Due to a website glitch, I can’t upload the documents (regs and entry form) for this event. If you are thinking of coming from either Severn View Services on the M48 or Starbucks Car Park, Ross on Wye, then drop me an email jim.lott@hotmail.co.uk and I will send you the documents.
90th Anniversary Year 2026 – 90 for the 90
The entries for the ’90 for the 90’ challenge are coming in and we have had a lot of entries for the Clevedon Caper and Clevedon Pier, in total 47 photos have been posted to the website. The oldest car is an MG 18/80 and the newest is a 2023 MG Motors HS
As the weather is improving, don’t forget to take your birthday card with you when you are out and about in your MG (I keep mine in the glove box of the MGF). The ’90 for the 90’ challenge is easy, just select a destination from the list in the birthday card, take a digital photograph of you, your car, your birthday card and the location as evidence of your visit and submit a claim and photograph using the claim form accessed here. We are not expecting you to visit all the 90 places, but there could be a prize for the MG car that visits the most different venues.
90th Anniversary Summer Picnic
The Committee are making plans for the Summer Picnic, being held on 19th July, in the field next to Dave Mothersdill’s house in Tockington. There will be a live band, ‘The Falcons’, and also a ladies choir, ‘In Accord’ to entertain, a free Pride of Ownership competition (a charity donation would be most welcome) , and ‘A Cook It Yourself Gas Barbecue’ so far. We are also trying to source some Pub Garden games, if anyone knows where we can borrow/hire some please get in touch.
All items in the Clothing Store are now available with either the normal South West Centre Logo or the new 90th Anniversary logo. Select the item you require, T-shirt, Polo shirt, Sweat Shirt, Premium Cap, Beanie, Hoodie, Fleece Jacket, Softshell Jacket, Shell Gilet, Soft Padded jacket, soft padded gilet or long sleeved shirt, then select the colour and size and then you have the option to select which of the two logos you require. It couldn’t be simpler. Very suitable attire to carry out the ‘90 For The 90’ challenge.
