Events Bulletin
A good start just after a storm. A beautiful wintery day
Malta faced a cold, icy winter night last Friday as the club held its first run of 2026. Saturday morning came as a complete surprise, with roads blanketed in white hail, casting doubt on whether the Sunday run could go ahead. Lo and behold, Sunday morning broke partly cloudy yet still cold, but good enough to fire up our engines for an early 7:00 a.m. ignition.
Those who managed to venture out headed towards the northern part of the island. Although most country roads wind through valleys, conditions remained dry and suitable for driving. The route led us to Armier, where we were also treated to the sight of many other automobiles, showcasing a wide variety of styles and eras.
25th January 2026. The MG Car Club Malta hosted its Annual General Meeting at the Filarmonic Marija Annunzjata Balzan, welcoming members for a morning steeped in fellowship and a shared appreciation of classic British motoring.
Members gathered from 08:30 for coffee and conversation, setting a relaxed and convivial tone ahead of the formal proceedings, which commenced at 09:00hrs. Throughout this time, and indeed for the entire event, the club’s Technical Officer, Frank Mallia, played a key role in ensuring that all arrangements were meticulously prepared and that the meeting ran smoothly from start to finish.
Club Secretary Sandro Zammit then formally opened proceedings, welcoming those present and introducing Club President Joseph Casapinta, who delivered an address reflecting on the club’s achievements over the past year and the road ahead. Treasurer Gordon Gilford followed with the presentation of the club’s financials, confirming a stable and healthy outlook for the club.
Looking firmly towards future motoring adventures, Jonathan Vella, supported by Ray Agius, presented the Events Programme for 2026, outlining a calendar designed to keep MGs on the road and their owners firmly behind the wheel.
A highlight of the morning was the presentation of the President’s Award to Stephen Pace, recognising his dedication, commitment, and valued contribution to the MG Car Club Malta.
The meeting concluded in true British tradition, as members gathered to enjoy a full English breakfast, rounding off the morning with lively conversation, shared stories, and the unmistakable Friendship that defines the MG Car Club Malta.
