The 52nd Halfway House meet will be held on Sunday 21st December. Noon till late.

Welcome to MG-ROVER-South East,we have been doing this event for around four 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 Administrators of the MGRSE are Alan Hodgson - Rover BRM,
Paul Woodham-Trophy Blue ZT,

Well I managed the 50th and 51st meets but am a bit worried a third visit with my Moonstone Tourer might be a bit too much for some, after all it's a Marmite colour.
So I'm an almost definite maybe, providing someone can guarantee the M25 will be less troublesome than my last two visits.

Don't know about this guy but I'm going to both, despite the fact there'll be no Doughnuts or Bananas at the Halfway House. On the plus side, that'll leave more room to gorge myself at The Ely.

Will post pictures up tomorrow.

Almost only 42 cars due to a 7 mile tail back for the Dartford Tunnel, just over an hour to do 7 miles, in which time I watched my fuel range prediction drop by 60 miles, almost 2 gallons of petrol for 7 miles. Nearly turned around and came back home but they don't like you doing U-Turns on the M25.
