November Club Drive, Monday the 11th, Veterans Day
Happy Thanksgiving December Toy Drive By Larry Haroun
Once again the Columbia Gorge MG Club will be supporting the KGW Toy Drive. I will be taking over for Ed Mullowney. Thank you Ed for all your work organizing this event over the years for the club.
KGW has not notified us yet of the date and drop off locations. I will notify the club with details as soon as I know. As in years past, we will meet and caravan to the drop site and then head for lunch. If you can’t make the drive, you can still contribute by bringing new toys to the club meet-ings or events. Ed or I will be happy to accept them and bring them to the drop site. Hope to see you all there.

President’s Message November
The November meeting is election night for 2020 club officers. I hope you will make an effort to attend, but if that isn’t possible, please mail in your ballot. Our elec-tions aren’t usually hotly contested, but your participation is appreciated. We have a great slate of candidates with several officers continuing and will work to build on this year’s efforts.
Looking forward to our December holiday party, we have several awards to present. Please let me know if you have suggestions for Outstanding Member or Best in Tow. This will be the first year for the most active member award. Be sure to get your points in to Keith. The club is again supporting the price of this evening so get your paid reservation in early and bring some extra cash for the al-ways awesome raffle items.
Had a wonderful time on Keith & Ursula’s favorite tour. The weather was perfect giving us a very clear view of Mt. St. Helen’s at the McClellan Viewpoint (photos on the website). A field of 20+ cars, mostly MGs with a few others, and one of the newer car drivers was impressed with the speed and handling of the MGs on the twisty road. Great after tour eats at the Backwoods Brewery and lots of conversation about the day. A carefree drive for everyone with no mechanical incidents!
We’re looking for new things to do with our cars in 2020. If you have any ideas for new events or places we haven’t been, contact me or Peggy. We’re working on an official survey for input so when you get a fabulous idea, write it down so you don’t forget it like I do!
Make plans to join us for the Veteran’s Day tour with the Crowleys. Estacada puts on a very nice parade and me-morial (rain or shine) and Cynthia provides the lunch! See you there!
Safety Fast!

North American MGB Register By Ed Mullowney
The North American MGB Register (NAMGBR) is an international MG car club serving the needs of MGB, MGC, MG Midget, MG 1100/1300 and Post Abingdon MG owners. Individual members of NAMGBR can take ad-vantage of the following:
Receive a copy of The MG Driver magazine which is published six times per year
A 5% discount on a new auto insurance policy from Hagerty Insurance. If you are already a Hagerty Insur-ance customer you will be able to get a 5% discount on your next renewal
A copy of the Mutual Aid Directory which provides contact information for fellow NAMGBR members spread out across the country who will point you in the right direction and help if you are traveling outside of your home area. This directory also includes a list of service shops recommended by NAMGBR.
One benefit the Columbia Gorge MG Club receives by being a NAMGBR Affiliate Club in good standing is the liability insurance coverage that is available at no addition-al cost. This insurance covers the Club, its officers, and each Club member individually against damage claims re-sulting from a club event or activity. One requirement to maintain this good standing is to have a minimum of eight (8) club members who are also NAMGBR members. Fol-lowing is the latest available list of Columbia Gorge MG Club members who are also NAMGBR members:
George Wiggins Glen Enright Michael Layman Ed Mullowney Robert Madaris Russell Sherrell Tom Ekstrand Ken Shelby Gary Eddings John Dutra Doug Foster Tom Stose
Joining NAMGBR is easy. There is an ad (see page 2) in the Club Newsletter each month that gives all necessary contact information.

November Activities Clinic—Nov 30—You Won’t Believe!!!
This year our cars got a little older and some new prob-lems are starting to appear. Some have been quite surpris-ing, some we have never seen before and others have been a real problem to find and fix.
This month we take out the boxes with this broken stuff we sometimes can't believe exist that we have found this year and in years past. The object of this clinic is to share what we have found and come up with methods to hopeful-ly stop these things happening to you and your car.
One area of interest is the many new parts that haven't been available are available today. Many of these new parts are of good quality and some we can't recommend. Keith has been experimenting with some new products this year, most have been great additions to his car, some can't be recommended.
Clincs go on rain or shine but cancelled if snow or ice. Pizza and conversations from Noon to One (thank you Hagerty Insurance), Clinic from One to Three. Bring some-thing to drink and a desert to share if you can. Overflow parking across 189th Street from driveway and walk down.
Where: Keith and Ursula’s shop, (FPP). 19900 NE 189th Street, Brush Prairie, Washington. Approximately 10 miles north of Portland.
From North on I205 take Padden Parkway West. Fol-low the road as it changes names and eventually gets you to the village of Hockinson. One mile after Hockinson.
Right on 184th Street (Signs to Alderbrook). Go one mile (Left at top of hill, Sweeps right, changes names again).
Left First Chance after Mountain Meadows (Sign on Right) down the Driveway.
Overflow parking across from driveway at the purple house, through the gate. Be careful not to block owners cars.
ABFM 2020 Update By Ed Mullowney and Ken Shelby
As of this writing we are still awaiting the final financial results of ABFM 2019. Hopefully we will have a follow-up meeting soon.
For ABFM 2020 the feature Mark will be "MG"! This will be an opportunity to showcase our cars and put on a show that all attendees will enjoy. While Ken and I will again work to coordinate the overall ABFM event, we are looking for assistance from Club mem-bers with developing the MG focus part of the show. Please contact either Ken Shelby or myself and let us know that you wish to become more involved in put-ting the AGFM event together. One direction we want to go is to get all three area MG Clubs (CGMGC; Club T; & the Willamette Club) working together to plan for the MG field presentation.

