Background on the FB page: Mark Braunstein of Florida, Graeme Addie of GA and I (Texas) organized the Convention in May 2017 in Augusta, GA and while it was mostly aimed at owners of the 20+ vintage trikes we also had nine modern "5-speeders" there as well. Larry and Linda Eckler and Bob Boston represented dealers and Emil Rolando was there too. We got good sponsorship (Christopher John, Northshore Imports, Morgan America, Morgan Spares, Morgan West, Morgan Cars USA and Morgan Custom (Emil). Besides having social time and exploring local sights we had morning and afternoon seminars regarding repair and restoration taught by recognized hands-on experts in the field of Morgan 3-wheelers. We also had a "drive each others' Morgan 3-wheeler" event at a local school parking lot.

I no longer own the 1931 Super Sports Aero 3-wheeler but I'd love to participate myself (I'll drive the '71 Plus 8). We'll be in VA all summer (near Lexington, about 2 hours away from the Lodge).

Duncan, this is great to hear. Please, absolutely, publish and extend welcomes to all!

I'm sure we'd all love nothing better than to have an even larger turnout of vehicles, enthusiastic sponsors and talented educators. As you rightly imply, this will require more than yours truly alone to coordinate. To the extent anyone is willing to team, especially yourself and Rodger being local and folks with contacts in the M3W supplier community, please raise a hand! Specifically, we could probably break down the assignments as follows:

- Solicitation of MMC and Dealer sponsorships
- Invitations and coordination with Individual M3W guru's
- Seminar topic selection prioritizations
- Coordination with Hotel for facilities to accommodate seminars, meals
and entertainment based on the above
- Daily rally route planning and destinations
- Entertainment and awards
- Trailer storage option coordination
-Anything else?

I have zero pride of authorship. The more of us that help, the better!

Michael
