A CLASSIC car rally has helped raise more than £3,000 for a children’s charity. Gloucestershire MG Owners Club held the Cotswold Caper to raise money for Cloud 9, which uses the money to give holidays to children in the county with life threatening conditions.
A spokeswoman from the group said “Members of the club took part with 110 classic MG’s entered. We started at St. Rose’s Special School in Stroud and finished at Westonbirt Arboretum and were pleased to present a cheque for £3,250 to the charity.”

GLOUCESTERSHIRE MG OWNERS CLUB
December 2009 Newsletter No 25
As you know from the last newsletter, the December meeting was the Clubs annual festive meal. There is a full write up on the web site so all I will say is that the evening was a great success as usual with several members receiving more raffle prizes than Nicks five of last year, so no more ribbing for Nick!! The room at the Royal William was laid out well with round tables, so that you could chat easily to everyone and our thanks go to Brian and Teresa for arranging the excellent evening.
Our chairman and secretary plus their little helpers did a brilliant job as usual with the way in which they ran the raffle.
Since our meal, eight of us have been to Prague, Adrian has been very efficient in putting a report on the web, we only arrived back last Sunday, having had a really super and sociable time. The weather could have been better, but this did not deter any of us, we all made full use of our time taking in all the places of interest, we even had a little flurry of snow which was exciting.
Our son is away on active service, but in his last email to us he says that when he has time he looks at our Club website so that he can keep in touch with what we have been doing. So Rob if you read this before Christmas day, hope all is well and that you will get a really good lunch with all the trimming, you can have a second Christmas when you come home on R & R in January.
Wishing you all a really happy Christmas and look forward to catching up with you at our next monthly meeting in 2010.
