260 events and other notable MG related event dates 2012 onwards

[colintf]

It was suggested that we have a list of events (and we have included other notable MG related dates eg MGCC race dates and BTCC dates) in the public area of the forum.

This list is based on AndyG's work / list :thumb

This could enable potential 260 owners to come along to an event and find out more about the cars and us as a group

Before travelling to an event listed, make a forum post here to double check that some 260's will be attending when you are planning to come along to an event to prevent a wasted journey!!

No they aren't, I'm trying to find the time to add them

Useful to have it on the calendar as it makes planning easier, certainly for me planning what I'll be attending and taking the club shop to

MG Saloon Day & V8 Register Curry Night added to post #1

:cool:

Please please please don't just turn up for the curry....everyone is very welcome but it needs to be organised so the curry house knows how many to cater for etc etc. Have a look at www.v8register.net (http://www.v8register.net) and follow the link on the events page and book in that way.

I have put on the events for 2012 working backwards from December and have got up to and including August Colin, they just need mods approval.
