CHAIRMANS REPORT-Richard Liddick
As I look back over the past year I can take pride in our accomplishments, we had a fantastic convention in Reno. While the turn- out was not as high as
I would have liked to have seen, I believe those that attended had a good time and took home a lot of fond memories. I want to thank the volunteers on the
MG Council, the Reno All British Car Club, the NAMGBR Officers, coordinators and members that helped with making this event unforgettable. I am sure
Tony Burgess will have something to say about this in his report.
Continuing with the positive, during the 2010-2011 calendar year, NAMGBR was able to give back to the members by providing every member a special
20th anniversary key fob, a special edition 20th Anniversary MGB Driver at no cost. In addition, we subsidized a portion of the fee for Register Night meal
a MG2011 in an effort to keep costs down and have greater attendance. These were one-time expenditures that were our way of saying thank you to the members.
We have continued to have a strong advertising presence in the major MG and British car press. We have had representatives at the British Motor Trade
Association Annual Meeting.

I do have one item that I was hoping to see progress on that is still incomplete and that is the updating of our web site. I have ask- for a volunteer from the
membership that could help modernize our website, looking to avoid the cost of having a professional service do this work for us. While a couple of members
contacted me and offered help, none has followed through on the offer. The NAMGBR Executive has been in touch with a couple of services but these come
at a cost that would involve raising dues to cover the cost. I am not sure if the members want to bear that cost. We are trying to get a feel for what the members
think and will continue looking at our options. A proposal was presented during the AGM that will be evaluated.
In closing I want to thank all of the Registrars and Coordinators for helping make my job easy. There are a few in particular that I want to acknowledge.
They are: Our Secretary Denny Elimon, Denny spends countless hours dealing with membership matters. Our MGB Drive Editor Robert Rushing and Charles
deBourbon the Art Director they put out the best not for profit MG publication in the world (I am bias) Our Vice Chair Kim deBourbon she deals with the
chapters regarding insurance and maintains club member records. Tony Burgess, our Convention Coordinator, working with Tony over the past 5 years on MG-2011,
I became convinced that he does not sleep. And finally to our outgoing- Treasurer, Alan Magnuson. Alan like Denny spends countless hours making sure our bills
get paid on time, tracking where the money comes from and where it goes. Alan has been in this position since 2006, stepping in to complete Susan Degan's term.

VICE CHAIRMANS REPORT-Kim deBourbon
The vice chairman's primary duties are to work with affiliated clubs to process requests for insurance certificates and maintain club affiliation information.
Here's my report on both areas.
Insurance- By my count, our affiliated clubs have been issued insurance certificates for 45 events so far this calendar year.
All but two came to me first, with only a few clubs sending them in directly to J.C. Taylor, as they used to be able to do. J.C. Taylor lets me know if any "unauthorized"
requests come their way, and I let those clubs know that the requests have to go through the NAMGBR vice chairman first, so that we can verify the club is in good
standing. Almost all were sent in by email, using the PDF form which enables clubs to fill out the request on their computer. This has greatly improved legibility, plus
I can easily adjust the content if they haven't filled it out correctly. Having the PDF's on file also greatly improves our ability to track the requests, and of course gets
them processed more quickly, as PDFs can be forwarded to J.C. Taylor right away.
Many clubs are still under the impression that they have to have a certificate for their event in order to "get" coverage. However, certificates are only needed if a venue
requests one as proof of coverage.
I have made an effort this year to tell clubs when they are asking for a certificate unnecessarily. Such as! When-they are having a driving event on public roads with no
specific venue.
Some want the certificates anyway, so I have gone ahead and processed those. But- if we can cut down on unnecessary work for everyone so much better.
I will be updating our insurance FAQ packet and sending it out with the re-affiliation letter at the beginning of 2012.
Club Affiliations- We have 97 affiliate clubs on the books.
We now have 85 percent of our clubs (83 of the 97) re-affiliated through the online form. While our online form is somewhat clunky, it does streamline the process by
sending the results to the secretary, the vice chairman and the web master all at once, so that all may update their records.
53 filled out online re-affiliation forms in 2011. 30 filled out online re-affiliation forms in 2010
The annual vice chairman's letter to the clubs will go out at the beginning of 2012, mostly by email now that we have up-to-date contact info for most of the clubs.
This email will contain a PDF of the message, which clubs may print and bring to their meetings or forward. It will also contain an active link to get them to the
re-affiliation form on the NAMGBR website.
In addition to thanking each club for its affiliation, the letter will remind clubs of the benefits of NAMGBR affiliation and also the requirements to remain an affiliate
in good standing, including the use of the NAMGBR logo in their newsletters and websites, where it should also be an active link.
It is my goal for 2012 to audit the club newsletters and websites for the required NAMGBR info, to make sure everyone is complying by helping to promote the
national organization.

