coast route , the rest doubling back along Firlands Road to the N2 and over Sir
Lowry's Pass. No prizes for correctly guessing who arrived first, but then they missed the scenic drive, which after all
is part of the enjoyment of the day.
On arrival we parked our cars on the grass at right angles to the long driveway, each car seemed to have its own
shade tree. Nice touch! and with the classics from the Overberg group looked very impressive
Walking down to the picnic area we were met by Myrna who made us feel most welcome. Tables were all set out with
gazebo's and umbrellas for additional shade. The braai fires were burning well and everyone appeared to be having a
jolly time chatting to old friends. A total of 61 members attended including those from the Overberg group.
There were approximately 30 cars which included:
2 x TD's (1 a powder blue just rebuilt and still running in belonging to Mike Johnson)
1 x 1954 TF Midget (recently rebuilt by Ian Opperman)
10 x B Tourers
3 x B GT's
5 x F and TF Moderns
Plus a mixture of other marques belonging to the Overberg members, including an E Type Jaguar and the impressive
1937 Jensen dual cowl phaeton of Charles De Villiers. One of 3 in the world.
6
A new MG 6 demonstration vehicle belonging to Morris Garages - Tygervalley. In which some of us, who wished to,
were able to "test drive" .
The overall driving impression of the car is best left to the outspoken comments of Jeremy Clarkson, but suffice to say
my test drive buddy Bill Ten Oever's most positive comment was that it had sufficient leg and head room in the rear
seats to accommodate his tall frame.
And so after a lovely relaxed day in beautiful surroundings we reluctantly started off on our individual chosen routes
home.
Once again "Many Thanks" to Doug and Myrna for the use of their lovely venue and Best Wishes to all for the Festive
Season.

XMAS OUTING TO PEISER’S HOME AT ONRUS - Duncan & Cerina Hardie
Wow!! What a turnout. Firstly, a very big thanks to Doug & Myrna for hosting the invasion. They (and I suspect with
Piet & Annatjie) went to a lot of trouble...eish..wrong word...made a huge effort (that sounds better) with gazebos,
umbrellas, chairs and tables and no less than three large braai fires to welcome pilgrims from near and far. Sorry about
the incident on the mountain causing a BEEEG detour.
Don't know how many people were there but at a guess around eighty. [Jo Hitchcock mentioned 61 people in 31
cars] Thank you all for coming...I know you all enjoyed your day.
The weather was perfect so many of the cars arrived topless. Sadly, some were not able to do so. As the club name
would suggest, most were MGB's along with TD‘s, a TF, a Triumph, a Morris Minor convertible, an E-Type, a Jensen
(very beautiful & very long), a Jag XKR, a Wolseley and a few polystyrene's (I hate the word Plastics...it sounds so??
Plastic?) If I forgot any special other makes, I prostrate (or is that prostate?) myself in misery and beg forgiveness.
Here special mention should be made at the popularity of the gents loo. Not sure if the liquid intake was to blame or
maybe it had something to do with the Calendar on the wall. One could say that it was WURTH it. Nice one Doug!
Rumour has it that motorists passing by were so
intrigued by the display that they turned off the
main road to come and look, asking what the
charge was to come and see the display!
It was well into the afternoon by the time the first
trickle of pilgrims started the long trek home (at
least they had nice cars to travel in.)
Thanks to Maureen & Peter for the arrangements
and to Doug (hope your twisted arm heals soon).
Just a couple of pic‘s courtesy of Maureen.
Written under duress on this 12th day of
Christmas...sorry.. December in the year 2011 at
06.30am
Cheers to all and a safe & Happy Festive season

