Sunday 10 August ~ Athelhampton House, MG Gathering
As we have done for the last few years we will be attending the MG Gathering at Athelhampton House (NE of Dorchester) organised by the Bournemouth & Poole MG Owners Club. If you've not been before information on the house can be found at http://www.athelhampton.co.uk/Welcome.html
This is a great day out where all cars attending park on the lawns of the house (Admission is £12 for car, driver & passenger which includes entry to the house) and you just relax in the beautiful surroundings, look round the house and admire approx 200 MGs. During the event I suspect there will be the annual duck race / raffle etc with proceeds going to local charities. Bring a picnic (very popular) or dine in the restaurant.
Meet at 10.00am at Morrisons in Yeovil.
Names please. Thanks
Nigel

Keep calm and drive an MG

Re: Sunday 10 August ~ Athelhampton House, MG Gathering
I'm determined to get to this one year! However this year is unlikely to be it, seeing as how I'll have only just got back from Munich with the van on Friday.
Have a good one!

Anyone else attending? Anyone from Dorset? This is usually a great day out, with around 200 MG's in attendance.

Re: Sunday 10 August ~ Athelhampton House, MG Gathering
Hoping to drive across from West Sussex but in view of atrocious weather forecast for Sunday there'll probably be some very last minute decisions made on this one.

If you do make the trip, we'll be in a Typhoon TF registration M4 YMG. I'm sure you'll spot it!

Going to be a lot of traffic Yeovil way due to Truck show, might head straight down through Sherborne from Wincanton.

Re: Sunday 10 August ~ Athelhampton House, MG Gathering
Weather not looking to good at the moment, we'll wait and see what it's like tomorrow before making any final decision.
As there might be loads of traffic in Yeovil I think we'll do the same as Stux99. We could then meet the rest of you in the lay-by just outside Dorchester [ the one with the toilets] at around 10.45am.ish.

Re: Sunday 10 August ~ Athelhampton House, MG Gathering
Hi guys, we are going to make a final decision in the morning too. If the weather looks bad we will have to give it a miss, don't think it'll be much fun with a nearly 10wk old & nearly 3year old in the rain. However, if the weather looks good then we will definitely be along & we will make our own way & meet you all there!! Fingers crossed!!
Life's too short not to!!!

It looks like rain all morning, if it clears by mid day we might go along for the afternoon.

Heavy rain in Wincanton. Looks like we are going to give today a miss unless it clears up mid-morning, will keep you posted.

Re: Sunday 10 August ~ Athelhampton House, MG Gathering
Likewise, forecast says clear for a couple of hours at mid-day, just enough time to get there and backMadgasters wrote:Heavy rain in Wincanton. Looks like we are going to give today a miss unless it clears up mid-morning, will keep you posted.
