V8 Annual General Meeting 2020

An alternative online V8 AGM will be held instead, although not a live Zoom type of meeting, with the agenda released in the formal notice on the V8 Website together with various reports, including the V8 Register's accounts for 2019 with the V8 Treasurer's report, and the nominations of Members wishing to stand for election to the V8 Committee.

Report for the online V8 AGM 2020 from the V8 Bulletin Board Admin

The V8 Bulletin Board attracts good quality posts with useful information which is accurate and complete. Access to the V8BB is only available to registered V8BB users who have both registered an MGV8 with the V8 Register and are current Members of the MG Car Club or a recognised overseas branch or affiliate. Our aim for the V8BB is quality rather than quantity of posts and we discourage prattle and unpleasant posts by moderating them.

The V8BB Admin receives, screens and processes a regular flow of applications for V8BB access and monitors the forum in case any moderation might be required. A significant number of false applications are received (about 2 in every 5) which require checking to verify they are current Members. Some of the applications use clearly improbable MG Car Club membership numbers like "1" which inevitably raise the question whether they knew Cecil Kimber! Sadly the "freeloader" mentality is a frequent feature of internet activity but V8BB access is a membership benefit.
