THANKS!
7/17/2023
A heart felt thanks goes out from the 2023 GOF Organizers to the hundreds of GOF attendees and sponsors - without you there would have been only empty show fields, and some very lonely events. We're delighted that you put us on you calendar and made the trip - we really hope you enjoyed celebrating 100 years of the MG Sports Car with us in South Bend, Indiana.
AND...
To all the 2023 GOF Hosting Committee members for 2 years of hard work and worry - resulting in a GOF to be remembered.
We have posted a few photos below and and a link to see even more!

GOF 2024
GOF 2024 - SAVE THE DATE!
The Ohio Chapters of the MGTs and the BuckAyes of NAMGAR invite ALL MGs and their owners to have an Octagonal Time in the Heart of Ohio at the Cherry Valley Hotel in Newark, Ohio June 17th-21st.
Why will it be an Octagonal time? One reason is that the hotel has been built in the shape of two octagons, our favorite shape!
The Cherry Valley Hotel is located between Newark and Granville; it is in the Best Western Premier Collection. These small communities are surrounded by many superb MG roads. Including Athens County’s Windy 9, meant to be driven by our MGs.
There are plenty of things to see and do, it will be an MG Gathering of the Faithful you won't want to miss!
