TC Motoring Guild Turns 70 Years Old!
Although the group was loosely assembled back in 1952, TCMG was officially formed on June 19, 1954 in the offices of Road & Track magazine. This June we celebrated 70 years of honoring the MG TC! Our annual Summer Picnic Meeting doubled as a birthday party commemorating our seventh decade as a one make, one model club. A large number of historical artifacts from our archives were on display in a special exhibit put together by Steve Simmons and Rob Zucca. See the upcoming August newsletter for photos of this meeting.
TC Provenance List Being Updated and Modernized by TCMG
The well known TC Provenance List was created by TC owner Bob Stein well over a decade ago. Steve Simmons has assisted with data submissions and updates for the past few years but the list has grown too large to manage by hand. TC Motoring Guild has jumped in to help update, modernize and maintain the list. Two of our members, Mike Simmons and Steve Simmons are currently working to convert years of hand typed notes into a sorted and organized database of TC car numbers, owner names, locations and historical data. The project will take a tremendous amount of man hours but the end result will be a fully modern and searchable database, hosted on the TCMG website. You can see the old hand-typed Provenance List HERE until the new version is completed.
Our next monthly meeting will be held July 23rd on Zoom. The evening’s program will feature our members’ favorite TC photos. Members are encouraged to send in their favorite photo for inclusion in a slide show, and be prepared to explain the story behind it. Have one from a big tour? A race weekend? Working on the TC with the grand kids? We want to hear about it! Send photos to Joyce Edgar and she will present them as you tell the tale. To ensure we have time for everyone, each member will get time to tell about ONE story or situation. Please limit the total number of your photos to save time.
Note that anyone making a simulated journey to the meeting in a TC by driving a minimum of 10 miles on the day of the meeting will receive a point toward the Sargent Award.
June recap: 31 members attended our June Summer Picnic Meeting and TCMG 70th Birthday Celebration. 7 TCs were in attendance driven by Buckeridge, Edgar, Lemieux, M Simmons, S Simmons and Zucca. Thanks to Linda and Steve Simmons for hosting the party and TCMG history exhibit!

Monthly DIY Tours
The Summer DIY event is on! With apologies to those North of the border (and especially to those in England), the theme of this event is Independence Day. In celebration of this holiday, your task is to photograph your TC in an all-American or other good old-fashioned patriotic type setting. The more over the top, the better!
NOTE: This tour does not require you to drive your car! Just submit your photo(s) to Joyce Edgar by July 14th to receive a point toward the Sargent Award.
