New regional area

Neil and Barbara Rushton has offered to set up a region in the Lancashire area.

They are looking to see what interest there is in the area and will set up some meets once they have a group showing interest.

We welcome Neil & Barbara, who are long standing Register supporters to the team.

Thanks for the introduction Keith, for anyone who does not know us we have been involved with the Register for approx 10yrs, & we have attended many events in the UK & Europe, it has always been fairly quiet for MG events in the Lancs area, so once the North West region was redefined we thought that we would give setting up a Lancashire section a try, so over to you the F & TF owners of the region is there any interest in having a monthly meet?
In light of the fact that winter is approaching maybe a Sunday lunchtime meet would be best?

Neil & Barbara.

Congrats to all in the area, I'm convinced Neil and Barbara will do a great job and form a solid base to expand the group MG of friends. :thumbsu:

Well done Neil & Barbara, we've known you both since day one when we met you in the hotel in Angouleme I'm sure you'll make a great job of it.

The Essex region are coming up to see you at the end of September for a long weekend in Northumberland and the Lakes.

I hope your region can join us here for our international weekend on September 9/10 and I promise the locals will not throw coffee over you this time.

Hi Andy with Xmas approaching we thought it may be better to leave the meet until the new year & give a few more people chance to show an interest?
You may see us out & about in St Annes in the TF as Barbara's son lives there we visit Fairhaven Lake quite a bit.

Good news Neil & Barbara. Bit far for just a lunch meet but close enough for us to make it a weekend visit - probably in New Year now. Maybe Kasper and his lovely Biker Chick could fit a weekend visit in the Spring.
