I think it could be the following weekend anyway as Alan who organises these meets has another one I think on the 18 / 19 weekend

[FLYING BANANA]

The next Essex meet is on the 26th Feb. Moved back one week so as not to clash with the MG spares day at Stoneleigh Park.

[R.Lewis]

Will have to try and pop down one Saturday if I can get time off work soon (I work Sats:mad:). Sure I've been to that pub before!

Do you have any more info Bob, are non MGOC members welcome too?

I need to speak to the organisers first, but I can see no reason why not:}

[woody804]

Manningtree! That is great news!!!!

As far as I know you are allowed to tag along but will have to pay the full amount to get in at Bressingham. It is being put together by the Epping MGO club.

[shadowfax]

Think Ill be at Manningtree, as long as we are allowed etc etc.

[coolcat]

Has always been a great event and hopefully even with the move it will be a good one this year as well!
Lots of photo ops too:D

[wraymond]

Sorry to be a pain, dates and venues are confusing me!

Has the Manningtree venue changed, has the date of same changed, has it changed from a Saturday to a Sunday, have I got a chinese diary?

[coolcat]

Hi Wraymond, yes, yes and no!
Dates and venue have indeed changed.
Details are buried on this thread somewhere.
Found it!

[wraymond]

Thanks Jeff. It would be less than constructive to turn up on the wrong day at the wrong venue, but wouldn't be the first time.

[shadowfax]

Just getting info etc, but who is going to the National later this year -

Thinking of getting a few cars to go up together

[FLYING BANANA]

I'm going BUT I'm going up on the Friday till Monday. Then maybe staying over to go to the meeting at Shildon the following weekend.

[coolcat]

I'm hoping to be there but probably going up Saturday early evening after work so not exactly sure on time for me so I'll make my way up on my lonesome I'm afraid.

[shadowfax]

Might try and make the cambrideshire meet this Saturday if anyone from Essex is interested

[stevesav]

Didnt know that there was a Cambridgeshire meet this Saturday:confused::confused:

[FLYING BANANA]

First Saturday of every month there is a meet put together by Kev Clark of the Rover SDi club. They meet at the British Queen pub in Meldreth Cambs near Duxford. The meet generally starts about 2pm. But the pub stops doing grub at the same time. Small car park. All Rover/ MG's welcome.
I've been a few times along with few others from this site. So next meet is on the 3rd November. I alas am away but I'll try and make the December one.
