GLOUCESTERSHIRE MG OWNERS CLUB

June  2009 Newsletter No 19

It doesn’t seem that long ago since I typed up the May Newsletter, the months are going far too quickly must be something to doing with the aging process. 

It was noted that three stalwarts of the Club  were not in attendance and it was not until the meeting was opened that we were informed Rita and Adrian had broken down yet again in Rita’s’ MGF and Joyce had gone to pick up the pieces (not literally, only Rita).  Adrian and the MGF were towed home and he arrived much later but in time for a quiet drink in the bar at the close of the meeting.  We had a really good attendance for the June meeting far in excess of the AGM and  I believe it was because members were interested in an update of our Cotswold Caper run  being held on the Sunday.  Several of us joined in the Hereford Mountains and Valleys run on the previous Sunday but the weather was not very kind to us, therefore we were all  praying that we would fair better.   

This years route has not been without its’ problems,  John and Graham had to do a  last minute alteration due to the fact that one of the roads in Painswick was closed from Thursday through to Sunday, 120 route books had to be amended, but as usual the duo were not fazed, comes with years of experience.

John and Robs’ run during May from Hunters Hall was very well supported, the weather could have been kinder, but the route was super.  This was their first ever run, so we now hope they put their names down to do another in 2010.

Several of our members and their MGs are off on holiday to the Isle of Man with our Chairman as their leader, is the Island ready for an MG invasion?   There is a rumor that it will be a tour of  Southern Ireland next year.

We have Rita and Adrian’s run to look forward to on  Tuesday 30th June and a Sunday run out in July organized by John and Janet to Alresford Hampshire for a trip on the Watercress Railway.

It was good to see two members of the Llandudno Club attend our meeting with Tony and Jane, with whom they were staying so that they could participate in the Caper.
