Hoosier A’s (The Indiana MG Register)
Website
The Hoosier A’s chapter of the North American MGA Register (NAMGAR) was established November 14, 1978. The Hoosier A’s is a non-profit informal organization dedicated to the preservation and enjoyment of the MGA. Membership in NAMGAR is encouraged, but not required. Current ownership of an MGA is not necessary, nor do you have to be a resident of Indiana to join. A newsletter (The Indiana MG Register)is published bi-monthly, with updates for event announcements.
From its beginning 25 years ago, the Hoosier A’s has continued uninterrupted – and is still going strong today. Over these years the organization has provided a home and activity base for MGA lovers across Indiana, and even in surrounding states. The basis of the club is good fellowship, car talk, driving, and “breaking bread” together at unique and interesting restaurants all across Indiana. During these years, the Hoosier A’s have hosted two NAMGAR GT’s (national “Get Togethers”), GT-7 in 1982, and GT-14 in 1989, co-hosted one GT (the combined MG GT-21 in 1996), and a number of Regional Meets.
The membership of the Hoosier A’s varies between 40 and 60 members. The club, in association with the other 2 Indiana MG Clubs, tries to have one event per month during the driving season – mostly involving driving tours featuring stops at historic, scenic, or other generally fun and interesting places. The one constant is the annual Club Birthday Party, a pot luck dinner held in mid November and featuring either a fund raising auction or gift exchange.
