Sunday 8 August ~ MG Gathering at Athelhampton House

Post by **nigelandjo** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 8:06 am

As we have done for the last few years we will be attending the MG Gathering at Athelhampton House (NE of Dorchester)(if you're a film buff, this is the house which Michael Caine drove up to in an MGB at the start of Sleuth ~ and you might see the actual MGB as it's now owned by the owner of Athelhampton House) 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 (if I recall correctly admission is £10 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 teddy bear for the Teddy Bears picnic ~ although I still don't know the theme. Bring a picnic (very popular) or dine in the restaurant. We'll arrange a meeting point (or two) once we know who's going so that we can arrive and park together. Names please ladies and gentlemen!

At last the news you've all been waiting for

The theme for the Teddy Bears is: Eclectic Teddies!

My Little Oxford Dictionary definds Eclectic as: "Selecting doctrines from every school; borrowing freely from various sources"

Thinking caps on...

Would anyone be interested in going for a drive through the Dorset countryside on the way home and stopping in a pub for a bite to eat?
