Looks like I must have missed a few pictures in Flickr on the earlier update as some of the contributors kindly have advised me of additional Y Type photographs they have on their Flickr pages so these have now been added to the Flickr page too! It is well worth a visit! The new photographs from new contributors are towards the bottom of the page, but new photographs from new admirers can be found in with their older ones.

Peter Sharp has sent in a report on the UK Autumn Run - thank you Peter for my "in spirit" prize of the report - it was almost as good as being there! That was the last of our events on the 2011 calendar, but if you have a Y event coming up, please let us know. Alternately we are now asking for you to notify us of 2012 events so we can get the word out for you so the date can be put onto calendars by participants.

It has also been some time since I trawled through the Flickr website. A recent trawl has netted another 120+ photographs to the Flickr page. It is well worth a visit! The new photographs from new contributors are towards the bottom of the page, but new photographs from new admirers can be found in with their older ones.

Also added today is the MG Car Club Y Type Register newsletter from June of this year that has just been received.
