Welcome to MG-ROVER-South East,we have been doing this event for around three years and have steadily built it into the biggest regular MG-Rover South East meet,there have been some changes of venue along the way, but at Brentwood it has worked best and continues to be the regular meet venue.

We meet up around the 3rd Sunday of the Month,but sometimes due to other popular events this is changed by a week either side.The Halfway House in Brentwood,has easy access from the M25/A127 to Southend,it has a large car park of which we use the back near the play area,serves meals and drinks and has all the facilities we could use

ABOUT THE MEET
We arrive as the designated time which is about Noon so that we can make a day of it and avoid the dark nights that we get in the winter months.

After looking at Members Cars we take a few pics and weather permiting we stay outside to greet anyone who has yet to arrive, were not hard to find as we all park together in the Venue Car Park.

The current Meet Reps are Bob Burgess or Paul Woodham so keep an eye out.

Looking forward to tomorrow. Looks like it will be big. Biggest ever?

I will be in my new (well, new to me 2 weeks ago) 75 2.5 V6.

Please forgive its very unfettled state including bonnet dent and several other bruises. There will be improvements in due course. But I am just looking forward to giving it its first proper drive since I got it. :}

Going west on A127 take the A128 north, signposted to Brentwood.

After a couple of hundred yards there is a turning on the left signposted to the Country Park.

Go down there, past the Country Park Entrance, and after a couple of hundred yards you come to the back entrance to the pub car park.

Many thanks to those that came to The Halfway House. 51 cars made the meet including a VW Golf. I'll get some pictures posted once I get home.
