The purpose of the Columbia Gorge MGA Club is to encourage the preservation, ownership, operation and enjoyment of any of the MG models, to provide events and exhibits of MG automobiles and their owners, and to encourage careful and skillful driving on public roadways. In the interest of giving the membership the type of driving and social events they enjoy most, we welcome your comments.

Activities

The Columbia Gorge MGA Club meets on the second Friday of each month (except December). In the summer months, we have a short tour as part of the meeting. In addition, there are one or more Club sponsored events each month that could be a tour, rally, or social gathering. Our calendar also lists other interesting automotive events in the area. See the Activities page for details.

After the event, a recap of how it went and available pictures are placed on the Where We've Been page.

Regalia

The Columbia Gorge MGA Club has club insignia clothing for sale. See the Regalia page for pictures and ordering information. If you would like to have a name badge with either a pin- or magnet-back, you can order them on the Nametag page.

The Columbia Gorge MGA Club hosted the NAMGAR Get Together 28 featuring the MGA Coupe in 2003. See the GT-28 page for a recap and photos of this highly successful event. See the http://www.namgar.com site for details of the next GT.
