Hello folks

We had 22 members at the club night, including Gary, who we haven’t seen for years due to his shift working.

The MK Classic Tour was a great success. Over 140 cars attended, a remarkable cross selection of classic and sports cars, including a good number of our club members. The route started at Poplars, then Millbrook, to Prodrive for a coffee stop and finishing at Silverstone. I have to say that Prodrive was amazing! Mike and Alison thank everyone for their support, especially the marshals.

Enjoying MG April

Enjoying MG:
I hope you’ve all been out in your MG’s, enjoying the warm sunny weather
we’ve had in March. So, now is the time to get your cars prepared and ready
for the summer. Mine is due to be tuned / set up on a rolling road next week.

We had a great turnout at our March club night (it’s normally our quietest
of the year). Great to see you all. It was also nice to welcome a potential
new member, Gerald Whyte.

Some events coming up. Phil Walker has provided us with the dates of the MGOC
Race Championship Dates. The first is on 16th April at Brands Hatch, followed
by 2nd May at Castle Coombe. Why not go along and support him? Or if you’re
interested in doing some racing or track days, I’m sure Phil would be able
to give you a few tips. 12th and 26th April are the first of the Oakley
classic shows – great fun. The Bicester Scramble is on the 24th April and
the MK Classic Tour is on the 24th. Hope to see you and your cars soon.
