Welcome!
It’s likely you own a Mazda Miata (aka MX-5) if you’ve found this page. It’s also likely that if you are a first-time visitor, that you haven’t joined our merry band of enthusiasts. I hope that will change, starting today! We’re the Masters Miata Club. We’ve been waiting for you all along, and we hope you’ll take a chance on us by joining us at one of our upcoming events.
We’re the Miata Club of the 13-county CSRA. That’s a big territory to cover, and it’s tough to get folks who live out in the country to travel a long way to a meeting or an event. But let me add, it can be very worth your time. Why? Because as fun as it is to drive this wonderful roadster solo, it’s even more fun to join a line of radiant sports cars twisting and turning though hills and curves, be it the Dragon at Deal’s Gap or The Pass between Fury’s Ferry and Old Petersburg Rd. There’s a camaraderie born of shared roads and shared meals that’s hard to beat. Of all the accessories you can add to your car, a Miata Club chapter membership is the best value.
We meet once a month for dinner somewhere in the CSRA the first Thursday night of the month, and on the 3rd Saturday of the month somewhere else for breakfast. We take day trips and weekend overnighters, and it’s with these journeys that you expand your horizons by visiting places you maybe never considered visiting before.
If you already have a contingent of Miatas in you neighborhood or subdivision, come on out en masse; we’d love to have your for the event, for the drive, and for your company. Our event calendar is on the left, and all you need to do is show up and introduce yourself. We’ll take it from there!

Pool Party
Date: Saturday, July 15, 2000
Time: 11:00 AM
Place: Georgia Welcome Center
Members Attending: Bill Baugh, Bonnie Baugh, Brian Bogardus, Donna Bogardus, Karen, Breitinger, Kurt Breitinger, Jim Creer, Judy Creer, Carol Haff, John Haff and Rudy Wilmoth.
Guests Attending: Jim & Peta Culley.
Everyone except the Bogarduses met at the Welcome Center for the short drive to the Creer Estate. Brian and Donna beeped on their way by (nobody heard) to the Club P.O. Box to check the mail before ending up at the water filled hole in the ground behind 4047 Fairfax Street in Martinez.
As always there was more food than mouths. The Creer’s provided the bratwurst and hot dogs as well as all the fixin’s. Donna brought her world famous chicken & sausage shish-ka-bobs. John brought his blue ribbon cheese cake. I’m sorry if I forgot what everyone else brought, but there was plenty of high-octane human food. And then to top it off we had to suffer through some homemade peach ice cream, oh the pain.
After eating most of us tried in vain to burn some of the calories consumed by thrashing around in the pool. Jim has this huge inflatable dragon that is as hard to tame as U.S. Highway 129 between North Carolina and Tennessee. A lot of us tried to ride it only to be thrown off repeatedly. Some had more success than others, notably Carol, and it turns out this dragon requires a smooth and balanced application of power mixed with healthy respect just like the Gap. Because this is a family oriented publication we won’t even go into where the inflation valve on this green monster is.
Because Brian was only 2 weeks removed from knee surgery he really couldn’t do any diving, as such the 3rd Annual Big Splash contest never did get off the board (so to speak.) Jim tried a few wave makers but, nobody else joined in.
We ate, we swam, and the afternoon wore on. It wasn’t until only about half the attendees were left that we realized that we were supposed to have a meeting and elect the new slate of officers. Oh well, it’s not like the club will cease to exist. We’ll do it next time. Times like this just reinforce this year’s Presidential nominee, Rudy’s, idea for a separate business meeting. We get together for these rally’s and are too busy having fun to worry about mundane issues….

Once again we had another spectacular fireworks event at Fort Gordon. The Weatherman cooperated and our group consisting of more OTMs than Miatas left the Cracker Barrel at 7:03 for the slow drive to Fort Gordon. Carnival rides replaced our usual spot so we headed to the center of the field and [...] . . . → Read More: FIREWORKS EXTRAVAGANZA

The day started out rather comically as our designated breakfast spot wasn’t open yet for business, and an alternative down the road was closed altogether. We ended up at Dunkin’Donuts in Aiken before being led by Brian on a backroads jaunt to our designated rendezvous spot. And behold, we had 6 cars, count ‘em, six!!

The night lived up to expectations even if the play on the field didn’t: the Green Jackets trailed the entire came, ending with a 4-1 loss but the 6 of us managed to survive the heat & spilled beer; Autumn even ended up with a T-shirt! And we were treated to a gorgeous top-down drive [...] . . . → Read More: Green Jackets Game – Thirsty Thursday, June 17, 2010
