May I take this opportunity to announce the intention to hold a meet at the Lakeland Motor Museum, Backbarrow Nr Newby Bridge Cumbria. Following a long lay-off from our previous meets held over the years at this venue & following a visit to the Museum recently, it is intended to hold this meet if sufficient members wish to attend on;

Sunday 6th August 2023 [Now Confirmed]

This is a provisional invitation to members in order to gauge interest & possible attendee numbers to put forward to the officials of the venue, the format will follow on from meets held there previously.

This event will be open to all 75 & MGZT Owners, in additon all makes of Rover & MG, all are most welcome the more the merrier. As anyone who has attended these meets in previous years may testify, this is a fantastic venue, we have always had good attendances in fact this Club held a National Club Meet here in 2012.

For those members who have attended past meets over the years pre-pandemic at the Lakeland Motor Museum & who will along with Jan,[Silvervixen] Myself, [Bluejon] Linda, [Pink Dutchess] & Brian [BRI] have fond memories of a very dear & well respected Friend of ours & many Freebyrd [Brian Alexander] whom we sadly & suddenly lost in October 2018.

Brian loved to visit the Lake District on a regular basis particularly staying around the Windermere area & each year regularly attending & supporting the Lakeland meet from its inception up to shortly before his sad & untimely passing.

It is with Brian in mind & on the approach to 5 years since we lost Him we therefore dedicate & rename this event & hopefully resurrect this meet to continue as an annual event once again. Below is a dedicated photo with Brian from the last meet we held there in 2018, sadly this was to be the last time we saw Brian, a great loss of a good Friend to us & many others indeed to the Club itself. RIP Freebyrd.

This will be the first meet back at the Museum since 2018 & consequently the first one without Brian attending, therefore if any other members wish to attend, along with members already on the list you are all very much welcome to come along in respect of Freebyrd, many thanks in anticipation to everyone,take care & hope to see as many of you that can possibly make it along.

Regards on behalf of.....Jan, John, Linda & Bri.
