THE GENERATOR
Club Activities At-A-Glance

August was a relatively quiet month for local club activities.  This was probably a good thing considering the oppressive weather we had. A lunchtime membership meeting was held on August 22nd at Kilroys Restaurant in Springfield. The turnout was strong and a good time was had by all.

September/October Look-Ahead:

• The annual Club Picnic is scheduled for Saturday, September 4 in conjunction with the Virginia Scottish Games at The Plains, VA.   This event takes the place of the customary monthly membership meeting.  Further details were included in last months Spark or contact Bryan Sieling (bryan.sieling@verizon.net) for further information.


• The next Tech Session will be held Saturday, September 18th starting at 10:00 AM at Wade Alexanders house in Oak Hill, VA.  A cookout will take place afterwards for all that would like to attend.  See details elsewhere in this issue of the Spark.


• The 35th annual Edgar Rohr Memorial Antique Car Meet, sponsored by the Bull Run Region AACA, will take place in Manassas, VA on Saturday, September 18. More information may be found at www.bullrunaaca.org.


• The very popular MGs on the Rocks Car Show will be held on September 25 at Rocks State Park, MD. See www.mgsofbaltimore.com/images/stories/Rocks/Rocks-2010-Flier.pdf for additional details.


• Car buffs meet every Saturday between 7:00 and 9:00 AM for coffee at Katies, 760 Walker Road, Great Falls, VA. See this article for background: www.examiner.com/x-31734-Fairfax-Corvette-Examiner~y2010m4d3-Corvettes-and-other-cool-cars-kickoff-season-for-Katies-Cars--Coffee.


• Also, anyone interested in the Grand Prix Festival in Watkins Glen, NY (www.grandprixfestival.com) the weekend of September 10-12, please contact Wade Alexander for info.  The accommodations fill up fast in the area, so you might want to start checking if you would like to attend.  If you have never been there, it is a weekend to remember that is wrought with vintage cars, wine tasting and history and fun galore.


• Dont forget to mark your calendar for Hunt Country Classic, scheduled for Sunday, October 10.  As you probably know, this is the clubs signature event and is one of the largest British car shows in the region. In addition to showing your MG and participating in the festivities, your support to assist your fellow members with parking or other duties would also be appreciated. Watch for additional information in the weeks ahead.
