Back in April the centre again hosted a successful Kimber Classic Trail with a good entry of 31 cars, all but 4 being MGs, includings 13 MMMs. Thanks as usual to Andrew, Bruce and all the other helpers. Results are on our web site.
The first Bank Holiday weekend in May required all hands to the deck to man our stand at the ever popular Bristol Classic Car show and help run the Wessex Sprint. This year the car show was held over 3 days, it benefited from the forced date move due to the snow in February, attracting some 12,000 visitors. The Wessex Sprint although well supported lacked a large MG entry, results are again on our web site. Thanks to all marshals and helpers, turning an airfield into a sprint course and back again is no 5 minute job!
Chepstow Auto Challenge – 20 June This is an “all forward” autotest run by Bristol Pegasus Motor Club at Chepstow Race Course. The aim is to run a fun event rather than a memory test! Regs are on our web site or contact Chris Thompson 01454 615604, don’t delay entries close on 8 June. It’s also a round of our Centre’s championship.
MG Auto-Aero Day – 5 July This is the Centre’s major social event, so come along, relax, admire the MGs and the planes which fly in and out during the day. The venue is again Henstridge Airfield between Sherborne and Shaftesbury. As usual, check out our web site for details or give Tony Blake a call 01179 790108.
