Finally we are able to meet in large groups again and although we had kept in touch through zoom and emails there’s nothing like meeting face to face and feeling “normal" again.  So on the 18th May and back by popular demand, 20 members met on Arnside promenade for a “chippy tea”  Once again Alex did the ordering and under clear  blue skies we ate our fish and chips and made provisional plans for the rest of the year.  John and Kathy then kindly invited us all back to theirs for coffee  where we sat and watched the sun go down.   We are hoping to have an indoor meeting at the end of June then a few days away in September and maybe a couple of Sunday runs in between. Fingers crossed!!!! 

             Whatever your plans ….happy motoring.  Sue

 

 

July 2020

Our second Zoom meeting was held on the 7th July.  Everyone was in good spirits and itching to get out in their cars and meet up. So we decided on an evening drive to Arnside for a chippy tea.   Alex sent out an email to members and took orders from those wanting to take part.   The plan was to meet on the promenade rather than travel in convoy.   Nine cars took part, 5 MG’s and 4 every day cars.

We were fortunate to be able to park alongside each another... socially distanced of course !!!   The weather wasn't in our favour and instead of sitting in the warm evening sunshine to eat our fish and chips we took shelter from the wind in our cars…..except for Les & Christine who decided to brave the cold !    We still don’t know whether our Isle of Man holiday will go ahead in Sept, currently  the borders are still closed to non residents.

As you can imagine there is nothing to report this month but I just thought I would say “hello" and hope everyone is keeping safe and well. I notice from your reports some of you are venturing out in your cars and I hope it won’t be long before we are all allowed to meet in groups again. We were very disappointed to have had to cancel our holiday to Yorkshire in May but we still have our trip to the Isle of Man booked for September…if we have to cancel there’s always next year!!  We decided to have a Zoom meeting this month. John and Alex set it up and we all appeared on the screen one by one. The main topic of conversation was our lockdown hairstyles! Hopefully we will be having another one next month with perhaps more members joining in. Sending our best wishes to you all. Keep safe. Sue.
