After a MGF free day, well some would say I have had that for 3 years or so, before anyone else comments on that again
It is good to hear that people enjoyed the MGF20 weekend which makes all the hard work in organising such an event worth the effort ........
Many thanks have already been given but a few more from me
Our partners for MGF20 were Church Square Autos and Martin Smith.
Our sponsor was Peter Best Insurance.
Autogylm supplied prizes for the Poo winners.

If I named them all, I will be sure to forget someone but a big thank you also has to go to those committee members, reps and members who offered their services and helped out on the day.
A full list of helpers will be posted on the event website once I have collated them all together.
Thanks also must go to all the traders and other clubs that turned up to fill the grass area in front of the museum.
Moving onto the Sunday
Adam Sloman, MG Car Club, for helping us arrange a site visit to the MG Motors site which included a viewing of the prototype MGFs.
Simon Bennett, MG Motors, for giving up his Sunday to open the Sales Centre and guiding us around the small museum on site.
Also a massive thanks has to go to all members and other visitors that visited the show. Without you there with your cars, the show would not have been the success that I think it was.
I just wish I could have seen something of the show myself but from all the pictures posted so far, it looks like it was a good one …………..
