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

 

 

 

MG Car Club Malta – Valentine’s Scenic Southern Run

 

The morning began in silence, the kind of stillness that only a February dawn can hold. Drivers waking up to their polished passion and those who not only wanted to bring along a friend or family member, also managed to wake up their better half early too.

 

At 08:00am, the chill over Marsa cut clean through the air. Breath turned to mist. Chrome gleamed under pale sunlight, shining armour and spit shined black accents, all for one goal. One by one, MG engines stirred to life near The Millenia, breaking the quiet with that unmistakable MG growl, warm, mechanical and reassuring.

​

The Valentine’s Run, postponed due to weather conditions, now not forgotten, was finally underway.

​

As the cars rolled south, the island awakened around us. Golden light spilled across terraced fields. The Mediterranean shimmered in the distance. Each curve of the winding road revealed another breathtaking vista, cliffs meeting sea, stone walls tracing the countryside, heritage landmarks standing proud against a brilliant blue sky.

 

There were moments of exhilaration on open stretches, moments of precision through twisting bends and countless shared glances between drivers who understand that an MG is not merely driven, it is an roaring experience.

 

The cold of dawn gave way to the warmth of the sun. Jackets loosened. Smiles widened. The rhythm of engines blended with the rhythm of the road, and for a 45 minutes nothing else mattered

 

The journey found its gentle finale in Marsaskala, where breakfast awaited at Zion. Coffee cups clinked, laughter echoed, and stories of tight corners and scenic straights were retold with growing enthusiasm, all looking forward for the next event.

 

 

Every route is more than a drive.

 

Bringing together for Friendship.

 

It is a heritage in motion.

 

The spirit of MG is alive and thriving under the Maltese sun the Octagon shines