SECRETARY REPORT- Denny Elimon
I am pleased to report that the North American MGB Register continues to remain strong- our current membership is at and all time high with now over two
thousand active members. We have successfully, linked together over seven thousand five hundred members, throughout our twenty one year history. As we
enter a new year we encourage members to continue to support our efforts to upgrade our website, helps us remain financially strong, and promote our organization.
We are pleased to have members and affiliate clubs in all fifty United States and several foreign countries. We have representation in Canada, England, Netherlands,
France, and Australia. The back bone of NAMGBR has been our ninety-seven affiliate clubs and the volunteers of these clubs that continue to link owners together
and introduce them to our organization. Membership both past and new, are the heart of our organization. Our members remain our best recruiters.
We saluted our active members this year with a special anniversary edition of the MGB Driver, a beautiful anniversary key fob, and a special events register night
event during MG2011 in Reno, NV. The current Officers and many volunteers that contributed to our anniversary are recognized and congratulated, for their
contribution of their time and efforts for our 20th Anniversary. We are especially proud of our active members that have remained with us, many for the entire twenty years.
We continue to welcome new owners and especially new affiliate clubs to our organization, during our current fiscal year, we have signed up two hundred sixty new
members and four new clubs. Many of these new members report that they were encouraged to join NAMGBR by the previous owner or local club. We have also
seen an increase in contacts regarding dash plaques displayed in their cars, new owners like to know the history of their car and what the plaque represents.
Membership renewals have remained strong again this year. New member joins have served to keep our membership at an all- time high. With membership change
and the addition of our New Generation Class, we will succeed in keeping the MG name alive and on the road!
As I enter another year as you Secretary, I again want to thank everyone for their support, and encouragement. IT has been my pleasure to serve members and clubs
through our organization. We should remain focused on our continued growth and success for years to come. As I enter the last year of service as your Secretary,
feel free to contact me if you would like to join the NAMGBR team. Never miss an opportunity to introduce a new member to our organization and to share a story
of the MG with a young new potential owner.
I would like to recognize the North American Council of MG Owners responsible for the all register events of MG2011. "For a job well done" In attendance is
Rick Ingram Chair, and Tony Burgess, Treasurer which I would like to call upon to give us a report on the Council, while it is early to comment on events for 2016,
perhaps they can update us on the council. The Council is staffed by Officers of the various register groups, working together to provide owners this event.
In closing I want to especially thank our term ending Treasurer Alan Magnuson and wife Laura, for their dedication, guidance, friendship and assistance during my term,
We have worked together closely over the years. I am confident we will be able to find a new roll for them to remain active

MGB REGISTRAR REPORT- KEN SMITH
Currently we have details on 3,341 MGB's on the database. This includes 431 Limited Edition MGB's and 140 1967 MGB/GT Specials plus 17 genuine factory
V8 GT's. Numbers for the 1974 ½ MGB's will, I'm sure be submitted by the appropriate Registrar, although these are included on the main data base. The split
between MGB Roadsters and GT's is approximately 80/20.
Throughout the course of the year we receive many new registrations, although I am sure that many current members have not registered their MGB's with me.
That is why I constantly exhort members through the pages of the MGB Driver, to send me details of their car(s). The inclusion of registration by our Secretary,
in new member's packets is also appreciated. We also receive many queries both by regular mail, and especially people trying to find an MGB they once owned.
However, if a car does not appear on the register, or has never been registered with the NAMGBR this is sometimes an impossible task.
However, sometimes we do have success such as tracing a development MGB roadster sent from Abingdon to Texas for hot weather testing in 1978 and which
will be the subject of an in-depth article in a future issue of the MGB Driver.
We not only receive inquiries from North America and Canada, but increasingly as word of NAMGBR spread quite a few from Europe and Australia. We have
sent information to England, Norway, Belgium, France, Luxembourg and Australia.
We maintain a constant dialog with the MG Car Club and the jubilee & LE Club (J.U.L.E.) in Britain, also with the MG Car Club of Holland, and the MG Car Club
of Germany who have most helpful in supplying information on MGB's exported to Europe. Next year 2012 will mark the 50th anniversary of the launch of the MGB
and a special 52-page booklet is being produced in the UK to mark the occasion. I am proud to have been ask by John Watson, Chairman of the MGCC MGB
Register to contribute a feature on the MGB's, launch 50 years ago, in America, for this project. I intend to highlight clubs, conventions, and sheer enthusiasm for
"Britain's Most Popular Car".
We would also like to remind members that if you sell your MGB to please, advise us where it's gone. My regular column in the pages of the MGB Driver bring
a constant source of information from members each issue, and where relevant we endeavor to pass this on to readers
Finally, I would like to Thank, all members who sent me best wishes following my recent medical excursions-we missed you all at Reno, MG2011

