————————————————————————————
Pub Meetings are run by a host, who offers a warm welcome to all members and guests to meet at any of these venues once a month for an enjoyable social evening, amongst friendly club members, in an inviting atmosphere.
A great way to hear first hand the latest news and full details of all upcoming events in the current Tyne-Tees Centre calendar, plus reports on recent events from those who were there (we have the pictures to prove it).
The aim is to also have some topic of interest each month, which could be a short film or a talk / presentation by one of our members or an invited guest, or maybe a quiz or game.
In the summer months (April to September)we hold a self-judging Pride of Ownership Competition (both venues have large carparks) with points gained going towards the overall Pride of Ownership Trophies for the South and North, with categories for all years and models of MGs. Trophies are presented to the worthy winners at our annual awards ceremony.
————————————————————————–
Mid-week gatherings, known as “Coffee & Cars” in the north, and “Breakfast Meets” in the south happen on the third and fourth Wednesdays of the month respectively.
For the location of each for any given month, contact David Alexander or Noel Lindford respectively.
A warm welcome awaits you all at all of these monthly meetings, including of course any new members. Do come along and say hello!
