We are organising an Autumn Lunch on Saturday 11th October at the White Hart Inn, Iron Acton (the same venue as the Tuesday Lunch Natter). We are delighted to announce that David Franklin, will be our special guest and after lunch speaker. David won the British Hillclimb Championship and Sprint Championship in 1978 – the only driver to clinch both titles in the same season. He has a long history with the MG marque – he was the 1981 MGCC BCV8 Champion in a self-prepared MG BGT V8. and competed at last year’s SW Centre organised, Wiscombe Hill Climb in an MGB V8. To book a place at the event please click on this website link, Autumn Lunch, to view the lunch menu and then fill in the menu choices form to return to me. I can then let the White Hart know the numbers and the menu choices before the event