EDITOR REPORT- Robert Rushing MGB Driver Editor
We've had another great year with the MGB Driver, We get a lot of feedback from our membership and we try to publish all of it in the Letters to the Editor
section of each issue, We also get a number of submissions for Readers Rides and we had a great Cover Girl contest with some truly beautiful pictures sent
into us. For the first time in MGB Driver history, we had a special 7th issue in honor of our 20th Anniversary. This was a major undertaking and could not
have been accomplished without the help of a lot of people. We had a number of significant articles over the past year with, a special thanks to Ken Smith
and Dave Braun for the quantity and quality of the articles they provided. I would also like to thank all the other members who have submitted great pieces
and to John Twist for his Tech Talk columns, keep articles coming-without you, our magazine would not exist!
Finally, I have to give the annual mention of my unending appreciation for Charles deBourbon, I would not even attempt to complete the Driver without his help.

Advertising Coordinator Report- Charles deBourbon
Advertising for 2011 billing schedule was changed. A
ll advertiser invoices for the MGB Driver is due in January. Advertisers who start advertising in the
MGB Driver after the month of January their invoice will be prorated for the remaining months ending in December. All advertisers are paid up.
Advertisers who are slow in sending their checks, will be dropped after 60 days past due. These new policies have been instituted this year for the first time
since the inception of the MGB Driver. I feel as the membership grows so will the interest in advertising. The readership of the MGB Driver goes well
beyond NAMGBR members. MG car clubs around the country find the MGB Driver a great source of information and entertainment. Members need
to seek out possible advertisers and bring that information to my attention. Potential advertisers can be found in every car show our members attend
and in communities where they live. There will be a postcard mail out to our member clubs requesting them to spread word about advertising; an email
reminder broadcast twice a year would be helpful.
Advertisers feel supporting NAMGBR and the MGB Driver, are funds well spent keeping NAMGBR going. As always, it has been an honor to serve
as the Advertising Coordinator for the MGB Driver
Respectfully Submitted-Charles deBourbon Advertising Coordinator

CONCOURS REPORT- Bob Gloyd Concours Coordinator
There were seven cars participating in the concours at MG-2011, all MGB's most of which were coached in from the field. The Don Haytor Top Points
Award was presented to Simon Dix for his 1971 flamingo red MGB roadster.
There were a couple of issues that need to be reviewed, first is attracting cars to Concours. I am finding that we have to recruit more and more from the
field rather than having people sigh up in advance. Also, I would like to see more Midgets enter the event. There were a few excellent examples on display
bit I was unable to talk them into entering. I am not sure how to address these 2 issues. There was one judging issue that I received an email about after
results were sent to participants. One car was judged down as not having an "unleaded only" gad decal. The car was a Canadian delivered vehicle and
was not equipped with an unleaded engine in Canada for that model year. I will update the registration form for Concours to include "Country of delivery"
to assist in recognizing differences.
This brings up Judges. We do not use "professional" judges but rely on volunteers to preform scrutiny. I would like to remind the NAMGBR Board
that our "charter" states that cars will be judged by both NAMGBR representatives as well as local volunteers. I have tried to keep the judging mix to
2 NAMGBR judges with the host club identifying the remaining 4 if we do not have any pre event volunteers, Ideally, I would like to have 2 experienced
judges and 2 from the host club. For 2012 event, a 3 time Concours participant and the Top Point recipient, Morell LaRue- has already volunteered to
serve as judge. We need to assure in advance that we have identified the judges in advance so we are not scrambling the day of the show, Even though
we try to limit the time judges must spend on each car, the judged have been very diligent and have taken their duties of scrutinizing the cars seriously.
This means that the judges sacrifice their day at the show and we should have some sort of certificate to present them as recognition of their participation.
Each year there is chatter in various forums on the internet about "original" cars vs. "restored cars, or "trailer queens" vs. driven cars and what should be in
Concours or what should take precedence in judging. There have also been suggestions as to adding additional Concours categories for original class,
restored class, etc. In addition there has been discourse on the use of the "Original MGB Clausager' book as our guideline. At this point in time, I am not
in favor of splitting the Concours into classes as it would add an additional level of complexity that without strict judging guidelines or the use of professional
judges would cause more controversy than it would resolve. In addition, even with its flaws, the Clausager book is the best reference we have available and
should continue to be used as our guide.
Unfortunately due to scheduling conflicts I will not be able to attend the 2012 event. I have been negotiating with James Woolf to stand in and coordinate
Concours at the event and would appreciate any assistance the NAMGBR board can provide him.
Respectfully Submitted- Bob Gloyd

