Members Gatherings
Monthly Gatherings are open to all members and visitors. They are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7.45pm at Strathfield Golf Club in Strathfield NSW. At these gatherings you’ll be able to catch up with the latest happenings in the Club as well as enjoy a social evening with other members – we’ll usually see upwards of 100 members at a gathering. A guest speaker is often invited to present a topic of interest. Arrive early, enjoy a delicious meal at discounted MG Car Club Sydney rates, have a drink or a cappuccino at the bar and meet up with old (and young) mates. We also take this opportunity to offer our quality regalia products for sale, and provide access to the Club’s library of books and videos.
