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.

October 2019

Our run planned for the 29th Sept went ahead despite days of heavy rain. As a precaution some members used “ordinary” cars but there were 2 F’s .  Leaving Sizergh we took to the high ground through Levens village then picked up the A6 to Milnthorpe then onto Wray for coffee at the garden centre. We soon found navigating the puddles was slowing us down en route south to Slaidburn then east to Long Preston.  The plan was to carry on in a big loop to Hawes and back to Kendal but there was so much flooding we decided to call it a day and headed to the Watershed Mill at Settle for another much needed coffee. Our final stop was a late lunch at The Station Inn at Oxenholme.

On the 22nd Oct ten members had a very enjoyable day out at The British Commercial Vehicle Museum at Leyland. Well worth a visit and the toasted teacakes come highly recommended!!
