THE GENERATOR
I f
you’re looking for something to do with your MG this summer, you’ve come to the
right place! We’ve got a time-distance rally, a “flying circus” picnic, an
informative tech session, and an overnight campout with food to die for! It’s an
embarrassment of riches! Here’s a quick look at the previous weeks and what’s in
store for July and early August:
May/June Re-cap:
-
Seven members participated in the Depot Days
festival and Vintage Restoration Open House in Union Bridge, Md. on
May 18.
-
Club participation in the 31st annual
Original British Car Day was excellent. There were reportedly about 500
cars in total. The weather cooperated for most of the day until, just before
the awards ceremony, a downpour took place. The water gardens were very
happy! Congratulations to club members Chris Kintner, Liz Ten Eyck, Lucy
Hughes, and David Krebs who won awards for their MGs.
-
About 15 club members attended the Natter ‘n’ Noggin
membership meeting at the Lakeside Inn in Reston, Va.
-
At this writing, MG 2008, set for June 26 – June
29 is yet to occur. See the August Spark for a follow-up report.
July/August Look-ahead:
-
Don’t miss the grand daddy of all club activities—the 46th
annual Braille Rallye on Saturday, July 19 at Burke Lake Front Park
in Fairfax County. Please see details elsewhere in this issue.
-
The club’s annual Summer Picnic will be held on
Sunday, July 20 at the ever popular Flying Circus in Bealton, Va. This event
is in lieu of our monthly Natter ‘n’ Noggin membership meeting for the month
of July. Details elsewhere in this issue.
-
Learn practical information about diagnosing your car’s
symptoms at the Troubleshooting Tech Session led by our own
Tech-Committee on Saturday, July 26 in Newington, Va. Details elsewhere in
this issue.
-
The much-beloved Annual Campout at club member Pat
Hickock’s White Post Farm in Berkeley Springs, W. Va. is set for August
9-10. Details elsewhere in this issue.
Well, that about wraps it up for
this month’s Generator. As you can see, July and early August are action-packed
with fun and informative events. Please try to attend at least one, if not all!
