STONELEIGH 2010

For 2010 the register decided to hold four events in one weekend ...and why not ? It made a great curtain raiser for the 2010 season by combining the AGM, Gala Dinner, Stoneleigh International and a scenic run.

The weekend began with snow on the ground for one of the chilliest runs we've ever organised. The route began at the Melbicks Garden Centre and  took the cars through some snowy scenic lanes and finished at the Midlands Air Museum on the edge of Coventry airport where the F/TFs got to park amongst the planes on display.

This was followed by the presentation of our Annual General Meeting held at the Allesley Hotel in Allesley village just outside of Coventry. Various reports were made and the Chairman gave a PowerPoint presentation covering the preceding 12 months and looking to the future.

Following a short break the evening continued with a gala dinner which was also held at the Allesley.

The next day saw more snow on the ground and some of the cars had difficulty leaving the car park of the Allesely Hotel which is on quite a steep slope. Having negotiated that the rest of the day was spent at the MG International show at Stoneleigh where the Register displayed two cars on the stand - John Fry's 1995 works Rally MGF and Colin Grant's 85th Anniversary TF.
