BPMGOC wishes you a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year
Rain, wind and, not least, snow tend to discourage MG adventures so, when Saturday December 14th brought our Christmas Dinner at the Old Stone Trough Hotel, we were more than content to make merry in front of their new log burning stove.
We’ll meet you at Ireby Farm
“We’ll meet you at Ireby Farm,” they all said; so, as Fred tells us, this month’s run started at Ireby Farm Café instead of the Old Stone Trough. Neil and Janet were kind enough to go to the OST just in case anyone turned up unexpectedly. There were two guest this month, Robert (Rob) and Luba, who came with Fred and Betty, as they were next door neighbours and also live next door to Eric.
The Three Phases Tour
Fred and Betty laid on a treat for the first – and very wet – Sunday of October. It certainly was not a “hoods down” day! But it vividly showed us the contrasts of rural and industrial Lancashire and was clearly the result of imaginative and meticulous planning.
Anderton Boat Lift
Richard and Angela – after a year’s delay, and another week due to illness – had both recovered and led us on their interesting, long awaited Run. And what a run it was! Nine members and three dogs, in four MGs – Irv and Gail sporting their highly polished new chrome wires – and, to use the Club’s standard terminology, two German things, met up at Charnock Richard services whence we made the short journey to the Anderton Boat Lift.
