CANTERBURY CENTRE
The MG Car Club
(Canterbury Centre) Inc. caters for owners, drivers and all those who are
passionately interested in MGs of all ages, in the Canterbury, Nelson
Marlborough and West Coast areas.
We welcome all models, sports and saloon, from vintage to the latest MGF,
providing social and competitive events for all interests and ages.
Events range from traditional motorkhanas, sprints, navigation trials and
concours to all sorts of social events in and out of our MGs.
We also offer two or three weekend touring events per annum, summer and winter,
designed strictly for fun and to involve out of town members.
The Club also invites and receives invitations from other Marque clubs for a
variety of events.
From simple relaxed runs on our uncrowded country roads, funkhanas treasure
hunts, garage raids to the Spring Dinner or the mid winter breakfast you will
enjoy the friendly atmosphere of a club that takes pride in the MGCC motto "The
Marque of Friendship"
Club membership offers ready-made opportunities for contact with those of
similar interest throughout the North and South Islands.
We also maintain affiliation with the MG Car Club UK Ltd and less formal links
with similar organisations in Australia, Canada, the USA, and South Africa, in
fact almost anywhere MGs are driven and enjoyed.
Club Night
We have a regular
social noggan'n'natter meeting on the first Friday evening of each month
(except January) at the Cashmere Club, 88 Hunter Tce. Beckenham, (entry from
Colombo St - by the fountain). Plenty of off-street parking, comfortable
surroundings, and an excellent 2 course meal available @ $12.50 per person
(includes coffee and the hire of a large comfortable room for our exclusive
use).
Meet at around 7.30 pm before the meal, or join us just for coffee, good
company and (generally) a speaker. All owners and drivers of the Marque are
most welcome". We normally complete the evening with a speaker on topics MG or
related 'stuff'.
