President’s April – March 2025

Hello again, and this month I’m pleased to report on the 2025 Annual General Meeting, held in the Clubrooms on Tuesday March 11th.

First up, the annual awards for 2024 are as follows:

  • Club Member of the Year: equal winners, Arthur Ruediger and John Roach
  • Club Competition Champion of the Year: Jason Edwards
  • Ladies Competition Champion of the Year: Faye Edwards
  • Competition Encouragement Award: Jack Kelly
  • President’s Award for outstanding contribution by a Club Member: Geoff Goode
  • MGA/Magnette Register Trophy: equal winners, Robert Grivell, Sandra & Alan Cardnell
  • MGF & Modern MG Register (The Tony Hick Trophy): equal winners, Roger Dawe and Mark Whibley
  • Confirmation of the winner of the Pre-War, Y and T Register’s Irving Cup: Arthur Ruediger
  • Confirmation of the Peter Auld Trophy recognising the outstanding contribution to the club ideals of Restoration, Preservation and Maintenance of MG Cars: Bob Bazzica (for the MG Arnold).


The other major business of the AGM was the election of officers. There were no nomination other than from existing Committee members, so the Committee for 2025 until the 2026 AGM remains as follows:

  • President, Stephen Marlow (second and final two-year term)


All other positions, one-year term:

  • Vice President, Steve Bowra
  • Secretary, Berry Treffers
  • Assistant Secretary, Bev Waters
  • Treasurer, Alan Cardnell
  • Acting Motor Sport Secretary, Bev Waters
  • Magazine Editor, Laurie Houghton
  • Secretary of Registers, Ken Burke
  • General Committee, Leigh Albertson, Lynden Burns, Tim Johnson, Arthur Ruediger.


In addition, the March Committee meeting endorsed Leigh Albertson as Assistant Treasurer and Russell Garth as Assistant Magazine Editor. These new positions were created and filled in the best interests of risk management so there is experienced backup in case of any eventuality and I thank Leigh and Russell for making themselves available.

I also thank all the Committee members for their support and I look forward to continuing to work with them in the best interests of you, the members. The theme for my second term is ‘involvement’ and I hope we’ll be turning the results of last year’s Member Survey into a program and direction which will have even greater appeal to all our 950 or so members.

That’s all for this month, Safety Fast!

Stephen Marlow
President.
