Re: STEAMING CHARITY RUN - Sun 31st May
Had a great MG weekend to set me up well for my trip to Norway this week
Glad I altered my plans to come to the charity run instead of spending both days at Brands. It was a good turn out but as the weather was so good, I was a little surprised a few more did not turn up on the day to enjoy the car in the sun.
Was a great route into the museum. Only missed one turning and that was when I actually had a car in front of me. They passed the turn so I thought, I must be turning too soon ... but I was not.
Thanks for all the organisation Stewart, Ally and Kathryn (and anyone else I missed out) for a great event

Re: STEAMING CHARITY RUN - Sun 31st May
Don't worry it will be John - I've only just put all the Steaming cheques in the bank and then the Treasurer has to send me a cheque to reimburse me so I can then pay into Just Giving from my own account !. Nothing is ever simple !
However I can announce that donations paid to the Register amounted to £105 in addition to those already on the Just Giving site which will take us nearly to that £1000 barrier for the first time since we started fundraising as a Register in 2006. Which is brilliant so thanks a lot to all those who took part and raised this amount for the Register's nominated charity , the Stoke Mandeville Spinal Foundation.
Looks like a steaming good day out, shame I was stuck with the antiques !
