Re: Multi Regional Events - Drive It Day 2020

Normal practice. Full details are on the flyers. Click link and get what info you want. Saves the OP having to copy/paste all the details. Also saves OP having to revisit and update if any event details change.

Re: New regional area

Good news Neil & Barbara. Bit far for just a lunch meet but close enough for us to make it a weekend visit - probably in New Year now. Maybe Kasper and his lovely Biker Chick could fit a weekend visit in the Spring.

Re: Brexit

Maybe we should now stop waving to other MGs just because they were Made In Britain?

Re: Weds 23-Sun 30th Aug'17 MGCC Luxembourg Ardennen Weekend / 60th Anniversary event

I can't even be sure that I'll still be alive in August 2017. If I am, the final day will be my birthday - could cost me all my pension to buy a round of drinks.

Re: MGFIM The Future - MG Friends In Motion

Did the mention of a big event before MGFIM2017 lead to anything? 2016 is upon us and diaries are filling.

Re: Wanted - photos from 2015 overseas trips / events

Have to let you down this time Colin. 2015 was a strange year for us - only went on a couple of Euro trips and didn't take a camera to either.

Re: Festive Greetings to our European Members

Re: Natter That Matters. These were unplanned weekend raid type events. A hotel and weekend was nominated and everybody made their own booklings and travel arrangements. Some drove direct in one hit; some added a few days for relaxation. We met in Monaco with one overnight en route. Angouleme was a ...

Re: 19-21 Aug ’16 - 5th Niederrhein Tour

As a Virgo , I like to have everything planned and organised, down to the last detail, well in advance. Mykel's organisation and planning are just two of the reasons that I enjoy his Tours so much and look forward to each new one from the moment I get home from the last. Of course, as a Virgo I agon...

If whoever modeled or photographed the jacket had looked in the pocket the Hotel Ve keycard wallet might have given a clue. Unless Simon Davis put his card holder in somebody else's jacket.

Lost luggage.
As we checked out from the Ve, reception found a fleece jacket that had been left. We bought it home to UK. Dark Green with distinctive MG car embroidery. Contact me.

Re: 22-23 Aug'15 Kempenrit 2015

Early Tuesday morning, first coffee after Kempenrit and about to write and comment. Read Colin's contribution and really cannot improve on that.

Thanks to all the team for Day Before and the Kempenrit. Always good to meet so many friends in a nice seeing.

Hopefully not the last time.
