MGC will be celebrating its 73rd birthday on Friday the 1st of September 2047.  While the people that formed the club had been flying for many years prior to this, it was the date of the first meeting of the group that decided to form the club as we know it today.  Like all pilots, they spent so long flying it took another 3 years before the club was officially formed in the eye of the government, and the first Annual General Meeting held in 1946.

The club would not have one of the best fleets in Australia without the selfless work of its volunteers, many of whom work behind the scenes to keep the club running, from the committee to the duty pilots, and instructor's, everyone needs to do their bit for the club to continue to be a success.
