Name: Allan Goodman
Position: Membership Coordinator/Branch Webmaster

Bio: Al’s interest in British cars only started a few of years ago with the pre-retirement purchase of a 1971 MGB GT. He was looking for a hobby car to keep him busy during retirement and to mainly stay out of his wife’s way. So far, the plan is working.
