Doug Hastie Award:
Description: This trophy was presented to the T Register by Brian Smyth - a Club Stalwart & Club Solicitor who helped get the club started in the late '50s. It is awarded annually to the T Register driver who is the highest achiever in the Club Drivers Competition in a T Type. It was named after Doug Hastie by Brian as up until it was created; he was the most consistent user of a T Type and set the example for other T Type owners to emulate. The intent of the award is to reward attendance and participation in designated non speed club events and activities in a T Type MG. Where an individual’s T Type is unserviceable and they attend in a borrowed car they are still eligible for points at the discretion of the T Register Committee. This is not the case however for sharing a car, with the exception of navigators in the Winter 100, where both driver and navigator if a T Type owner are eligible. The award year commences in December each year with the first non-speed club event and concludes with the last non-speed Club event in November (if held). Attending XPAGMUS will not gain award points. Scoring taken from T-Type class points score in Club Competition.

Le Mans Award:
Perpetual Trophy
Keepsake
Description: In June 1955 it was the intention of 'John Thornley Company' to announce the release of the new MGA and then run three of them in the Le Mans a few days later.

This trophy is named in honour of this event and venue. The award is presented to a member of the “MGA” Register who contributes significantly in a number of Club and non-Club activities such as general public activities that have advanced the reputation and status of the Register, along with the overall wellbeing of the MG Car Club Victoria.

John Thornley Award:
Perpetual Trophy
Keepsake
Description: The first MG Car Club was formed in England in 1930 when a group of private owners of MGs decided to join forces. After their first meeting, the elected secretary, John Thornley, visited the MG factory and met with the Managing Director, Cecil Kimber, to advise him of the clubs existence and to seek support. Kimber was quick to recognize the advantages of an active club helping to promote the use of his product. He offered Thornley a job in the MG Service Department which Thornley accepted. Thornley became Managing Director in 1953 and remained in the role until his retirement in 1969. He was in-charge when the MGB was released in 1962 - a new design by Sidney Enever. John Thornley was also the Chairman of the MG Car Club for many years until his death in 1993.
The award recipient will be selected by the B Register Committee giving consideration to B Register Members participating and assisting at MGCC events throughout the calendar year. B Register Committee Members are ineligible.

6/8 Trophy:
Description:
This award is called the 6/8 Trophy as the 'C' type is a 6 cylinder and the V8 is an 8 cylinder. The highlight of the Register year is the annual weekend touring during August commemorating the birthday of the MGB-GT- V8. Again, the emphasis is on having fun and enjoyment rather than amassing a lot of points. However, there is a perpetual trophy sponsored by the Register and based upon points for attendance at club meetings and/or events attended. Events include EMRs, the Twilight Tour, V8/C events, MG Car Club events and gazette rallies. No member can win the trophy in consecutive years. To participate all you have to do is register your attendance by seeking out and signing the C/V8 register book.
