What’s on this weekend 24th & 25th September

Below are a list of events going on this weekend, but if you find yourself out and about in your MG doing something else, use the hashtag #MGCCweekend on any photos or posts that you upload on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. We want to see what you’re up to!

MGCC: MGA Register, Autumn Weekend, Norwich, Friday 23rd – Sunday 25th September 

This will be the first time the MGA Register have run a tour in North Norfolk – even the 50th Anniversary Round Britain Tour missed it off! Entrants can look forward to some beautifully unique scenery, including the Norfolk Broads – a unique series of lakes and waterways formed from medieval peat diggings. Alongside the incredible landscape, Norfolk is also home to the Sandringham estate, Burnham Market (birthplace of Lord Nelson), and Norwich, the home of Colman’s mustard. Our main hotel for the weekend will be the Park Farm Hotel in Hethersett. The event is being organised by David Simons, and he can be contacted on 01362 858976 or davidsimons55@gmail.com if you are still interested in the weekend tour.

London is a delight lit up, most of it’s famous landmark sights are illuminated and the traffic is surprisingly light during the early evening so we take the opportunity to show you this on 24th September. Traditionally the start point is at Simon’s Diner, situated in the parking area of Wimbledon Stadium in south west London not far from the river. The address is 94 Summerstown, Wimbledon SW17 0BH.
