In 2011, GoF West was held from June 13th thru June 17th in conjunction with MG2011 in Reno, NV, an event organized by the North American Council of MG Registers, representing the North American MGA Register, North American MGB Register, the American MGC Register, The New England MG “T” Register and the North American MMM Register. Every five years the Council coordinates an All-Register Meet and this was the first to be held on the West Coast. There were over 600 MGs in Reno from all over the country! For those of us who love these cars, this was a very rare opportunity to see cars from all over the country and meet people who share our interests. The New England MG “T” Register coordinates the activities for T-Series cars and GoF West was asked to organize the Rally, Funkhana, and Car Show. In turn, they asked the Sacramento Valley MG Car Club to be the host club for GoF West 2011 and to organize the pre-1956 car activities. The SVMGCC had plenty of experience putting on major events, having organized the NAMGBR National Meet in 1995 and NAMGAR National Meet in 1999.

Led by 2011 club President, Lawrie Alexander, (who chaired the 1995 & 1999 meets), the SVMGCC turned out in force and put on a great show. The Tuesday Funkhana, a Rally to Virginia City on Wednesday and the Car Show on Thursday were organized and run with cheerful efficiency and all who participated were pleased to note that the club successfully maintained (indeed, some said exceeded!) the traditions of GoF West in these events. In addition, the usual tech sessions, auction and meetings of the Advisory Council and Steering Committee took place, so that GoF West could count another great year in its long tradition of enjoyable annual gatherings.
