Oh those good old days!

I still have my MPC green cards from 1994-1996 and silver from 1996-1997. I was in ADL and was underage but it didn't seem to be a problem. I can still remember my MPC number from back then! I still have the dark green long zipped passport/ticket travel holder with a long retractible leather loop...

I did a one week work experience at the ADL office in Year 10 and got to know all the people in that small office. The coordinator introduced me to the other staff as "the youngest MPC in Adelaide". I still recall finding my own bookings and typing in a message like "VIP, please upgrade"!

I was simultaneously also a member of the Young Discoverers Club - me and my younger sister. There was a nice small dark blue logbook which we got signed. There were also "points" to be earned which could be redeemed into gift coupons at Marathon Sports. I still remember going to the CX offices at ?St. George's Building and selecting the gifts there.