SERVICE COORDINATOR REPORT-Bruce Wyckoff
This year the Mutual Aid Directory set a new record in distribution. In addition to mailing copies to the members of NAMGBR, we also mailed
copies to members of the American MGC Register, North American MGA Register and the "T" Register. By including members from these registers,
we increased the number of contacts in the booklet by 150% and covered regions in the United States and Canada that never had representation before.
We will encourage participation with these registers again in 2012, if the logistics can again be worked out and a fair arrangement on cost be agreed upon.
Once again this year, we want to thank the businesses that support the Directory through the advertising. We have a number of companies that answer the
call every spring and send in their advertising and checks to help defray some of the costs involved with publishing the MAD, I would encourage all the
members of NAMGBR (and the other registers) to support these businesses in the same way they support us,
As always, the goal will be a Mutual Aid Directory in every NAMGBR glove box by start of travel to MG-2012 in Dillard Georgia. Connie and I are
looking forward to spending time in Georgia, a place we called home for a couple of years.

REGALIA COORDINATOR REPORT- Connie Wyckoff
Since taking the position as regalia coordinator some changes have been made to the pricing of our regalia items, to cover postage increases.
New items have been added and are being evaluated to be added to our inventory. It has been a wonderful experience to meet and talk with
the many owners.
Regalia sales for Reno were excellent. Since it was our 20th year, we offered an anniversary shirt that members could purchase, Anniversary
key fobs were given to all members. Request for MGB Driver continue to come in.

1974 ½ MGB REGISTRAR REPORT- Scott Perry
It's been a fairly quiet year for the 1974.5 Register. We now have a total of 205 cars listed. There are a few more in there but I only officially
count ones with VINs. Of those I've added over the last year, very few have been submitted through the website or via Ken Smith. Rather, I've
found them on eBay or through talking with owners I come across. It's been mostly Roadsters comprising the new entries and among those is the
earliest known (360284G) out of California. In fact it's so early it pre-dates the range on VINs we list on the official page. I'm having difficulty
getting any more detail on that one as it was an e-bay car and the trail went cold when the auction ended.
I did not make it out to MG2011 and document those (very fine) that were there. In favor on my MGCGT, I sold 74.5, right before the event
so not only did I not get to drive it, but I couldn't sue it as a "vehicle" to promote our register. I have my eyes open and the hunt is on (comment
deleted to protect the author) for a 74.5 Roadster to take its place. I'm holding out for a super original car which will serve as an ongoing basis
for authenticity and tech articles. I'd like to get more member involvement in terms of submissions for the MGB Driver and that'll be my general
goal moving forward.

100,000/200,000 REPORT MILE REGISTRAR-Jai Deagan
We ordered and received a supply of 100K dash plaques. This new version has the 800 number and the web address under the NAMGBR logo
. We have a good supply of plaques for the 200k registry.
The database currently contains 177 cars with 160 members. Some members have registered more than one car in the sub-register. There were 5
members who joined the 100k Register. This is the first year in some time where I did not receive any 200k register requests. The new members
of this Registry were MGB's.
As has been the case in the past a majority of the new members of this sub registry this year were fairly new members.
Many different models of MG's are represented in the registry. The greatest majority of owners have an MGB or MGBGT. Next most plentiful model
are Midgets and several MGC and MGCGTs. Members have joined this sub-register from north to south and from coast to coast. It appears that a
majority of the members of this sub-Register are still members in good standing of NAMGBR.
A somewhat surprising thing was that no one sent in a request to join the 100Kk/200K Registry who had reached the mileage while driving to
MG2011 in Reno.
I still get occasional request to join this registry from persons who are not members. When this occurs, I send them a polite response with information
on joining NAMGBR.

