MG MGA - MGA Day at Canons Ashby

Hi All,

Can someone tell me where I can find further details on this ..?

It states on the MG Car Club website that more details will follow but as it takes place this coming Sunday, I would have assumed they would be on there by now.

Thank you

The weather forecast for the Canons Ashby area on Sunday has just been changed from being rainy to now being sunny with a low percentage chance of rain.
(According to the BBC on-line forecast)

Its a great day out if you have an MGA or if you an MGA fan Shane.
Well worth a visit.

Hope you do better on weather than the Scottish MGA Day on Sunday before last when we got the worst weather since Easter although great Dunkirk spirit. We found our hood seemed to seal better than most.

Thanks, Colyn. Mine still shows rain! I'll see what it looks like on the day. Shane

I see what you mean Shane, last night the BBC forecast was for sunshine with a 5% chance of rain, now today it says cloudy with 34% chance of rain!
I bet by tomorrow it will say blizzards!! :-)

Hi All
Has anyone got any photos of the weekend for us long distance members to drool over. Hope to get my A back on the road soon after completing an engine rebuild.

I took a few pictures and a couple of video clips of the event, which was actually really enjoyable in spite of being a bit drizzly to begin with. Canons Ashby was a great venue and was a really interesting place to visit.

The forecast torrential rain thankfully didn't happen and it was more of a damp muggy day than anything.
Unfortunately the forecast seemed to have put a lot of owners off and so the numbers were down this year.

I am in the process of putting together a YouTube clip of the event but the Moviemaker programme I normally use has just had a major update and so I am still fighting my way through the new process of editing.

I will post a link as soon as I have succeeded.
Cheers

Thanks Colyn.
Good to see it, as missed the trip this year, and not because of the bad weather forecast.

Thanks Brian
I have just been sent a link to another video clip which was taken by Jonny Pollard who organised the MGA Day for the Register so well.

It's a bit more Hi Definition than mine an so you should get some clearer pics.
Cheers

Thanks, Colyn for putting that up. Like lots of others, I wimped out (at the thought of 4 hours driving in the rain). Hopefully next year, with new hip and better weather, I might make it. A pity to miss the FHC with the sunroof, though.
