November 4, 2023 - British Invasion of Covington! |
|
|
Kevin Childers organized this wonderful Fall event that started with breakfast at Wally Hatchet’s for many of us. The next stop was at the corner of Highway 70 and Germantown Parkway to join up with the late sleepers. From there our journey took us on a scenic route through northern Shelby County and southern Tipton County to visit Kevin and Linda's shop - Klassic Auto Restoration Services. Following that visit we proceeded to the town square in downtown Covington, where we had time to do some shopping at the various stores surrounding the square - along with lunch at one of the local restaurants there. After lunch we left Covington and headed on a more or less westerly path toward the Mississippi River and then south through Drummonds and on to the famous Shelby Forrest General Store, where Kevin delivered a newly refreshed 1978 MGB to the store's owners - Doug & Kristin Ammons. Many thanks to Kevin for organizing such a great event on a beautiful Fall day! (Photos by Joe Reed, Al Ross, Carolyn Shepard, Bill Beeman and Rick Haumesser) |

September 18, 2023 - Member Recognition Awards |
|
|
Although not actually an event, Club President Al Ross requested that this be added to the Archives for future reference:
At the September general membership meeting the club presented monogrammed golf vests to Joe Reed and Robin Balton for their years of service to our club. Joe has been our web master for over 20 years and Robin has made signs and banners, for our car shows, charity auctions and club events for many, many years - and his sign company, Frank Balton & Company contributes to all club events. This is a special award to recognize and thank 2 members at years end . I hope this award becomes a tradition and would like to see all club members vote annually for future recipients. Al Ross, President |

GT-48 (short for Get Together
48.....this being the event's 48th year) was the 2023 annual convention
of the North American MGA Register. The BSCC was the host club, and the
endeavor was spearheaded by Hiram and Carolyn Shepard....with the help
of many, many tireless volunteer members. Other volunteers include (in
no particular order) Al Ross, Jerry Farrar, Jack Reynolds, Pam Irving,
Tom Wilson, Tony Harrington, Paul Burdette, Bob Watkins, Jim Hofer,
Chris Irving, Robin Balton, Ileana Feltman, Rebecca Blanchard, Steve
Feltman and Kevin Childers. I apologize if anyone has been left out of
this list. If so, please notify the webmaster and I'll add your name.
Everyone involved should get credit since this is the biggest event the
BSCC has attempted in many years and, by all reports, you did an
outstanding job! Photos below (most of them by Carolyn Shepard, Neville Mayfield and Chris Irving) are from our Facebook page..along with some new ones courtesy of Al Ross.... |

February 12,2023 - Super Bowl Party... |
|
|
Thanks to Dave White for another
super Super Bowl party. Everyone filled the table with delicious
appetizers that spoiled our ability to eat the clam shell space sauce
and marinara and meat ball sauce. Not having a particular team to cheer
for both Hi and I had our Memphis logo on tonight. Jim Hofer won the pot but probably should have because he had the most cash in the pot due to the prankster Robin Balton pushing him for more money to fill in the squares. Lucky Jim! Dave returned from Bangkok yesterday and did not miss a beat due to jet lag and a 12 hour time zone change. Thanks Dave. (Someday your sunken living room will kill me.) - Carolyn Shepard |
