MG Day Brooklands - 8th April
MG Era Day at Brooklands is on Sunday 8th April. There is always a good turn out of F/TFs and the club will be there as well. This year there is a special award for the best MGTF to mark the 10th Anniversary
so get your polishing clioths out and come down to Brooklands. Entry is via the Campbell gate off Brooklands Road and will be marked as "MGs only" so if you are in an MG please DO NOT follow the brown signs as they will direct you to the other car parks!

No we don't normally do a run in for this one as we are usually already there setting up the gazebo etc. It's pretty much a turn up and enjoy the day event

Re: MG Day Brooklands - 8th April
Hi all
Really sorry that I couldn't be there today, would love to have met all those that I have chatted to over these last few months. I was all ready to recruit new members for the thames valley region!! Hope those who went had a great day, and I look forward to the next event.

I love the MG Day at Brooklands. It's great catching up with friends you've not seen for ages and ages, as well as those last seen not that long ago