Board Meeting Minutes from page 7
We are firming up dates for next year’s events. For January, we have the first of the year run with the McNabb’s and the Ladies Tea.
Kimber Party is February 8th. John Dutra will send out a survey to the members for
ideas for club events. Sue will be ordering more business cards.
ABFM Next year ABFM will be September 11-13, 2020. The
date was driven by Sovren’s availability. We do not have the report for ABFM income or attend-
ance, as we have not had the wrap up meeting. The banquet sold out this year.
The marque next year is MG. Discussion about how to make the event successful. Ideas include having MG rac-ing. The MG clubs and Sovren would need to reach out to the racers. Keith volunteered to talk to the local clubs and Sovren by next club meeting.
Keith has a large sign and a visible engine available for display.
It was suggested that we recruit significant cars to dis-play lining the road into the event.
There was discussion about how trophies are selected. Triumph club is responsible for selecting trophies. It was suggested that useful items, (clocks, coffee mugs, picture frames) be considered for trophies. We realize that cost is an issue in the selection of trophies.
Discussed potential speakers for ABFM. Suggested speakers should be contacted soon.
The club wind feather is coming. Discussed the club tent at events. Who is responsible
for volunteer signups, transporting and setting up and tear down? Activities is responsible for signing up volunteers. Sue stores the displays and brings to events. Currently Tom and Sue bring the tents and tables to events.
It was suggested that we make a check list to help coor-dinate transporting items to events. It was suggested we bring a cooler (with water for volunteers), tables and chairs.
It was suggested each event have a coordinator or or-ganizer. This would be a good position for a new member.
Decision to have Activities committee responsible for club tent at events, with tasks being delegated to volunteers.
Open discussion/New items Logbooks for MG: Discussed log book quotes. Best
price is for 500 copies at $1287 or$ 2.58 each. Several board members would like to see a prototype prior to plac-ing an order.
Suggested we provide one free to each current member and one to new members in their welcome packet. Addi-tional copies available for purchase in regalia. Sue will con-tact Donna regarding obtaining a prototype.
2020 Officers 2019 officers who have agreed to return for 2020. John Dutra, President Keith Ansell, Vice President Carol Wilson, Treasurer Peggy Oliver, Sue Stose and Larry Haroun, Activities John Crowley, Past President. Joan Shelby is stepping down from secretary. Joan was
thanked for serving as secretary. We will be opening up the floor for nominations at the
October club meeting. Sue will send out an email blast letting members know
nominations for current and open positions on the board will be taken at the October meeting.
Anything else? Larry Haroun suggested compiling a President’s note-
book to help future board members with roles, bylaws and other useful information.
Suggested club bylaws be included with roster. Mem-bers should be listed alphabetically. Cars could be listed by year and owner.
Best in Tow award discussed. Newsletter in the mail today. Next Board Meeting: December 3, 2019 at the Dutra’s
home 9AM meeting Meeting adjourned 10:37 AM Respectfully submitted, Joan Shelby Secretary

For Sale 1961 MGA, Old British White, $20,000
Selling my passion project, a 1961 MGA. Bought 10 years ago and had it shipped to Portland
from Denver. Since then I’ve done an on-body rebuild—either replaced or repaired almost everything.
Replaced the fenders, hood, apron, nose, right inner fender and pan behind the grill.
Painted Old British White, gray piping
Replaced wood floor boards and re wired.
New fuel tank and new fuel lines with upgraded fuel pump
New master, slave cylinders and brake lines.
Replaced engine with a 69 MGB 5 main engine
Header, electronic ignition
Oil cooler, MGB radiator and electronic fan
Rebuilt SU and professionally tuned,
Replaced transmission with a ford T-9 5 speed conver-sion kit
New rear shocks and gas tank
Added sway bar
New top and tonneau
Re built the seats with tan leather
New dark brown carpet
Re chromed windshield frame and new glass + new side curtains.
New luggage rack and front bumper guard
Halogen head light and driving lights
LED tail lights
This car was built to drive. My problem is that it’s not being driven and I have other projects I want to tackle.
Heads up, the body work is good, but it does have a new nose and if you know what you’re looking for under the bonnet you can see the repair... this car is not a restora-tion, it’s meant to be driven.
Lastly as an on body repair, the inner rocker panels were repaired. The repair is adequate, but on my to do list was to replace them.
I’ve been a MGA lover since high school and this is my third rebuild and it’s the best.
It’s a fun car to drive, raw compared to new car stand-ards. Great car for cruise ins and trips to the coast or Moun-tains. Lots of power and little weight.
My loss your gain! $20,000 I expect an inspection. Dan Hanenkrat 360-907-4491
1979 MGB—$9800
Yellow MBG with 22,327 original miles. Garage kept. New Michelins $9800. John Hutchison 541.993.7344 or [email protected].
