| Our September visit to the Watercress Steam Railway was a great success with the sun shining and sixteen cars MGA's, MGC's, F's, TF's, ZR's and MGB's. In true MGOC tradition we all had route instructions and most of us did not follow them, which added to the excitement with our convoy losing and picking up members during the drive. Eventually we all arrived at Ropley Station to join in their steam weekend and parked up on the main field over-looking the track. We spent a few nice hours watching all thing steam and having a picnic in the warm September sunshine. We then journeyed home in different directions with a number of us stopping at a suitable watering hole! |

| August saw us attending the annual Picnic and Gathering at Athelhampton supporting 1020 Bournemouth and Poole Club. It was a wonderful summer day, the weather could not have been better as ten cars set off from Chichester. Our thanks to Nigel and his team who once again put on a wonderful event and made us all feel welcome. The highlights were the wonderful display of Magnettes and the various honouree MG's which added a nice touch as each had a story. |
| Well it's the official end of summer holidays now and here at Chichester we are looking forward to our autumn calender. |

| July has been a very busy month for 1006, with two events and a club day. Our first outing was to Amberley Chalk Pits Museum for their classic car day. Many thanks to Jim for his report. Click here to read it. |
| On Sunday 2nd August we joined many thousands of people at Goodwood Breakfast Club for their Soft-Top Day and what a day it was, some four hundred soft-tops spread around the track, pits and car park. Some really great cars and of course well represented by MG's. We finished our day with a BBQ at The Spread Eagle in Midhurst; sunshine, loads of fantastic cars, great company and a BBQ what more could you ask for, a super day! Our thanks to Pete for laying on the BBQ. |

| We have been up to a lot since I wrote my report, June saw us joining Southampton and New Forest for the New Forest Run, with a number of our members joining the run and having a great day discovering new roads off the beaten track and village pubs tucked away from the rushing world of holiday makers and commuters. |
| Our thanks also go to Vicki and Jon who planned our Bluebell Run in June. Being a little later than we had planned in the year what the run lacked in bluebells it made up for in great weather, a fantastic run through the Hampshire country and ending at the wonderful gardens at Highdown. Of course we also had the element no 1006 run should be without... a great big cream tea! A wonderful end to a wonderful afternoon. |

| Well it's been a great start to our summer with a visit to Brooklands Motor Museum. Many thanks to Pete for taking the lead and to Jim for his report. See the Events Gallery to read Jim's report and see the pictures. |
| We are making the most of the summer evenings with runs on our monthly club nights which we hope to keep up until August. |
