Walworth Castle - Sunday 14 April 2019

[Fusilier]

Have just been and visited Walworth again to pay for the late entries which we have received (8 more), so we will now have a total of 64 people and 40 cars attending, and due to the numbers it is confirmed that we will need to have three meal sittings, as the room we are using (same as last year), has been modernised, and they can only seat around 24 at a time, so I have been working on a plan to try and arrange best options for seating.

So on Sunday on your ticket, you will have which meal sitting you should attend.

The provisional timings for meals are:

1. First Sitting - 1130 hrs - 1220 hrs - 22 People

2. Second Sitting - 1230 hrs - 1320 hrs - 22 People

3. Third Sitting - 1330 hrs - 1420 hrs - 20 People

I understand that not everybody will be 100% happy, but I have tried my best to group people together, but if you wish to change with somebody else, then just swap meal tickets with them on Sunday.

Thank you to everybody for supporting the event, and hope that you all have a very enjoyable day


Regards

Stuart

Will do, but will be very busy on the day, so will try my best to spend some time and have a chat, and of course, you will also get to see the awful Gruple car, as I am taking that to this meet, rather than one of the Big Cats

Stu

[Fusilier]

well that is everything now done ready for tomorrow, all tickets and voting forms put in envelopes, with names on, and cost to each member.

[Fusilier]

Well that is everything now completed, forms, and meals tickets all printed off and enveloped up, and envelopes marked up with members names, meal time and have also finished doing all the prizes ready for tomorrow, and have also had the chance to give Gruple a wipe over.

Really looking forward to this tomorrow, and have also packed a few things in the car, chair, cleaning box, but please do not vote on my car, as it is excluded from the prizes.

I am planning on doing the Prize Giving at around 1500 hrs after everybody has finished eating, and will have 10 Prizes on offer

1. MGB Class 1st and 2nd

2. MGF/RV8 Class 1st and 2nd

3. Rover 75 Class 1st and 2nd

4. MG ZT and Others 1st and 2nd

5. Longest distance travelled by road

6. Best in Show

all of the above prizes have been kindly donated by Durham MG Club, but I have produced them.

we have 42 cars attending the event which is a very good turnout.

Meal timings are shown on the envelopes, and we have had to have 3 sittings to accommodate everyone, as we have 67 people attending.

I will be there at around 0900 hrs to ensure that things are ready for when members arrive, anytime from 1000 hrs onwards

On arrival at Walworth, once you enter the venue, take a left, and that will take you to the rear of the castle, where we will be assembling for the day

Firstly a huge thanks to all those members of this forum who attended the meet today, and hopefully you enjoyed the day, a lot of hard work went into planning the event.

I would also like to congratulate the prize winners from the forum:

75 Owners

1. Best 75 -Bigd

2. Second Best 75 - Bluejon

ZT Owners

1. Best ZT - Pye 81

2. Second Best ZT - Blackrose and Carole

We also awarded some additional prizes to the following members:

Longest Distance Travelled:

1. Rev Jules and Dawn

Special Awards:

1. Dave Stocktake

2. Marinabrian

And the remaining members who unfortunately did not win today, you should all be so proud, as a lot of the Durham MG Club members commented to me that the standard of 75/ZT on show was fantastic, and they can now see the reason why they are such great cars, I think that the cars on show, opened the eyes of those who do not own one, and they were presently surprised at just how good they all were, and the standard of cars was very high, so congratulations to all of you

Regards and thank you

Thanks for setting this up Stu, a nice trip out, and good to catch up with all the regulars, and some from further afield. Pity the weather was so cold, but at least it didn't snow like last year.
