I have tried to stay out of this and most of the comments on this site,
but perhaps I can contribute. The Texas Club is an official Centre of
MSCC, just like Cranmog, etc. and as secretary, I get full reports on
the happenings. That is to say, the same reports as the other Centres
receive. Last week, I received the Tribunal rewport from MSCC, and it is
as you see on the Manxmog site. However, with it was a critique by MSCC
as to the errors in the decision. Very interesting. Consideration is now
being given to appeal the decision with a cost of "a maximum of 750
pounds". So it goes on.
I don't want to elaborate at this late hour, however, as perhaps, the
only active MSCC Centre in the US, I am willing to accept your comments
and pass them on to the reigning board. In fact, if you are a MSCC
member, and not part of a formal Centre, perhaps you coulld join the
Texas Centre and by weight of numbers, we could get something going.
This does not mean pay dues for the Centre membership, only if you
wished also to be a member of the Texas Morgan Motor Car Club. this
requires a $20 payment and you receive a monthly newsletter. But I
digress. I'm just getting my two cents in, in case you want some of your
comments carried directly. The TEXAS CENTRE gets to vote!!!!!
For clarification, while the Morgan Motor Car Club is also an
"affiliated Club" it is also a rare non UK Centre of the MSCC.
