Sunday 9 August ~ Athelhampton House, MG Gathering

Post by nigelandjo » Fri Jul 17, 2015 9:38 pm

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/

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

Im going with Mrs S. :)
Are dogs allowed to come along? Might bring the hound along to save him staying at home on his own. :lol:
I guess he's not allowed in the house but thought he may be allowed to picnic.

That's a good question! I would have thought ok in the grounds if on a lead and no for the house as you've said.

See you later.

Good to catch up with some of you, not sure how my rusty wreck ended up on the lawn. Was a great little show.
