Enjoying MG for February Publication

Enjoying MG:
We had a great Christmas Dinner at The Inn On The Lake, with 23 members and partners present, unfortunately Mike and Alison could not attend as they were unwell. Leigh, Sharon and their staff who look after us throughout the year produced another excellent meal.
Our first run of the year is the “Cobweb Duster”  which is on the 1st January to the The Horse & Groom, Clapham. 15 High Street, MK41 6EQ, arranged by Martin & Jackie.

We have a lot of members booked for the Bicester Scramble on 5th January – let us know if you’re going so we can meet up.

We don’t have much formal planned until April when we have the MK Classic Run from the Poplars Garden Centre, the Millbrook Proving Ground on the Alpine Circuit, then on to Prodrive who have opened their museum for the coffee stop, before finishing at the Wing at Silverstone.

The event is organised by Mike & Allison with all proceeds to MK Hospital Neonatal Unit, Little Lives. Details
on our club website.  As usual MK MGOC will be providing marshals in support of this great local charity.
You can contact Mike or Alison via their 01525 290117 number or email info@mkclassictours.co.uk

Enjoying MG Post & November AGM Update

We had our Christmas dinner  at The Inn on The Lake, with 23 members and partners attending, Leigh & Sharon who look after us throughout the year produced another excellent meal.

At our AGM, Brian and Ian agreed to continue in their current roles, although Brian will step back and asked members to assist in planning events. Yvonne has agreed to do the monthly Enjoying MG reports and this is part of her first post.
At the November meeting and AGM, there was a good attendance of over 20 members including a new member Mark, who joined us that evening . A number of things were discussed  including planned outings for next year 2020. Overall 2019 was busy with the monthly meetings well attended.
During October Mike, Terry & Alan did the” Autumn Sun Run ” in France and Yvonne and Ian did the Autumn Gold Run to Stotfold Mill Bedfordshire which is really worth a visit.

Our first run of the year is the “Cobweb Duster”  which is on the 1st January to the The Swan at Bromham, arranged by Martin & Jackie. We don’t have much planned until April when we have the MK Classic Run from the Populars Garden Centre to Silverstone which is organised by Mike & Allison all proceeds to MK Hospital Neonatal Unit, details on our club website.
Congratulations to Brian & Jenny, & Ian & Yvonne on the recent births of their grandsons.

Wishing everyone a safe motoring New Year.

October Club Night Follow Up

We’re coming to the end of another busy and successful year for the club, so it was great to see so many of you at the October Club Night.
Yvonne has taken delivery of her brand new MG3 the first ‘modern’ MG owned by a club member.

We had our final summer Mid Month Run to a country pub for dinner travelling to the Crown at Gransborough. It was a pleasant drive and a great way to wind up the season. Again thanks to Yvonne for a great suggestion. We will restart them in May/June next year.
COMING UP>>>>
The event season is starting to wind down now although we have quite a few members with tickets for the final Bicester Scramble of the year on the 6^th. However, as I write, the weather forecast looks like rain all day, so I think the turnout will be low.
November 6^th Club Night at the Inn on the Lake and AGM.
– Please, Please, Please, make every effort to come along. It’s the most important meeting of the year where committee members get to know what events you’d like to do. It is your club and we need your input. The AGM part of the meeting will only take about 30-40 minutes, then you can get back to having a chat and catch up.
– Committee We really need more members to take on roles on the committee, helping to organise events etc. I would really like to stand down as Club Secretary. I have run the club (with Ians excellent support) for many years now and am struggling to give the club the attention it needs. Please will you consider this carefully and let us know if you can help in any way, it is not onerous.

December 4^th Club Night at the Inn on the Lake and Xmas Dinner.
I have booked the Inn on the Lake for our annual Christmas bash.
ACTION!!!! PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU’D LIKE TO JOIN US. I have made a provisional booking but will need final numbers soon.

January 1^st Club Cobweb Duster. Please note no club night in January
One of our most popular events, a run to a nice pub for lunch where we can chat about how much we enjoyed the Queens Speech and the annual game of Monopoly.

Thanks to Martin who is investigating a venue for us.

Text for Enjoying MG:
August started with a bang when we had around 30 members attend the club night on the 7th, Terry brought some “B” spare parts as he was clearing his garage, which were quickly snapped up. Michael & Alison gave a briefing to
those who would be marshals at Claydon and Ian took orders for club polo’s
and sweaters.
The 18th was “Cars To The Claydons” which saw entrants start from Toddington for a scenic run to Claydon House, with all monies going to the Little Lives charity.

The morning at Claydon was very wet until about 10am then it became a very pleasant and warm day. The setting at Claydon House was delightful as the cars parked in the gardens along with the cars from the Lotus club and
vintage cars and tractors. Lady Alexandra Verney and her PA Tory were very grateful for our support and made us welcome. Sunday was a great success for all.
On the 22nd we had our Mid week run out to the  Plough at Simpson, a newly refurbished pub. We had 18 members and partners attended, with 15 dining, the food was very good and there was a good selection of choices on the menu. I think we may visit the Plough again in the future.
We’ve still got a number of events in the pipeline to discuss at our 4th September club night. There is the Wings and Wheels event at the IBCC in Lincolnshire on the 15th September. A possible Mid Month Run on the 19th
September, Bicester Heritage Scramble on 6th October, Haynes Museum 12/13th October.

If we have time we could add in a scenic tour before the end of the summer. Safe driving.

Cheers Brian and Ian

Kimbolton Event 18th July

On the 18th we had 10 cars join us for this yearly event, the weather was a bit damp first thing but improved and during the day got quite warm but got a bit windy later on.

We had a good selection of cars and a couple strays, with Terry’s Porche & Roger’s Jaguar but as a club we were not too fussy. Included are a couple of pictures, with one of Ken holding the gazebo down.

Every one enjoyed the day and events such as the re-enactment groups and a Hurricane fly past, the number of car groups and variety of vehicles was brilliant and nice to see.
