[Zmagnette] A HUGE Welcome to Peter Martin

Sat May 10 19:01:13 MDT 2014

Gee!!! I wish I had said that.  Thanks Steve for lending your incredible enthusiasm.  Peter, you may suspect that you're rather highly regarded - certainly among those of us who have met you.  A million thanks for all you do, and think, on behalf of the Magnette cause everywhere.

Allen

Not important, other than I missed the Great News that Peter Martin has honoured us with his magnificent presence.  As Alan already noted, we had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Peter at the 60th Anniversary, in August (wow, coming up on a year now . . . ).  I also met Peter in 2001, while he was assisting the Shortens at their booth at the Beaulieu AutoJumble.

Peter’s dedication to the MG, and Magnette in particular, is unquestioned.  He brings a huge heart, knowledge, passion and a wealth of resources to our merry band—matched only by his warm smile and integrity.

>> Hello Gang,
>>  
>> I've received the following note from David Halliday, encouraging membership for Peter Martin.  For those of us familiar with the UK Magnette community, and the MGCC Z and Farina Magnette Register, Peter needs no introduction.  Steve Kirby and I had the wonderful privilege of spending some time with Peter last August, while celebrating the Magnette 60th.  For those of you not familiar with Peter's many efforts and contributions to our Magnette cause, I've copied David's note below.
>>  
>> The MOST IMPORTANT thing is that Peter is now one of us and please join me in welcoming him to our humble midst,  aka the Looney Bin - North American style!  Welcome Peter!  We hope you enjoy our company as much as we anticipate enjoying yours!  We are honored by your presence in our ranks.

>> Cheers,

>> G'Day to you all,
>> 
>> Some of you are lucky enough to know Peter Martin already and to those of you who don't  I would like to introduce him.
>> 
>> Peter is the Historian for the MG Car Club Magnette Register.  He has been involved with Magnettes for many, many years and is very active in Magnette circles.  He is a hard working and deicated Magnette devotee.
>> 
>> Peter can also be very helpful to know when you are looking for parts.  In his spare time (what spare time I say!) he helps out and does some things with Lou and John and can also supply some part of his own.  He has a very good stock of secondhand parts as well as being able to source some new ones.
>> 
>> I hope that I have done a reasonable job of introducing him and I hope that he will correct any errors that I may have inadvertently made.
>> 
>> Anyway, Peter is very keen to join our friendly group and I am sure that his membership would be a great benefit to us all.
>> 
>> Alan, if the group are happy to have Peter join, could you please arrange the formalities? 
>> 
>> Kind regards,
>> 
>> David
