NEWS - V8 Day Out at Hardwick Hall postponed

Ken Clayton reports the conditions in Derbyshire are dreadful following the exceptional snowfall and the continuing low temperatures, so he is postponing the event until May. Further news of the new date and arrangements will follow. He thanks members who had booked to attend the event originally planned for Sunday 7th April 2013.

Ken Clayton reports "Derbyshire has had a considerable amount of snow. Last Saturday it snowed continually for 24hours! Numerous roads around the county were closed. Derbyshire are very quick to grit the roads, which helps greatly with opening them up after such snow fall. However this would probably be the last thing you want being sprayed onto the underside of your MGBGTV8! My RV8 is still in the garage, and at present has some four feet of snow in front of the garage.

Given these points, and further that the weather forecast for the next week is still set for -6 C in Derbyshire for most evenings and that the day time temperature is scheduled to remain at a paltry 4-8 C, it's my intention to postpone the MG V8 Day Out at Hardwick Hall. I intend contacting the team at Hardwick Hall tomorrow to rearrange the day for a date in May and a further NEWS update with the new date and arrangements will be posted on the V8 website when the arrangements have been finalised.

I hope that you understand the rationale for this decision, and equally I hope that you will be able to support the event at the later date."
