3 July 2022

It’s July.  We have the 4th of July and a club dinner.  That’s it.

Now it’s up to you.  Get out there, in your MG of course, and have an adventure that you can tell us all about.

The Fourth of July falls on Monday, July 4th.  Nice how that worked out.  That means that working folk get an extra day off.  Except for all the noise, retired folk may not even notice.  However you celebrate, do so carefully.
​
The club dinner on July 21st, is being hosted by Ben & Brenda McCarty at the El Paso Bar & Grill, 5209 S. Sheridan in the Farm Shopping Center.  If this sounds familiar, it’s because this is a repeat of the May dinner that didn’t happen.  The last time we tried the power was off and the restaurant had to close.  We’re hoping for better luck this time.  Start time is the usual 5:30 and you can see the menu at: https://elpasobarandgrilltulsa.com/

That covers two days of the month, what to do with the other 29?  Lots of things come to mind, fixing your MG, washing your MG, waxing your MG, driving your MG or working an MG puzzle.

“An MG puzzle?  Tell me more,” you say.

In the same email as the newsletter there is a separate page.  That is the MG car show puzzle that I have painstakingly crafted* for your enjoyment. I have provided all the clues necessary and a grid layout needed to solve the puzzle.  Read the clues carefully and deduce the correct answers.
To answer the obvious questions, there is no prize, yet.  I’m still working on that.  And I am not open to bribes.  (That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try.  You might get lucky.)
​
A little bit of club business, we need a host for the August club breakfast on August 18.  If you’d like to volunteer, please contact Brian at brianbailey545@gmail.com

I know you’re chomping at the bit to get to the puzzle, but let me leave you with this.  Richard Nixon, who occasionally stepped over the line of legality, was considered very uptight and even wore a suit and tie to go to the beach.  But, did you know that he was a proficient musician who could play the piano, saxophone, clarinet, violin and the accordion.  You now know more than you did before.  Do with that as you please.
​
More later.

Here is the story and the clues, you'll have to make your own grid.  
The cities are Boston, Miami & Philly.  The locations are North, South & Central Avenues.  The times are 9:00, 9:15 & 9:30.

Rose, Tom and Sam are all proud owners of MGs.  They don't know each other but, co-incendently took their cars to a show last Saturday.
Using the clues below, can you tell me who lives in which city, where the car show was located and what time they got there?

1.  Sam did not go to the care show on North or South Avenue, but went to the 9:00 am car show.

2.  Boston's car show is not located on South Avenue.

3.  Tom went to the Miami car show.

4.  Rose went to the car show on South Avenue at a later time than Tom.
