This is an annual achievement award in memory of Richard Ladds, our erstwhile and esteemed Editor of Enjoying MG magazine for over 20 years who very sadly lost a brave battle with cancer in 2018. However, Richard’s legacy was his unstinting work in growing Enjoying MG into a widely acclaimed club publication that was key to the ongoing success of the MG Owners’ Club.
Examples of such activities include (but are not limited to):
Richard always liked to encourage the potential in young people, particularly through MG ownership. Richard’s wife Anna and family wanted to mark his passing in a fitting and appropriate way, and that has led to this award. Readers are able to nominate candidates who are members of the MG Owners’ Club for any activity in keeping with the spirit of the award.
Examples of such activities include (but are not limited to):
- Best contribution to Enjoying MG
- Outstanding photography
- Best website/forum/social media contribution
- Best restoration project
- Unsung Hero (for example, charity fundraising using your MG)
- Most enthusiastic MG owner
