Guide to Events, Natters and Convoys

As some of you may be new to all this, you may be wondering what goes on at these events, from pub meets to convoys. So here's a quick guide so you know what to expect.

We aim to have a regular monthly pub meet in the East Anglia Region. We all meet up at a pre-arranged date and time, greet everyone, and then it's in for a drink (soft drinks for us drivers of course!) and a bite to eat.

Its not all talk about cars, as we come from all ages and both sexes, so it's just a good old natter about anything and everything and plenty of laughs too.

Also having plenty of MGF owners around you can pick the brains for technical knowhow, see other peoples modifications in the flesh and talk to other owners about the quirks of our car. But mostly its just a good natter, like going down the pub to see your friends.

Then when youre ready you can head back home, with some good food inside you and a welcome change from the usual day out.

We will also be doing some road runs when the weather is nice, around our gorgeous county, in convoy.

Driving in convoy is nerve racking for the first time, but I promise you, you cant help but grin like an idiot as its that much fun!

There are a few rules to keep everyone safe and happy, and to put you at ease so there is nothing to worry about:

First, keep a safe distance from the car in front, so as to avoid any 'friendly fire' incidents.





Secondly, look after the car behind. Keep an eye on them and wait for them at any awkward junctions.





Thirdly, if a car does fall behind, flash the car in front so we can all slow down and wait for them to catch up.





Finally, the last car in the group has his lights on to mark the end of the convoy - which helps the leader keep an eye on everyone to make sure no one is left behind.

New members are always put in the middle, of the convoy, with the most experienced convoyers first and last to look after you.

Worried about breaking down? Dont be, as we all wait with you until the rescue services are on their way - if we can't get you going.

Convoys range from just 4 cars on our informal runs, up to over 50 on our organised events! Its something you have to try at least once, to get the best experience out of your car.

There are the big events, throughout the year, where we meet up locally and then convoy in.

Places such as Silverstone and Gaydon among many; and of course our historically renowned MGFest events.

We even have been known to venture abroad, where we meet the international clubs for some classic memorable weekends.

So theres plenty to keep us F'ers happy all year round, from local meets to yes, even track days!!

So keep an eye on the events page of the website, or the forum where we will announce any social meets in our area. Also keep a lookout for MGCC meets (known as Natters), track days, race events and everything in between.

Hope to see you soon.
