Picnic in the Park at Calke Abbey
What a fantastic day! This was a very well supported event
with 23 MGs and their owners making the journey to the
National Trust property at Calke Abbey on Sunday 18th
April 2010. There were 2 MGAs, 4 MGBGTV8s, 4 MGB roadsters
and 8 MGRV8s in a variety of colours, and 1 MG V8 ZTT.
There was plenty of opportunity to catch up on gossip,
discuss the finer points of the cars, admire the concours
presentation of some and discover the purpose of previously
untested buttons in our RV8. Ken Clayton (the event organiser)
was the one who benefitted from John Bolt's knowledge
and can now open his boot from inside the car!
The weather was superb, warm and sunny and allowed the
gathering to take advantage of the magnificent grounds
and the House. The event was billed as the 'Picnic in
the Park' and it was lovely to be able to sit and relax,
enjoy a glass of Chardonnay and appreciate the whole venue
and ambience.
It is to be hoped that more events like this will happen
in the future. Thank you to everyone who attended and
made it such a wonderful event. |
