Agreed Stu. Excellent day out with great company and unusually good weather. Glad you got into your boot - I'm looking forward to the "how to" in a couple of weeks. Off now to try to cool down my forehead.

    Thanks so much to Colin for the tickets, it's been several years since we'd been to this as a group and it was enjoyed thoroughly by all who accompanied SWMGF :)



    A few pics from the day.

    Our first meet point at Magor Services -

    A quick fix whilst waiting at the Compass Inn -

    It was good to see the flags all flying -

    Entertainment was provided by a couple of the newer SWMGF members -

    Great day, and we all look forward to the next one :thumbsu:

    Great Steve :thumbsu:
    Who knows, I might be able to make it myself (depending on date) 8-)

    I just hope some of SWMGF learn to drive by then - totally out of control looking at the pics above, and a potential liability to other track users

    Not an uncommon sight when people get out on track and the red mist comes up. I spoke to the guy in the green F, he was completely unaware of MGs-on-Track and what we do :( So we had a long chat and I gave them both a couple of our brochures, they were very keen to register with us and hopefully before next year they will have had at least one day with us and some instruction :thumbsu:
    Cheers,
