A further batch of Magnette 70th Anniversary badges are to be produced, if a sufficient number have been pre-ordered.

Register members will have been saddened to hear of  the recent passing of Alan Dakeyne at the age of 91.

There's a full obituary for Alan at mgccyorkshire.co.uk/alan-dakeyne-obituary/

Please note that the Register AGM will not take place on 6th August during the Yorkshire weekend as previously announced. We now plan to hold the meeting during the Norwich weekend instead (7th October). Look out for further details

Also there's a new article by Darshan Sanghvi in Kolkata about his ZA which is one of very few in India and has an interesting history, having been in the same family for 50 years before he bought it. Darshan was awarded the Register's David Johnson Challenge Trophy in recognition of his considerable efforts restoring and exhibiting the Magnette