THE MIDGET PARTY OR THE AFRICAN ODYSSEY IN CAPE TOWN -
Brian Hogg
For some time now we have all been made aware of the challenging expedition embarked upon by Roy Locock in
his MG Midget ―Bridget the Midget‖ and initially several other MG Midgets, some of which pulled out before the start
and the remainder en route, with only Roy making it all the way from Abingdon to Cape Town. Roy or more precisely
Bridget did have a few problems but nothing stopped Roy and Bridget from making it to Cape Town. All the details of
the trip are available on Roy‘s web site so will not be repeated here, but I will report on Roy and Bridget‘s welcome
by the Cape Town Centre of the MG Car Club and their accompaniment from Namibia.
Several members of the South African MG Fraternity
traveled to Grunau in Namibia to meet Roy, these
were Bruce Henderson (Midget) and Ricky Cooper
(Midget) from the Southern Cape Centre, Kevin &
Jenny
Loader
(MGF),
Stewart
&
Thelma
Cunninghame (MGB GT V8), Rob & Theresa Mercer
Tod (MGB GT) and Alan Uzzell & Tony Watson (MGB
GT V8) all from the Johannesburg Centre.
Nigel Stokes (Midget) from the Cape Town Centre and
Barry Fletcher (Austin Healey Frog-Eye Sprite) from
Franschhoek joined Roy and the convoy in
Clanwilliam. Alan & Tony returned to Johannesburg
from Clanwilliam. Nigel had driven his Midget from UK
to South Africa in the late 1960s so was very
interested in Roy‘s 2011 experiences some forty years
later.
The Route
Roy‘s arrival in Cape Town had always been planned for Monday, December the 5th which he did achieve. It was,
however, the knowledge on the afternoon of Monday of the impending arrival by air on Tuesday afternoon (6 th) of
Norman Ewing (Chairman of the MG Car Club Combined Southern African Centres) to meet Roy and Bridget that
alerted our President Joan Parker and I that Roy and his convoy would be in Cape Town on Monday 5 th and Tuesday
6th.
It was ascertained with Chairman Pat that no arrangements had been made for a reception for Roy et al so it was
decided to put something together at the 11th hour.
11
It was fortuitous that there was a Committee meeting of the Crankhandle Club on the Monday evening which Joan attended as a member of that Committee and I attended briefly as the MG CC representative, so it was established that
the MG Club could hire the CHC clubhouse for the following evening then a call to Hildegarde resulted in the members
being informed of the last minute arrangements. Joan went to Kalk Bay early the following morning to meet up with
Roy and the others of the convoy who were setting out on a trip to Cape Point and they were delighted to receive the
invitation to the reception that evening. Joan then made arrangements for snacks, drinks, etc. for the evening.
Norman was staying with Roger Lewis who, as a working lad, could not spare too much time but requested that I look
after Norman for a while on Tuesday afternoon which I was delighted to do as I had not seen Norman for years so
there would be a bit of time to catch up on the ―vanished‖ years. We all arrived at the CHC Club house and were delighted at the response from our Club with members coming from Somerset West and the Northern Suburbs as well as
more local residents.
Bridget the Midget had pride of place in the clubhouse proudly displaying the map of the route through Africa on the
bonnet. Roy was persuaded to give a short account of the expedition and took many questions from the enthralled MG
enthusiasts present. He was an extremely laid back character who, on a whim, had bought Bridget (knowing nothing
about MGs or the MG Car Club) and then decided to drive around the world which he did a few years ago. Some time
after his arrival back in UK he was asked ―what next‖ so without thinking he announced that he would put together an
expedition to drive through Africa from Abingdon to Cape Town. He did confide in us that he does prefer traveling on
his own rather than being responsible for a group and being subject to the whims and fancies of other members of a
touring party.
On leaving Cape Town, Roy and the other travellers, now including Norman, set off for Knynsa and then Port Elizabeth
where Bridget was boxed up for return to UK and Roy took the easy way home by catching a ‗plane.
It is regretted that the notice was so late which must have meant that many members did not make it to the event who
would have loved to have been in attendance.

year picnic"

The Committee has unanimously decided that if members book for an event, but fail to arrive and have
not tendered apologies, any costs incurred at the hosting venue/restaurant shall be for the cost of those
members.
Timour Hall – Peter collected names for registration, and explained how some of the preparation for such
events requires that car owners make a commitment for a full day, and make bookings in advance.
Gymkhana – Feb 19th – James is still looking for a venue – please help.
Veterans' – Jo reported back on recent events in Graaff-Reinet, Parow & Onrus, & thanked Hildegarde &
Len Victor for writing for The Breed. A list for the next outing to Babylonstoren was circulated.
Ideas for future events: More suggestions requested

Regalia: Jo reported a shortage of space in the cabinet. There are some remaining items from previous

The Breed: Rosalie was not present. Stories & photos to be sent to Carol.
13
Cup of the Month: awarded to Joan Parker for organising the last minute Midget reception; in Joan's absence this was accepted by Brian, who reported back on the event.
Peter extended apologies from the committee that the organisation had fallen onto others to do at the last
minute, and congratulated Joan, Brian and all those who attended on representing the club & welcoming
the visitors. Kevin emphasised the need for volunteers to step up and participate to make these things
happen more efficiently, as clearly all those who had attended and commented said they had enjoyed that
meeting. Many hands make light work.
14
General:
Peter reported back from the committee and encouraged us as a club to support various charitable
events. Kevin, Joan & Ray plus some CHC members had volunteered to drive cars to a childen's Christmas event for the Home from Home Trust, which Kevin was involved with the following day. Bill ten Oever
spoke about using the My School card.
