Chairman's Charity Run in aid of Guide Dogs - Sunday 20th March

The Chairman's run will be on the 20th March and the starting point will be in Abingdon. We will be visiting the home of one of the most remarkable men of the 20th century. Nuffield Place reveals the surprisingly down-to-earth lives of Lord Nuffield, founder of the Morris Motor Company, and his wife. Their home and personal possessions are just as they left them, the decor and furnishings intact. From the comfortable sitting room with a small black and white TV, to Lord Nuffield's humble bedroom with a secret built-in workshop, this intimate home exudes the tastes and interests of its remarkable owner.

Details can be found at http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/nuffield-place

The road run cost will be £7 for MG Car Club members and £12 for non members.

The road run cost includes the road book, rally plate and covers the MSA exemption certificate.

Entrance to Nuffield House will be at a group fee of £7.75 per person unless you are a member of the National Trust where then you then get free access.

The Stroganof was veggie, so all booked, no problem getting into the 4 Pillars Marcham Road. Our MGB would have been driven along there on test in 1966. We had already booked the Chairmans run so will be a great weekend.

Great one, should be a good weekend
