Well then, lets start with what you have just missed ! Well in June there was the 1st M.G. On Grass that was almost washed away-a report can be found here, and then in July the M.G. Auto Aero day at Henstridge (alas no write up and as I wasn’t there I cant say that much about it ! ).
We also enjoyed the MGF register’s Somerset Shenanigans and the MGA South West Tour (both at the end of July) not to mention the Abingdon Road Run in support of the M.G. Museum Restoration fund (none of these were SW Centre events but I know many of you joined in the fun). Most recently we have had the famed Wessex Sprint (this time at Castle Combe circuit), the 2nd M.G. On Grass event Yatton and the magnificent Mendip Production Car Trial all in August.
If you are kicking yourself for missing some or all of this cornucopia of motoring delight then you only have yourself to blame for not going to our calendar and checking what is going on in your area. Reference to this invaluable fountain of knowledge and information will bring you up to speed with all you want to know about the MGOT Castle Combe Track Day on 5th September, the incomparable Wiscombe Park Hill Climb (held in such stunning scenery it is worth going just for the countryside) on the 10th September and the cordial invitation from the Bristol Pegasus Motor Club to the Castle Combe Sprint on the 15th of the same month.
And if all that hasn’t left you completely breathless then in October we offer you the Kimber Trial at Chew Stoke, a Social Run in the Bristol area and an invitation to an Auto Solo at Chepstow Race Course from our friends in the Bristol Pegasus Motor Club (once more all details and much, much more on the website).
This lot will conclude the sporting activities for another year-if you have enjoyed any of them please drop me an e-mail with your comments/suggestions. If none of the above interest you then please get in touch with what might and I will see if we can arrange to include it in next year’s calendar-the club is, after all, run for the benefit of its members an for those ‘Who Practice Driving as an Art’ as it used to be advertised on the front page of this very magazine.
One last thing-if you have any pictures of your M.G. (or someone else’s) doing something exciting in the South West Centre then why not forward it for inclusion in the gargantuan Picture Gallery on the SW web site ?
Until next time,
