No it's in almost exactly a month's time, I think you've confused June and July. That's probably not a bad thing though because the weather this weekend's not going to be anything special anyway.

I'm sure lots of us will be going because it's always a good day out, especially if you like the MGs (including ZR/S/T) and modified cars.

Zoe who takes care of our events diary asked me to post a reminder to any members wishing to attend the Nostalgia Show or the Knebworth Classic Car show on July 27th and August 24th respectively. You need passes for these but she's only got a few left.

Don't do it...............

That's possibly the best excuse anyone could ever come up with for not attending an (unspecified) event. Good luck! When's the big day? And where?

The other other Rich.

You are going to be bringing your Montego cabriolet along with you aren't you, Tony. I'd particularly like to see and photograph that. Have it ready in time for MG'M' next month though and I promise you won't be left alone for the duration of the day

Hi all, sorry for the ignorance but it'll be my first year of shows and I was just wondering if you have to book in advance to attend MG 'M' and the BL rally, or do you just turn up and pay on the day?

I would like to know this too, as I need time to get F170 GGT running well enough to make that 133 mile journey! :laugh:

It varies depending on the event. For MG'M' you just turn up and pay your £8. You can do the same for the BL Rally but I'd recommend booking in advance. Anyone wanting a scan of the form for that can email me (Zoe's computer is currently defunct) and I'll oblige.

Most details should be on the events page:

I'm getting married at Bromham Baptist Church (Bromham, Bedfordshire) on Friday 1st August at 1pm. Yes, I'd have loved to come to BL rally but there'll always be one next year, and in any case I'm looking forward to meet up with people at MG Saloon Day.

Cool! That really would be a sight to behold, but in reality I will be posting a picture of my car fitted with the wedding car ribbons etc, and I bet someone will tie a load of old cans, boots and the like to the back - you never know it might make the car handle better! Hope nobody pulls the other traditional wedding day car related stunt, ie that of placing a haddock etc under the back seat.

Hearty congratulations, Simon! People keep telling me I'll marry a Maestro one day?!

So, we've got a date, a time and a place... :laugh:

Congratulations Simon! Bad planning on the honeymoon dates, but other than that...

I shall probably be at the MG M day in Coventry to - hopefully - buy some cheap cross-spoke alloys for my Vanden Plas which I shall then display proudly at Nene Valley in August.

If this is still the case Jonathon can you send me a copy of the BL rally form to dale.warren@virgin.net

Cheers
