MG Car Club of South Australia MGB REGISTER EVENT From..Steve Spong Saturday 18th February 2017 Beach Run you wonder, and what is it about roundabouts that people do not un- derstand?

It was also great to meet the newcom- ers to the club out for their first event, namely Daniel Cooper & Cheryl An- drews-Cooper and David & June Hill in their lovely "Bs".

So thanks to all who came and we look forward to seeing everyone and more at the next B Register Event, yet to be advertised. We managed to keep, more or less, in convoy for the whole of the route but the actions of some drivers do make 18
