[adrianclifford]

A great thank you from me as well. Everything is said, superb event

Is there a list of the cars that attended the exhaust contest with their official noise?
Would like to know my db

Yes there is Steffi. Like all competitions, Tim has it

[Herbie]

I can only echo what's already been said but nevertheless I would like to thank ALL involved who planned, organised and conducted this great event. I'd also like to thank every single one who attended with their beautiful car ! Now that was a fantastic get together of a big MG family, glad to have put some more faces to names

Well done y'all

[Keith Williams]

After a MGF free day, well some would say I have had that for 3 years or so, before anyone else comments on that again

It is good to hear that people enjoyed the MGF20 weekend which makes all the hard work in organising such an event worth the effort ........

Many thanks have already been given but a few more from me

Our partners for MGF20 were Church Square Autos and Martin Smith.

Our sponsor was Peter Best Insurance.

Autogylm supplied prizes for the Poo winners.

If I named them all, I will be sure to forget someone but a big thank you also has to go to those committee members, reps and members who offered their services and helped out on the day.

A full list of helpers will be posted on the event website once I have collated them all together.

Thanks also must go to all the traders and other clubs that turned up to fill the grass area in front of the museum.

Moving onto the Sunday

Adam Sloman, MG Car Club, for helping us arrange a site visit to the MG Motors site which included a viewing of the prototype MGFs.

Simon Bennett, MG Motors, for giving up his Sunday to open the Sales Centre and guiding us around the small museum on site.

Also a massive thanks has to go to all members and other visitors that visited the show. Without you there with your cars, the show would not have been the success that I think it was.

I just wish I could have seen something of the show myself but from all the pictures posted so far, it looks like it was a good one …………..

Back home from a great week in the UK, ending with a fabolous MGF20 Event.
Many thanks to all involved and also to Mykel who led our small group with four MGF throuh the south of the UK to Gaydon.
Sight seeing at its best !

Huge apologises to all who I should have shaked hands but missed however.

It's been a great pleasure having been there after my last visit back in 2005 and seeing so many old and new friends and putting names to faces.
Geoff said it already ... I'm happy both machines run well, my own and from the car also Low rust at the car and the other dreaded cells are silent as they should.


Looking forward to the next five years of happy motoring until MGF25

I can concur with the postings already made about MGF20. Jacquie and I had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Many, many thanks to all those that worked so hard at making the event memorable. Meeting up with some of contributers to this website was just great. It's so nice to be able to put faces to names. I just wished I'd bumped into more of you.

MG has lived up to its name of being the marque of friendship.

Note to myself - I must try harder at getting over more often.

I'm a bit late in posting my thanks on here, but great weekend for MGF20 - and a big thumbs up for the camping facilities. We got a few funny looks from workers collecting their cars from the car park (camp site) on the Friday afternoon as we were starting to pitch, but also a fair few compliments on the cars.

Thanks to all those involved in making the weekend what it was (including who ever it was that arranged the weather)