MIDGET REGISTRAR REPORT- COL. Robert Swetzer
Although we had only 14 midgets at MG-2011, they were cars that we could really be proud of. Some of them would have done well in the Concours
had they been entered. Perhaps next time this may happen, the register has been growing at a moderate pace, with 15 cars added so far this year. I
believe that, at last, there is a growing in preserving the midget breed, possibly attributable to fifty year anniversary celebration. I have seen this at our
Tucson British Car Register and I am certain that it is true elsewhere as well. Coming up I hope a way to reach out to more owners, possibly through
direct contact with local clubs.
Respectfully Submitted- Robert Swetzer

ORIGINAL OWNER REGISTRAR- Bill Hawkins
There are 104 original MGB Owners presently registered. I usually receive a few requests each year, as owners decide to admit that they have
had their cars since new. The requirements for an Original Owner are documentation of original purchase which sometimes involves quite a bit of searching.
Even all the paperwork for a 1980 MGB could easily be lost over a 30 year period. When you factor in the MGB production time span was 18 years
I am constantly amazed at the documentation that our Original Owners retain and present as evidence of their ownership. I have copies of documents of
many state's Department of motor vehicles, canceled checks, bank loan statements, British Motor Corporation and British Leyland Owners Service policies
and British Heritage Trust Certificates. Some send in yellowed snap shots of themselves as young MG owners in their new MG. Many times they will also
include beautiful perfect color digital photos of the same MG (still looking pristine) and themselves, much grayer but still proud. I have lost two Original
Owners in my local club, the North Carolina MG Car Club in the past few years and I have happily discovered three "new" ones. Interesting enough one
was a 1962 MGB and another was a 1980 MGB Limited Edition.
On my limited budget being retired, I provide each original owner with a certificate, welcome letter, Original Owners number, which is stamped in a metal
dash plaque until my supplies exhausted. I also have Original Owners Grill badge for sale for $25.00. I have asked applicants send a token $1.00 for
postage to help defray costs. I plan to submit some stories of Original Owners in the future for possible publication in the Driver.

ELECTION RESULTS-KIM deBourbon
NAMGBR annual conducts an election for officer's, officers are limited to two (2) year terms with offices alternating for Chairman-Treasurer
and for Vice Chairman-Secretary. This year elections were held for the office of Chairman and Treasurer. This year's election was conducted by
Vice Chair Kim deBourbon. Ballots were mailed to ninety seven affiliate clubs, thirty nine clubs returned ballots.
Richard Liddick was elected to a new two-year term as Chairman, and David Mullen was elected to the position of Treasurer in this year's North
American MGB Register elections. Both were unopposed on the ballot, and no write-in votes were received for either office.
Affiliated club participation in the election process was good considering these were one-man races, with 39 0f 97 eligible clubs returning their ballots.
(That's a 40 percent voter participation rate, which beats the last election in 2010, when voter turnout was only 37.8 percent)
Kim debourbon announced this year's election results:
Richard Liddick elected as Chairman-2yr term
Dave Mullen elected as Treasurer-2yr term
Chairman Liddick thanked everyone for their support, especially Alan Magnuson for his service as treasurer, he then introduced new Treasurer David Mullen
Motion was made to accept the election results, seconded and approved.

NEW BUSINESS
A request was made by Robert Rushing to consider adding an additional annual award for the BEST MGB DRIVER ARTICLE submitted to
MGB Driver. Discussion was held regarding a possible naming of the award if approved, a decision was deferred until a later date. The Officers will review,
discuss, and take action on the request during a future conference business call.
A request was made to make increased NAMGBR efforts in the New Generation area to welcome and encourage young adults to become involved with
MGs'. Information was presented on companies that have available youth program materials that are currently available. Chairman Liddick will follow up
by contacting the current registrar and report back to the officers.
